Re: [9front] sam input line length limits

["Steve Simon" <steve@quintile.net>]

Normally I would be very wary of changing sam it has served
me well for many years, but I am with you on this one,
it has bitten me in the past and its annoying.

Re the patch:

I am being pedantic, I know, but for completeness...
free(c) should come before the test for s == nil,
as it could lead to a memory leak. reordering the code
fractionally fixes it.

 
 	c = Strtoc(&f->name);
-	sprint(buf, "%c%c%c %s\n", " '"[f->mod],
+	s = smprint("%c%c%c %s\n", " '"[f->mod],
 		"-+"[f->rasp!=0], " ."[f==curfile], c);
+	if(s == nil)
+		error(Etoolong);
 	free(c);

changes to 

 	c = Strtoc(&f->name);
-	sprint(buf, "%c%c%c %s\n", " '"[f->mod],
+	s = smprint("%c%c%c %s\n", " '"[f->mod],
 		"-+"[f->rasp!=0], " ."[f==curfile], c);
 	free(c);
+	if(s == nil)
+		error(Etoolong);
