Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] banned.h: mark ctime_r() and asctime_r() as banned.
Date: Tue,  1 Dec 2020 13:11:38 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201201211138.33850-2-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201201211138.33850-1-gitster@pobox.com>

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

The ctime_r() and asctime_r() functions are reentrant, but have
no check that the buffer we pass in is long enough (the manpage says it
"should have room for at least 26 bytes"). Since this is such an
easy-to-get-wrong interface, and since we have the much safer stftime()
as well as its more conveinent strbuf_addftime() wrapper, let's ban both
of those.
