| Summary | 0000151: Incorrect documentation for string.unsafe_set_char | ||||||||||||
| Description | James Cussens found that the documentation for this standard library predicate and function doesn't match the implementation. The documentation says that it is a constant time operation but it involves a strcpy. The unsafe part of the name says that there is no bounds check and that a strlen call isn't performed. | ||||||||||||

The documentation refers to the commented out mode of unsafe_set_char, which is constant time. The problem is that the mode that is enabled isn't. |
