Which is right here ^^^
Any ideas?
Empty string in the middle of argv? Quite legal...
; cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while (argc--) {
printf("<%d:%s>", strlen(*argv), *argv);
argv++;
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
; gcc foo.c
; ./a.out a b
<7:./a.out><1:a><1:b>
; ./a.out a "" b
<7:./a.out><1:a><0:><1:b>
;
IOW, it's trivial to arrange - len can be 0 just fine...
