BUG: ESQL-C: Divisor in Parentheses May Cause AV in NSQLPREP

MORE INFORMATION

Other operators (such as +, -, and *) do not cause an AV in NSQLPREP.

The following is a sample code fragment that will cause the ESQL-C precompiler to generate an AV:

   int main (int argc, char** argv, char** envp)
   {
      int x;
      EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
            char o[3];
      EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
      x = 1 / (1);   // causes AV
      return (0);
   } /* end program */ 
				

The following sample code fragment will not cause the precompiler to generate an AV, because there is a character string variable assignment before the division expression:

   int main (int argc, char** argv, char** envp)
   {
      int x;
      char string[] = "";  /* character string assignment */ 
      EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
            char o[3];
      EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
      x = 1 / (1);
      return (0);
   } /* end program */
