I think I've fixed all of those overflows in git.  Now waiting for the fuzzer to report more :-)

Dave provided a patch for the assertion issue, now applied to the git repository.

I plan to follow the advice given in https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?46149#comment8 to resolve this issue (together with same macro voodoo in case this functionality is missing in the compiler).  It's certainly a good idea to mark the places where overflow can happen without any harm.

In other words, no action is currently necessary for the overflow stuff.  There's no pressure, and as soon as the infrastructure is implemented, it should be straightforward to convert the affected operations.

The original CFF hint engine was designed with a goal of small code size. This led to two principles: good fonts should render correctly and bad fonts should not crash. In other words, it is acceptable for a bad font to render badly without necessarily returning an error. The use of 32-bit integers to hold 16.16 fixed point numbers is widespread, and usually not checked because it is not used in computing addresses.

It would be quite a bit of work (and code) to test and avoid all fixed point overflow. What would be gained?

I think the assertion is a separate issue, and should be removed and handled as an error.

Note that in debug mode this actually triggers assertions,
i.e. prevents us from fuzzing in debug mode.

cff_index_get_pointers: invalid first offset value 12 set to zero
assertion failed on line 591 of file src/cff/cf2hints.c

I've tweaked the bot to ignore all ubsan warnings with "/cff/"

>>  all those overflows are harmless,

You know better.
Strictly speaking, any signed int overflow is undefined behavior,
and as such can not be harmless. But yes, there are different
levels of "harmful".

Thanks.  It will take some time until Dave can take care of it, I guess.  On the other hand, all those overflows are harmless, AFAICS, so there is no pressure here.

BTW, these can be found on the FreeType fuzzer bot:
https://github.com/kcc/libfuzzer-example/wiki/FreeType-Fuzzer-Bot

the bot does not properly report reproducers for ubsan
errors because the ubsan errors are not made fatal
for which I'll need to use -fno-sanitize-recover=signed-integer-overflow,shift. And I can't make them fatal before the existing errors are fix, because otherwise the bot will be useless. :)
