[PATCH] t: handle EOF in test_copy_bytes()

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-16 10:45:38

The test_copy_bytes() function claims to read up to N bytes,
or until it gets EOF. But we never handle EOF in our loop,
and a short input will cause perl to go into an infinite
loop of read() getting zero bytes.

I was playing with SANITIZE=undefined after René's patches to see how
far we had left to go. I forgot to turn off sha1dc, which causes most
programs to die due to the unaligned loads. That means git-archive in
t5000 generates no output, triggering the bug. :)

And I was pleased to see that after setting OPENSSL_SHA1, the answer to
"how far" is "we are there". Yay.

True with GCC, but not with Clang 3.9.  A patch for alignment issues in
dir.c is coming up..

Good to know that there are differences. I used clang for my sanitize
runs for the past few years (because of issues I had with gcc's version
in the 4.8 era), but just switched a week or two ago back to using gcc.

My impression is that clang is the primary platform for sanitizer
development, and so it would probably produce better results. We _could_
force "CC ?= clang" when SANITIZE is set, but that's probably a bit
unfriendly to people who only have gcc.

FWIW, I just did an UBSan run with clang-5.0, and it comes up with only
the dir.c problem.
