Previously, if you passed in a very big index and/or count, the `index + count` could overflow, making the count be used as-is instead of being truncated (causing the string to be updated wrongly and potentially writing to arbitrary memory locations). We can rewrite the comparison to use `len - index` instead. Since we know that index < len, we are sure this subtraction does not overflow, regardless of what values of index and count we pass in. As an added bonus, the `len - index` value already needed be calculated inside the if, so this saves a few instructions in the generated code. To illustrate this problem, consider this code: String foo = "foo"; Serial.println(foo.length()); // Prints 3 foo.remove(1, 65535); // Should remove all but first character Serial.println(foo.length()); // Prints 4 without this patch Not shown in this is example is that some arbitrary memory is written as well.

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

To report a bug in the software or to request a simple enhancement go to: http://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues
-
More complex requests and technical discussion should go on the Arduino Developers mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers

If you're interested in modifying or extending the Arduino software, we strongly suggest discussing your ideas on the Developers mailing list before starting to work on them. That way you can coordinate with the Arduino Team and others, giving your work a higher chance of being integrated into the official release https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers
Installation
Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux
Credits
Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.
The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, Daniela Antonietti, and David A. Mellis.
Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring.
