It's reasonable that it uses
assert
when all of its uses are such that the data must fit, so it'd be a usage bug (which we'd want detected in this way) if the data ever doesn't fit. However, it's probably unexpected that this function becomes unsafe in non-debugging builds. It should probably literally callabort
when theassert
condition is not met yet execution "mysteriously" continues. I hope the compiler will optimize out the redundant check whenassert
is compiled in.Also, the condition may be simplified (in both places) to
d_size > s_size
. I think the compiler cannot perform the same optimization on its own because it has to assume+ 1
may overflow (wraparound to 0).This PR is untested.
