void SET_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_BUG(void);

DESCRIPTION

This macro sets up the call to set_bug when a problem can be described as an attempt to overflow a buffer. In development code (i.e. when TEST is defined), a generic message this condition is passed to the routine set_bug() together with the file and line number. In non-development code, a more user oriented message is passed (depending on the setting of the symbol "REPORT_ALL_BUG_INFO)". Note that the behaviour of set_bug() itself is dependent on the bug_handler, and the behaviour default bug handler is dependent on whether or not the code is development code. Note : It is advisable to expect SET_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_BUG to return, even though under many circumstances it will not. Normally the statement after SET_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_BUG is an error return.
