Remove the line length parameter and associated code which led to buffer overruns in the line parsing code.

Also drops the undocumented 'include' directive.

Hello,

Quoted 2 lines · Justin Mitchell

Remove the line length parameter and associated code which led to buffer overruns in the line parsing code.

Where these buffer overruns caused by the first patch or where they originally there? If it is the latter what had to happen to cause them, being we never saw them.

Quoted 2 lines

Also drops the undocumented 'include' directive.

Good call!

Remove the line length parameter and associated code which led to buffer overruns in the line parsing code. Also drops the undocumented 'include' directive.

No, please don't drop the "include" directive. It was there for a reason. See commit be38fd8b8011c6bd.

Yes, it should be documented. I'm happy to provide documentation. But please do [not] remove things without first understanding why they are there.
