From 81aa19c303c94f549cb9ae343cfe4b635b4e888c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 07:03:11 -0700 Subject: Do not cast away const in agent_run_command While investigating something else, I noticed some weird code in agent_run_command (use of memcpy rather than strcpy). Then I noticed that 'cmd' is used as both an in and out parameter, despite being const. Casting away const like this is bad. This patch removes the const and fixes the memcpy. I also added a static assert to assure myself that the code in gdbserver is correct -- gdbserver is passing its own buffer directly to agent_run_command.
