[erlang-bugs] fmtq bug by inspection

[Perry Smith]

This looks like a bug to me:

static char* fmtq(char* ptr, int* buf)
{
     int c;

     switch((c=*ptr++)) {
<snip>
     case '0': case '1': case '2': case '3': case '4':
     case '5': case '6': case '7':
	c = c - '0';
	if ((*ptr >= 0) && (*ptr <= 7)) { <<<<<
	    c = (c << 3) | (*ptr - '0');
	    ptr++;
	    if ((*ptr >= 0) && (*ptr <= 7)) { <<<<<
		c = (c << 3) | (*ptr - '0');
		ptr++;
	    }
	}
	break;
     }
     *buf = c;
     return ptr;
}

Shouldn't it be:

     case '0': case '1': case '2': case '3': case '4':
     case '5': case '6': case '7':
	c = c - '0';
	if ((*ptr >= '0') && (*ptr <= '7')) { /* added single quotes */
	    c = (c << 3) | (*ptr - '0');
	    ptr++;
	    if ((*ptr >= '0') && (*ptr <= '7')) { /* added single quotes */
		c = (c << 3) | (*ptr - '0');
		ptr++;
	    }
	}

I found this simply by looking at the compiler warnings.
