Hi, all
  Today, we enter into Hard Feature Freeze phase until edk2-stable202005 tag is created at 2020-05-29. In this phase, there is no feature to be pushed. The critical bug fix is still allowed.

  If the patch is sent after Hard Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag, please add edk2-stable202005 key words in the patch title and BZ, and also cc to Tianocore Stewards, then Stewards can give the comments.

Below is edk2-stable202005 tag planning.
Date (00:00:00 UTC-8) Description
2020-03-04      Beginning of development
2020-05-08      Feature Planning Freeze
2020-05-15      Soft Feature Freeze
2020-05-22      Hard Feature Freeze

We’d like to ask that this patch be considered for the stable tag:
[PATCH v1 1/1] UnitTestFrameworkPkg/UnitTestResultReportLib: Use AsciiStrnCpyS()
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2721

The patch was reviewed prior to the hard freeze date, and is a small change that affects new(ish) code that is not heavily utilized yet.

does the original issue (reported in TianoCore#2721) persist with
TianoCore#2054 fixed?

My understanding (from TianoCore#2721) is that the original
AsciiStrCpyS() call is not buggy, it just triggers a (per spec) error
condition in AsciiStrCpyS(). Previously, that would indeed trip an
ASSERT(), but AIUI that issue has been resolved generally with
TianoCore#2054.

If the AsciiStrCpyS() call remains an issue with the ASSERT() removed,
then replacing the call with AsciiStrnCpyS() still seems like a bugfix
to me, not a "feature", so I think the patch is eligible for merging
during the HFF.

Mike, can you please merge the patch (if it's still needed)?

Thanks
Laszlo

I just looked into it, and I think that AsciiStrCpyS() was the wrong function to call in this loop anyway. AsciiStrCpyS() will fail without copying any characters.
AsciiStrnCpyS() will perform the string "slicing"/"chunking" that the loop seems to expect.

The bug stands and we should try to get that bug fix into the stable tag. Thanks!

Stewards and all:
  Leif requests two patches to catch this stable tag. They fix BZ https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2723. I see the point that the linux distribution default GCC version may be 10 or above. Without this fix, those developers can’t pass build edk2-stable202005. So, Leif thinks this is a critical bug fix. But, today is the stable tag release date. To collect the more feedback, I suggest to delay this stable tag to the middle of next week (2020-06-03). Before you get the formal announcement of the stable tag release, please be patient in Hard Feature Freeze phase.

Subject: [edk2-devel] Hard Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202005

Hi, all
  Today, we enter into Hard Feature Freeze phase until edk2-stable202005 tag is created at 2020-05-29. In this phase, there is no feature to be pushed. The critical bug fix is still allowed.

  If the patch is sent after Hard Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag, please add edk2-stable202005 key words in the patch title and BZ, and also cc to Tianocore Stewards, then Stewards can give the comments.

Below is edk2-stable202005 tag planning.
Date (00:00:00 UTC-8) Description
2020-03-04      Beginning of development
2020-05-08      Feature Planning Freeze
2020-05-15      Soft Feature Freeze
2020-05-22      Hard Feature Freeze
2020-05-29      Release

Thanks

Hi Liming,

There is a documentation only change to Readme files for the UnitTestFranmeworkPkg.

https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/60378

Any objections to adding this update to the stable tag?

Mike

Stewards and all:
  Leif requests two patches to catch this stable tag. They fix BZ https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2723. I see the point that the linux distribution default GCC version may be 10 or above. Without this fix, those developers can’t pass build edk2-stable202005. So, Leif thinks this is a critical bug fix. But, today is the stable tag release date. To collect the more feedback, I suggest to delay this stable tag to the middle of next week (2020-06-03). Before you get the formal announcement of the stable tag release, please be patient in Hard Feature Freeze phase.

Subject: [edk2-devel] Hard Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202005

Hi, all

  If the patch is sent after Hard Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag, please add edk2-stable202005 key words in the patch title and BZ, and also cc to Tianocore Stewards, then Stewards can give the comments.

Below is edk2-stable202005 tag planning.
