Strange crashes in @CRC32 and @MD5

Hi,

I am experiencing some very strange crashes in the @CRC32 and @MD5
functions, using TCmd 11.00.39 (both x86 and x64 versions).

As it happens, I usually use the filename "f" for temporary files,
intermediate redirection output, and so on. However, when I try to run
either the @CRC32 or @MD5 function over such a file, TCC crashes. It
does not seem to matter whether the file "f" actually exists or not.

E.g. just run:

echo %@crc32[f]

in some empty directory, and it crashes. For the x86 version, the crash
stack is:
Code:
>    TakeCmd.dll!1004aeb5()     
     [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for TakeCmd.dll]    
     TakeCmd.dll!1004b051()     
     TakeCmd.dll!10013a1b()     
     TakeCmd.dll!10015428()     
     kernel32.dll!_BasepCreateActCtx@12()  + 0x6db bytes    
     kernel32.dll!_GetFileAttributesW@4()  + 0x68 bytes    
     05ffffff()
For the x64 version, it is:

Code:
>    TakeCmd.dll!0000000010056cf7()     
     [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for TakeCmd.dll]    
     TakeCmd.dll!0000000010056ee1()     
     TakeCmd.dll!000000001001dbe3()     
     TakeCmd.dll!000000001001f6f0()     
     TakeCmd.dll!0000000010029909()     
     TakeCmd.dll!000000001007fdfe()     
     TCC.exe!000000000040138e()     
     TCC.exe!0000000000403d3a()     
     kernel32.dll!BaseProcessStart()  + 0x2c bytes
Can anyone reproduce this?
 
TCC 11.00.39 Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002]
TCC Build 39 Windows Vista Build 6002 Service Pack 2

I can reproduce what you saw.

Also, using the filename s instead of f prints 0 for the CRC32
and D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E for the MD5. The SHA functions all seem
to behave.

Indeed, I had forgotten to mention this explicitly: the crash ONLY
occurs for the exact filename "f", not for any other filename that I
could determine. (I tried all 1-letter filenames).

Note the CRC32 and MD5 sums you mention are correct for an empty file,
so nothing is wrong with that.

Yes, same here.

I did not have a filename s there, and it should have shown -1 as it did for
all other single letter filenames (except of course f). I had created an
empty test folder and changed into it.

All 2-letter filenames (AA-ZZ) behaved as expected. All 3-letter filenames
(AAA-ZZZ) also, with NUL showing CRC32 0. For completeness, I should mention
that CON, oddly showed "ECHO is OFF" instead of a number.

@CRC32 and @MD5 use 's' and 'f' as "string" and "file" specifiers, and
expect a second argument if the first arg is 's' or 'f'. See the @MD5
documentation for details.

I've fixed the crash when you don't provide the (required) second argument
in build 40.

I didn't look at @MD5, but instead at @CRC32 which does not say the f or s
is allowed. It sounds like the help should be updated.

Which TCC version changed the syntax of @CRC32 from a single parameter, a
filename (the original syntax since V5) to requiring two parameters?

V5. And it doesn't require two parameters, unless you only have a single 'f'
or 's'. Otherwise, it assumes it's a filename.

Actually, I think it was V7. In my V5 and V6 the function %@CRC32[F]
operates on the file F correctly. I suspect the only reason I did not notice
the failures for files named F and S since the change in V7 that I don't
usually use those names, and when something occasionally failed I attributed
it to file system issues. Another reason for overlooking the undocumented
change is that I now typically use the "r" report code in PDIR, which, of
course, was not affected, and use @compare for file comparison, which is
always faster than comparing hash codes (and cannot be fooled, either).
