Subject: Account for trailing bytes read from bfd_bread
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 04:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140715041726.GU8039@bubble.grove.modra.org> (raw)
Noticed when debugging the >2G obstack corruption of gdb data. When
we have a truncated read, we ought to return the amount read. Not
that it matters very much on an error return..
* cache.c (cache_bread_1): Don't return -1 when fread returns
a positive value.
