Fix chenc and its usages chenc was changing buffer it was passed to. This caused untrackable multiple conversions of token and possibly other variables. Change it to only return converted string Additionally logic extending dest buffer implicitly assumed that 0 bytes are left in dest buffer. It's not necessarily the case when converting to UTF-8 as if result would be 2-byte sequence and only 1 byte is remaining you get E2BIG as well. This fixes the case of pipe (-a) in UTF-8 with KOI8-R dictionary. diff -ur hunspell-1.6.1/src/tools/hunspell.cxx hunspell-1.6.1-mod2/src/tools/hunspell.cxx --- hunspell-1.6.1/src/tools/hunspell.cxx 2017-03-25 22:20:45.000000000 +0100 +++ hunspell-1.6.1-mod2/src/tools/hunspell.cxx 2017-08-14 23:22:16.246966174 +0200 @@ -243,7 +243,7 @@ #endif /* change character encoding */ -std::string& chenc(std::string& st, const char* enc1, const char* enc2) { +std::string chenc(const std::string& st, const char* enc1, const char* enc2) { #ifndef HAVE_ICONV (void)enc1; (void)enc2; @@ -258,7 +258,7 @@ std::string out(st.size(), std::string::value_type()); size_t c1(st.size()); size_t c2(out.size()); - ICONV_CONST char* source = &st[0]; + ICONV_CONST char* source = (ICONV_CONST char*) &st[0]; char* dest = &out[0]; iconv_t conv = iconv_open(fix_encoding_name(enc2), fix_encoding_name(enc1)); if (conv == (iconv_t)-1) { @@ -267,9 +267,10 @@ size_t res; while ((res = iconv(conv, &source, &c1, &dest, &c2)) == size_t(-1)) { if (errno == E2BIG) { + ssize_t destoff = dest - const_cast(&out[0]); out.resize(out.size() + (c2 += c1)); - dest = const_cast(&out[0]) + out.size() - c2; + dest = const_cast(&out[0]) + destoff; } else break; } @@ -278,7 +279,7 @@ } iconv_close(conv); out.resize(dest - &out[0]); - st = out; + return out; } return st; @@ -507,8 +508,7 @@ #endif int putdic(const std::string& in_word, Hunspell* pMS) { - std::string word(in_word); - chenc(word, ui_enc, dic_enc[0]); + std::string word = chenc(in_word, ui_enc, dic_enc[0]); std::string buf; pMS->input_conv(word.c_str(), buf); @@ -565,7 +565,7 @@ if (!dic) return 0; for (size_t i = 0; i < w.size(); ++i) { - chenc(w[i], io_enc, ui_enc); + w[i] = chenc(w[i], io_enc, ui_enc); fprintf(dic, "%s\n", w[i].c_str()); } fclose(dic); @@ -595,8 +595,7 @@ // check words in the dictionaries (and set first checked dictionary) bool check(Hunspell** pMS, int* d, const std::string& token, int* info, std::string* root) { for (int i = 0; i < dmax; ++i) { - std::string buf(token); - chenc(buf, io_enc, dic_enc[*d]); + std::string buf = chenc(token, io_enc, dic_enc[*d]); mystrrep(buf, ENTITY_APOS, "'"); if (checkapos && buf.find('\'') != std::string::npos) return false; @@ -937,7 +936,7 @@ fprintf(stdout, "%s", chenc(wlst[0], dic_enc[d], io_enc).c_str()); } for (size_t j = 1; j < wlst.size(); ++j) { - fprintf(stdout, ", %s", chenc(wlst[j], dic_enc[d], io_enc).c_str()); + fprintf(stdout, ", %s", chenc(wlst[j], dic_enc[d], io_enc).c_str()); } fprintf(stdout, "\n"); fflush(stdout); @@ -1194,8 +1193,7 @@ } std::string lower_first_char(const std::string& token, const char* ioenc, int langnum) { - std::string utf8str(token); - chenc(utf8str, ioenc, "UTF-8"); + std::string utf8str = chenc(token, ioenc, "UTF-8"); std::vector u; u8_u16(u, utf8str); if (!u.empty()) { @@ -1206,8 +1204,7 @@ } std::string scratch; u16_u8(scratch, u); - chenc(scratch, "UTF-8", ioenc); - return scratch; + return chenc(scratch, "UTF-8", ioenc); } // for terminal interface @@ -1532,13 +1529,13 @@ std::vector wlst; dialogscreen(parser, token, filename, info, wlst); // preview refresh(); - std::string buf(token); - wlst = pMS[d]->suggest(mystrrep(chenc(buf, io_enc, dic_enc[d]), ENTITY_APOS, "'").c_str()); + std::string dicbuf = chenc(token, io_enc, dic_enc[d]); + wlst = pMS[d]->suggest(mystrrep(dicbuf, ENTITY_APOS, "'").c_str()); if (wlst.empty()) { dialogexit = dialog(parser, pMS[d], token, filename, wlst, info); } else { for (size_t j = 0; j < wlst.size(); ++j) { - chenc(wlst[j], dic_enc[d], io_enc); + wlst[j] = chenc(wlst[j], dic_enc[d], io_enc); } dialogexit = dialog(parser, pMS[d], token, filename, wlst, info); }
