abc crashes if genlib library is in a read-only directory and no super is available #58
Closed as not planned
Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 65
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put genlib library in a read-only directory
2. Execute "read-library <genlib_library>
3. Crash.
Please provide any additional information below.
Simple error: abc_with_bb_support/src/map/mapper/mapperLib.c
line 184:
pFile = fopen( FileNameGenlib, "w" );
is followed by
Mio_WriteLibrary( pFile, pLib, 0 );
without any check for pFile == NULL. pFile == NULL should generate an error message
and fail gracefully instead of crashing. Ideally, in the case that the super library
can't be written, abc should make an attempt to change the super library path to the
current working directory, or maybe that should be the default, as there is no particular
reason for the temporary auto-generated super library to be in the same location as
the original genlib library.
