I'm trying to work with clamav sample code. Application compiled,prints number of signatures, and then crashed.
Using debugger, I found code with error:
On this code application crashed. Help plz to fix error.Code:if((ret = cl_scandesc(fd,&virname,&size, engine, CL_SCAN_STDOPT))== CL_VIRUS){//!!!!! printf("Virus detected: %s\n", virname); }
P.S. MSVC 2010/MSVC 2017, x86/x64 - same error.
So using the debugger, find out which of fd,virname,size, engine are garbage.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
A wild guess of what to try.
The sample has this
I would try to replace it withCode:const char *virname;
Tim S.Code:const char *virname = NULL;
