| Description: |
The attached patch cleans up the hash alloc code in the case of a really short string. This comes up in Tk when you have a window named ".t" and it gets added to the global table. The problem is that the Tcl_HashEntry* is pointing to an array of 19 bytes while a Tcl_HashEntry takes up 20 bytes. This does not cause any problems at runtime as far as I can tell. It is really just an issue of correctness. I can't imaging this patch could possibly break anything so it should be safe to apply. | |||
