From: Kulikov Vasiliy on
'i' is unsigned, so this code is wrong if ext is long enough:

i = strlen(argv[0]) - strlen(ext);
if (i > 0 && !strcmp(argv[0] + i, ext)) { ... }

Make it signed.


The semantic patch that finds this problem (many false-positive results):
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@ r1 @
identifier f;
@@
int f(...) { ... }

@@
identifier r1.f;
type T;
unsigned T x;
@@

*x = f(...)
...
*x > 0
