Mike,

The code you posted may inflict undefined behaviour is not valid C for several reasons. The compiler is free to do whatever it desires. Please refer to ISO/IEC 9899 for more details.

If applications cast raw pointers to typed pointers without checking their alignment, well, god bless them :)
My opinion is both the compiler and the hardware are welcome to do the worst once your third line is discovered. On a number of CPUs such addresses cannot be even represented in the first place.

Yet, once again it is out of the scope of the current problem.

Best wishes,
Vitaly

Vitaly,

Why do you think there is no way to craft an odd address 
without memory corruption.

UINT8   ByteArray[100];
CHAR16  *String

String = (CHAR16 *)(&Array[3]);

The reason I raised the question of these other ASSERT()s
is that I thought the use case was using these safe string
APIs from a UEFI App, and the UEFI App always wants to evaluate
the return status to know if the operation was completed or
not.  In build that removes all ASSERT()s, an odd address
will generate an exception on some CPU archs.  Wouldn’t it
be better for the UEFI App that is already designed to handle
error return status to get an error code instead of an 
exception?

Mike

Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH V6 1/1] MdePkg: Fix
SafeString performing assertions on runtime checks

Mike,

Firstly, NULL check and odd-address checks are
essentially different things:
— NULL address is basically «no object», «optional
argument» (e.g. failed allocation).
— Odd address is memory corruption, as there is no way
to craft such address anyhow else.
For this reason the implementation is allowed to treat
them differently.

Secondly, as I said in my cover letter there is no
behaviour change here for RELEASE builds. Behaviour
changes unrelated to the bugfix will have to go to a
separate patch. I agree that we may want to reconsider
the interface in the future, but that’s for a separate
bugzilla and patch. Not discussing it currently is
important to avoid diverting from the primary problem.
Could create a bugzilla not to forget about it soon
after the stable tag.

Best wishes,
Vitaly

Why preserve the ASSERT()s for an a Unicode strings
that are not aligned in a 16-bit boundary?

This is essentially the same as an invalid pointer
value
just like NULL.  If NULL pointer returns an error
code,
shouldn't and invalid pointer value?

Thanks,

Mike
