Description pavelo 2017-02-13 22:19:32 UTC
From the commit message:

    Fix an out-of-range error in new_graph (#356)
    
    The code was multiplying the index with the size of the element, and
    then adding it to the typed pointer (resulting in a double
    multiplication and an OOB access).
    
    Replace the buggy code with a slightly safer c++ alternative.


without this patch the app is pretty much useless on my machine - it segfaults due to heap corruption after a couple of seconds of uptime.

thank you.

Disclaimer: I wrote the patch. :)
