DOS ain't dead - another bug in doslfn

another bug in doslfn (Announce)

posted by Japheth , Germany (South), 19.03.2022, 08:09

The newest doslfn 0.41e may in a few cases report an error ( access denied, DOS error 5 ) which in fact is none.

I have a test case which should make doslfn emit this error, but I'm not quite sure if it will do so on another machine, so I examined the probable bug a bit on my own. If needed, I can provide the test case, of course.

The error occurs during a copy operation of a directory, containing more than 1000 files, mostly with LFNs.

The error is actually in doslfn, procedure "make_free_dirent_space":

and dx,not bit 3 ;weiter mit normalem Next_DirEnt @@l1_: jns @@l1 ;(clears bit 3 of DL, tests sign of DH) call Calc_Next_Cluster ;there was no room for the longname jc mfde_ret ; so need to point to the new cluster call _set_cur mov bx,[Sektorp] jmp @@l1_ ;Calc_Next_Cluster will clear sign

When Calc_Next_Cluster is called, it expects registers EAX and CL to be set correctly, but they aren't ( CL is supposed to contain a shift factor, but actually contains 0FFh!; and EAX does not contain the "user area" sector number for the directory that is to be enlarged ). So Calc_Next_Cluster fails, resulting in error 0005 to be returned.

MS-DOS forever!
