From b3dd815817ebf3e3bb6e95b8e8b9cc6ed2c64ff8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 16:21:09 +0000 Subject: The syntax of the roff(7) .mc request is quite special and the roff_onearg() parsing function is too generic, so provide a dedicated parsing function instead. This fixes an assertion failure when an \o escape sequence is passed as the argument; the bug was found by tb@ using afl(1). It also makes mandoc output more similar to groff in various cases. --- mandoc.1 | 20 ++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'mandoc.1') diff --git a/mandoc.1 b/mandoc.1 index 415769b3..d689fffa 100644 --- a/mandoc.1 +++ b/mandoc.1 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $Id: mandoc.1,v 1.257 2022/04/24 13:38:46 schwarze Exp $ +.\" $Id: mandoc.1,v 1.258 2022/04/28 16:21:09 schwarze Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 2012, 2014-2022 Ingo Schwarze .\" Copyright (c) 2009, 2010, 2011 Kristaps Dzonsons @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ .\" ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF .\" OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE. .\" -.Dd $Mdocdate: April 24 2022 $ +.Dd $Mdocdate: April 28 2022 $ .Dt MANDOC 1 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -1754,6 +1754,15 @@ request or a layout modifier has an unknown .Ar font argument. +.It Sy "ignoring distance argument" +.Pq roff +In addition to the margin character, an +.Ic \&mc +request has a second argument supposed to represent a distance, but the +.Nm +implementation of +.Ic \&mc +always ignores the second argument. .It Sy "odd number of characters in request" .Pq roff A @@ -2124,6 +2133,13 @@ The first argument of a request is neither a single ASCII character nor a single character escape sequence.
