[mapserver-dev] Ticket 3537 - Buffer overflow vulnerabilities

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

  Except the 2 issues I mentioned, It build ok for me.
> Building with MSVC (9), I get build errors for the following declaration:
> size_t buffer_size = 512;
>  char buffer[buffer_size];  #line 2209
>
> mappostgis.c(2209) : error C2057: expected constant expression
> mappostgis.c(2209) : error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant 
> size 0
> mappostgis.c(2209) : error C2133: 'buffer' : unknown size
>
>  I will change locally and continue the build.
>
> I also get build errors usually when variables are declared in the 
> middle of the code and not at the beginning of functions or beginning 
> of loops. I am not sure if it is a setting that I need to do or It is 
> is simply not valid for all compilers. I tend to correct that when I
