In io/fts.c the macro MAX is used with the first argument being a function
call:
if (fts_palloc(sp, MAX(fts_maxarglen(argv), MAXPATHLEN)))
goto mem1;
This may lead to side effects. How about rewriting this with
{
size_t maxarglen = fts_maxarglen(argv);
if (fts_palloc(sp, MAX(maxarglen, MAXPATHLEN)))
goto mem1;
}
Or is the side effect intended?
A second effect is that glibc gets a little bit faster ... ;-)
