#3054 closed Bug (Fixed)

_Crypt_GenRandom always returns False and sets @error

Reported by: wraithdu Owned by: BrewManNH
Milestone: 3.3.13.21 Component: Standard UDFs
Version: 3.3.13.20 Severity: None
Keywords: _crypt_genrandom Cc:

Description

The function sets $iError = @error + 10 without checking @error. Further, I see no documentation or reason for @error + 10 at all.

Func _Crypt_GenRandom($pBuffer, $iSize)
	_Crypt_Startup()
	Local $aRet = DllCall(__Crypt_DllHandle(), "bool", "CryptGenRandom", "handle", __Crypt_Context(), "dword", $iSize, "struct*", $pBuffer)
	Local $iError = @error + 10, $iExtended = @extended
	_Crypt_Shutdown()
	If $iError Or (Not $aRet[0]) Then
		Return SetError($iError, $iExtended, False)
	Else
		Return True
	EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_Crypt_GenRandom

According to the header in the function, you wrote it, did someone change it after it was committed?

Yep. My original version is in ticket #2263.

I found where it was changed in the repository. Not sure why it got changed the way it did, but easy enough to correct.

In fact the + 10 if the $aRet[0] is non zero to insure the setting of a non zeror @error

In every function in Crypt.au3 error return values are offset by distinct constant values; I guess it's to help locate where the error popped from.

That doesn't explain why it is set that way, or when it was changed, or where it was documented. If you make a change like this, it needs to be documented.

Where 10 is being added to the @error value is definitely a bug. If you wanted to return a non-zero value for the $aRet[0] being 0 then you should be adding 10 to the $iError variable AFTER the If statement, not before it. The way it was rewritten guarantees that it will always return an error condition unless @error is -10.

Thanks ,
You right checking only @error instead of $iError was the smallest correction

I never pretended it was the right way to handle errors and never said it wasn't a bug! And I never touched this code.
