sscanf() assigns its output in order, so if a conversion specifier fails to match, a later "%n" specifier will also not get its result assigned. In Undead's execute_move(), this led to the result of "%n" being used without being initialised. That could cause it to try to parse arbitrary memory as part of the move string, which shouldn't be a security problem (since execute_move() handles untrusted input anyway), but could lead to a crash and certainly wasn't helpful.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
