https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191263 Bug ID: 191263 Summary: [patch] dd(1): Incorrect casting of arguments Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: will@worrbase.com Created attachment 144014 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=144014&action=edit Better argument handling patch dd(1) casts many of its numeric arguments from uintmax_t to intmax_t and back again to detect whether or not the original arguments were negative. This is not correct. Attached is a patch that removes the pointless casts, and detects negative numbers slightly more reliably. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
