Re: [pdf-devel] fixing unit test issues - pdf_i64_div_005

[jemarch]

Hi Brad.

   I'm investigating the test failures that I'm seeing on an AMD64
   box, Fedora 9.

Quite useful, many thanks.

   Start with types. It appears to have one issue:
   base/types/pdf-i64-div.c:168:E:pdf_i64_div:pdf_i64_div_005:0:
   (after this point) Received signal 11 (Segmentation fault)

   I'm pretty confident that there is a buffer overflow, but I have no ideas
   what the fix is.

Did you specify --enable-bignum-forcing in configure time? That
architecture features built in 64bit integers, and by default
PDF_USE_BUILDING_64BIT_SUPPORT should be 1.

   I added an assert that triggers on the problem, but don't have a real
   fix.

I just created a NEXT task in the flyspray to investigate this.
