Hmm. This one looks interesting :). I'll see if I can get it fixed over the
weekend.
Thanks for the report!

Hello,Max:
Google can search out pornographic content, can you say that Google is
pornographic information dissemination engine?

Go Pirates! Err, wait. I'm pretty sure I've publicly stated that I don't
condone using smali/baksmali for piracy. I do agree that my tools can be (and
often are) used for piracy. However, there are also many legitimate uses as
well. Security research in particular comes to mind. I know for a fact that
baksmali has been used to investigate some of the malware applications that
have appeared on the market.
My goal is simply to provide the best tool possible. As such, when someone
reports a bug, I fix it. And this was clearly a bug in the baksmali code, where
it wasn't escaping the source file string correctly.
And even if I didn't fix this bug, it would be fairly trivial to automatically
or even manually go through the files and fix up the escaping in the source
file manually.

Right, but poweramp is not a malware, ch3 is a pirate, and you do good and
quick job supporting him. Nevertheless, smali still has bugs to exploit.

A few points:
1. Sure, you assert that poweramp is not malware (and I believe you too). But
from a security standpoint, does it make sense to trust your assertion? (Hint:
the answer is no)
2. So it's a bad thing to provide quick bug fixes for a project? Interesting
logic! :)
3. I don't contribute to/participate in/monitor the android piracy "scene". And
as such, have never heard of "ch3". But even if I knew he is a pirate, it
doesn't negate the fact that I fix bugs in my project when they are reported.
Are you suggesting that I wait until the bug is reported by someone that is not
a known pirate in order to fix it? Or maybe should I wait a week to fix bug
reported by pirates? It almost sounds like I should hire a screening company to
do an in-depth background check of every person that submits a bug report, to
make sure they're not up to nefarious activities.
4. Yes, I'm sure there are still bugs in smali/baksmali :). I'm not naive
enough to claim otherwise.
