sscanf not working good in icl 12.0.5

[Naveen_Tulabandula]

Below code is working good in 10.1.0.32 but failing to produce correct output

in 12.0.5

working env :: win2k8 R2 64-bti

#include

int main()

{

char buf[100]="ORACORE 4 6 0 1 2# none alpha";

char ver[100];

char prod[101];

int v1, v2, v3, v4, v5;

char vc=10;

char dist[102];

const char *distptr;

char reltype[5];

int rtype;

sscanf((const char *)buf, "%s%d%d%d%d%d%c%s%s", prod, &v1, &v2, &v3, &v4, &v5, &vc, dist, reltype);

printf("buf ::%s\\n",buf);

printf("sscanf ::*%s*\\n*%d*\\n*%d*\\n*%d*\\n*%d*\\n*%d*\\nvc::%d\\n*%s*\\n*%s*\\n",prod, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, vc, dist, reltype);

}

thank you for letting us know and with a testcase.

I'll file the bug and get it fixed. It does not with 13.0 beta as well.

btw, the latest production compiler is 12.1 update 10. your version is a little old.

Our engineer found that the following var is too small. I should have read the code more carefully as well.
If you change the "5" to "6", it works great. It is an user error in this case.

char reltype[5];

Thanks a lot.

I understood the mistake i did

As there is no space for NULL character it is placing NULL in next memory address which was already allocated to variable v1. Hence 4 is overwritten with 0.

I didn't know that all char arrays will be allocated memory consecutively on stack irrespective of the order in which they are declared in the program.

Thanks for looking into it.
