I get this message during compilation of ART 1.4.1.42 :

Some missing library ?
did not prevent a successful compilation.
thanks for your suggestions.

This is a warning about a potential overflow. I’ll have to take a closer look to understand it though… thanks for reporting!

Thanks Alberto, clearly that does not occur on ubuntu 18.04

I think the reason is that the size parameter passed to memcpy is an int instead of a size_t, so that makes gcc complain about the possibility of a negative size value .
