Description Miloslav Trmač 2012-06-21 13:11:32 UTC
Description of problem:
While string literals support most escapes, e.g. "\n", "\r",  parsing "\f" is not supported.  "\f" is documented in both RFC 4627 and the ECMAScript specification, so it seems json-c should support it as well.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
json-c-0.9-4.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Check return value of json_tokener_parse("\"\f"\"")


Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat > foo.c <<\EOF
> #include <stdio.h>
>
> #include <json.h>
> 
> int main(void)
> {
>   printf ("%d\n", json_tokener_parse("\"\\f\"") != 0);
>  return 0;
> }

2. gcc -W -Wall -O2 foo.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs json)
3. ./a.out
  
Actual results:
0

Expected results:
1

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2012-06-21 15:56:58 UTC
Upstreamed.

Comment 2 hawicz+redhat 2012-07-30 02:10:13 UTC
Fyi, I've applied a fix for this to the main json-c sources on github, and I'm expecting to do a release in the next couple weeks.  (it'll probably end up being called version 0.11)

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 06:32:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Miloslav Trmač 2013-07-04 13:21:35 UTC
Still the case in json-c-0.10-2.fc18.

Comment 6 Miloslav Trmač 2014-01-02 15:53:01 UTC
Seems to work fine (at least per the reproducer) in json-c-0.11-3.fc19.x86_64 .  Thank you!

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 22:46:19 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
