VS6 SP6, latest service pack for Visual Studio 6.0, is out. Looking at the bugfix list, I'll have to upgrade soon or later for legacy projects. Here is a choice selection of bugfixes:
- CRT string format functions may underwrite buffer.
- ISAPI DLLs that are built with MFC static libraries are vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks.
- Visual C++ 6.0 Optimizer may generate code that experiences access violations
- Inline functions return incorrect results when you specify the /Gx and /Ob1 compiler options for optimization
- VCSpawn fails during build.
I wonder if SP6 fixes frequent build state corruption? Having to rebuild completely over and over is not fun.
