Subject: f77 overwrites source files
Index: src/cmd/f77 / driver.c 2.9bsd
Description:
f77 does not check to see if the user would overwrite his source
file.
Repeat-By:
f77 -o f.f f.f
Fix:
Change the code to check the last two characters of the target. And
complain if it is one of "cefros".
Somewhere in main() where the variables are declared add
int dotpos;
Then in the switch looking for case 'o' add the following:
aoutname = *++argv;
--argc;
/* non portable hack -- dotpos is an int */
if ((dotpos = dotchar(aoutname)) != NO ) {
if (dotpos == 'f' || dotpos == 'c' ||
dotpos == 's' || dotpos == 'r' ||
dotpos == 'e' || dotpos == 'o') {
fprintf(diagfile,
"It does not seem sensible to name the output %s\n",
aoutname);
done(1);
}
}
break;
There are a few extra lines included in the above, to indicate context.
Sorry i did not choose to fix the other character with integer comparisons.
