We received a number of FP reports at Microsoft related to buffer overflow queries that all involve inconsistency in DBs. Sadly, I don't have access to any tracer logs so that we can debug why these inconsistencies happen, and I haven't been able to reproduce it with any locally build DBs.
The main problem is that a
structhas multiple sizes, and this PR mitigates the problem by restricting theBuffer.qlllibrary (which is used in a number of overflow-related queries) to only types with unique type sizes.Since I haven't been able to reproduce the problem I also haven't been able to provide a testcase.
Commit-by-commit review recommended.
