TYPE: bug fix
KEYWORDS: registry, path
SOURCE: internal
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Problem:
PR #1975 added the ability for registry code to be generated out-of-source. To do this, a provided path is used and prepended to include statements within registry files. The max path length checks to create the search path string in a
char*does not take into account the combined prepend path + relative file path length. When this happens, no obvious errors occur, but a buffer overflow causes malformed registry code to be used, eventually leading to failed compilation.Solution:
Use a max path length that checks both the relative file path length and combined length when using the prepended path. As failure to pass this will result in erroneous code, the error messages have been updated to convey that as well.
TESTS CONDUCTED:
