Function fds_stat never returns

[Adrian Eggenberger]

Hi

I've implemented support for the FStorage and the FDS in our application. In some cases it happens, that the function "fds_stat" does not return.

The reason can be found in the subfunction "dirty_records_stat". If an invalid header is found the pointer p_rec is not increased and the while loop will never be left.

I assume that there is an increase of the pointer missing?

Thank you for reporting this bug, it is much appreciated!

I do not know if increasing the pointer would fix this, as calculating the next p_rec depends on information from the record header (which in the given case is invalid). I have registered the issue in our internal issue tracker, so that the developers will have a look at it and find a solution.

Has there been any update to this? Simply removing the "else," but leaving the code in place such that the pointer is always incremented, appears to resolve the issue. It appears that even a dirty record seems to break this function. I understand that if a header is actually invalid, it would be difficult to handle, but dirty headers are perfectly valid.

I fixed the issue the same way as you proposed. Until now it seems to work as expected. Maybe the bug will be fixed in an upcoming SDK. Any response from the developer team about the issue?

Hi,

I have checked the issue tracker and the repository. The issue was solved a month ago, and will be included in an upcoming SDK release.

What was the fix? Remove the "else", as also was suggested in the question comments.
