Hey Folks, It seems like some of the fuzz tests are explicitly attempting to fail by creating large allocations and catching exceptions from failed memory allocations. If you're working with a malloc library that has exceptions turned off, this causes crashes... Is this the correct interpretation of how fuzzScanLines & fuzzFile is intended to work? This seems to be testing that malloc throws correctly - which in my case, it does not - I just want to make sure I can feel comfortable turning these fuzz tests off for the future. Chris -- I think this situation absolutely requires that a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. And we're just the guys to do it. _______________________________________________ Openexr-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/openexr-devel
