Guillem Jover 21d12b02 2023-04-04T23:59:05 build: On macOS do not build functions provided by the system We have never built before on macOS, so we can exclude all the functions that are currently provided in the system. Closes: #1 Closes: !3
Guillem Jover 1fb6c3f4 2023-04-10T23:10:40 Use lockf() when flock() is not available On Solaris flock() is not available, and we should use instead lockf() or fcntl().
Guillem Jover fe16f386 2023-04-10T23:11:33 test: Use open_memstream() only if available On Solaris this function is not yet available.
Guillem Jover bc65806c 2023-04-06T23:05:27 build: Select whether to include funopen() in the build system This makes sure we include it when expected, alongside the man pages, and the test cases, and do not accidentally break the ABI if the system starts providing such interface.
Guillem Jover 8b7a4d9d 2023-04-07T23:43:55 build: Move Windows OS detection to the OS features section This was placed here to make use of the same AS_CASE, but it does not really fit with the section. Move it to the more appropriate place, and detangle the AS_CASE.
Guillem Jover a5faf170 2023-04-01T12:46:49 Only use <stdio_ext.h> if present
Guillem Jover ccbfd1c2 2023-04-07T23:40:22 build: Remove __MUSL__ definition from configure We stopped relying on this macro when we turned the funopen() cpp error into a warning in commit e50896286cc5718898194edb73fa7262ad9a22db.
Guillem Jover 44824aca 2023-04-01T12:41:42 Declare environ if the system does not do so The environ variable is supposed to be defined by the code using it, but on glibc-based systems it will get defined if we request it, by including <unistd.h> and defining _GNU_SOURCE.
Guillem Jover 257800a0 2021-02-20T22:23:40 build: Add support for sanitizer compiler flags
Guillem Jover dec783dc 2023-02-12T23:55:09 build: Fix version script linker support detection When the linker uses --no-undefined-version either specified by the user or as the default behavior (such as with newer clang >= 16 releases), a missing symbol definition will cause a linker error if that symbol is listed in the version script.
Florian Weimer 5dea9da3 2022-12-13T03:37:06 build: Improve C99 compatibility of __progname configure check The check uses printf, so it needs to include <stdio.h> for compilers which do not support implicit function declarations. (They were removed from C99.) Closes: !23 Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>
Guillem Jover b9bf42dd 2022-12-13T03:35:05 build: Enable -Wall for automake This will make sure to warn about bogus or deprecated constructs.
Guillem Jover e57c0787 2022-12-13T03:34:37 build: Add missing AM_PROG_AR macro call to configure.ac Warned-by: autoreconf
Guillem Jover 80f1927d 2022-12-13T03:31:38 build: Fix configure.ac indentation Use the same style as the newly added code, which should make the code more readable, and produce more conforming C output.
Guillem Jover b7a8bc22 2022-12-13T03:10:28 build: Require automake 1.11 This is a rather old release (from 2009), that provides AM_SILENT_RULES.
Guillem Jover e5089628 2022-11-23T23:31:54 build: Do not require funopen() to be ported This function cannot be easily and (more importantly) correctly ported without cooperation from the libc stdio layer. We already document that users should be prepared to have the function not available on some platforms and that they should ideally switch their code to other more portable and better interfaces. Instead of making the build fail, and requiring porters to add exceptions for something that most probably cannot be ported correctly anyway, simply print a warning and let it build. This will not be a regression because on those systems libbsd would have never been built before. Prompted-by: Jens Finkhaeuser <jens@finkhaeuser.de>
Guillem Jover 5cfa39e5 2022-11-23T23:42:49 build: Use «yes» instead of «true» for AC_CHECK_FUNCS cache value This autoconf macro sets the ac_cv_func_ cached variable to «yes» not «true» so we were checking for an impossible condition.

Guillem Jover 2975d809 2022-01-23T18:54:33 build: Check for objdump explicitly We should not assume that something will implicitly check for this tool, as we need it ourselves, and this is an internal implementation detail of right now libtool. Fixes: commit f11ab6722367f1cf62704ed3c827b9b68dcb5397
Guillem Jover 54796231 2022-01-22T22:41:51 Release libbsd 0.11.4
Guillem Jover e7cf8c57 2021-11-28T22:44:08 Switch md5 compatibility logic back to direct linking When using the recent dlsym() based wrapper, we are not requiring any symbol from libmd, as we resolve those dynamically at run-time. We were ending up linking against libmd because in another part of the code we require (depending on the architecture) the SHA512 functions for the getentropy() local implementation. But that function might be provided by the system libc on some systems, which means we end up not linking against libmd at all. To solve this we go back to the previous simpler solution of linking directly, which had the main drawback of then making programs fail to link when not specifying -lmd (on platforms that need it). And then switch the .so link point from a symlink to a linker script, so that we can inject the -lmd library as-needed. This is similar to what glibc is doing. Fixes: commit 31f034e3862debda8615a449b1c11c4d6920dcc7
Guillem Jover 25d35625 2021-11-28T22:40:58 build: Split libmd dependency due to MD5 functions from SHA requirements To be able to rework the md5 deprecation logic, we need to detangle when we depend on libmd due to requiring MD5 functions, which might be otherwise provided by libc, or when we require SHA functions for the internal getentropy() implementation.
Victor Westerhuis 54f87456 2021-11-26T20:01:18 build: Enable .init_array support when building with LTO Because these symbols are not otherwise referenced, GCC would like to remove them. Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>
Guillem Jover 731b0a77 2021-08-17T02:59:59 build: Detect sed at configure time Check whether sed is available and use the implementation matching the requirements via the SED variable.
Guillem Jover 4f68a88f 2021-02-19T06:55:17 build: Add compiler warnings support Detect as many warnings as possible during configure and enable them if the user did not supply any, so that any such problem can be spotted and fixed.
Guillem Jover 1fb25b7d 2021-02-09T06:14:25 Release libbsd 0.11.3
Guillem Jover 31f034e3 2021-02-09T05:57:37 Switch libmd wrapper to use dlsym() Switch from the previous versioned symbol implementation which required users to also link against the message digest provider explicitly, or they would fail to find the symbols, to an implementation that loads the symbols from the linked library providing the functions using dlsym(), thus preserving backwards compatibility.
Guillem Jover a4e0db2b 2021-02-09T06:04:38 build: Use a single variable to track libraries to link against Using various variables means we have to keep these in sync in various places. Just use a single variable that we can use anywhere where this is needed.
Guillem Jover 43d34c9d 2021-02-09T06:02:46 build: Fix message digest library checks They were not failing when not finding the SHA-2 functions and were hardcoding -lmd regardless of what library had been found.

Guillem Jover 847e682f 2021-02-07T00:09:30 Use libmd hashing function implementations instead of embedding our own This splits the implementation responsibilities, and reduces embedded code copies, which was one of the driving points with this project to start with, so it's nice to give a good example.

Aaron Dierking 4bed4839 2018-06-14T11:38:32 build: Detect Windows/MinGW at configure time Extend the host OS checks to define an OS_WINDOWS automake conditional if the host is MinGW-like. This will be useful for future Windows-specific build tweaks. [guillem@hadrons.org: - Rename WINDOWS conditional to OS_WINDOWS. ] Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>
Guillem Jover b0ebb0d4 2019-08-06T23:16:42 build: Use __register_atfork() only if really available This is a glibc-specific symbol that has no public declaration. But is being used by the OpenBSD and this implementation as a hack to avoid having to link against the pthread library. This interface is at least included in LSB 5.0 [L], and using pthread_atfork() is otherwise problematic anyway [P]. [L] <https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/baselib---register-atfork.html> [P] <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=851> One problem is that we were using it whenever __GLIBC__ is defined, which is supposed to be defined only on an actual glibc, but uClibc defines that macro, but it does not provide the symbol on its noMMU variant. We add a new configure check that will try to link a program that uses that symbol to make sure it is present. Closes: !2 Reported-by: Fabrice Fontaine <fontaine.fabrice@gmail.com>
Guillem Jover 73aea4f8 2019-08-06T23:11:50 build: Fix check for clock_gettime() within librt The check was always setting the libraries to link to include -lrt, as the success case includes the builtin one. Handle the various values.

Guillem Jover 368af99f 2016-08-28T17:13:20 Fix the __progname check to avoid the optimizer discarding the symbol Because we were assigning to another unused variable, when building the check with optimizations enabled, which is the default when using gcc as the compiler, the variable was being discarded. Instead pass it to printf() so that it cannot do so.

Guillem Jover e8d3d041 2014-07-20T01:48:20 build: Remove hard requirement for GNU .init_array section support In case the support is not available, just stop building the libbsd-ctor.a library, which is a nice to have thing, but should not have been a hard requirement from the start. This should allow to build libbsd on non-glibc based systems using another libc.
Guillem Jover f41fdcf1 2013-10-21T05:07:56 Add funopen() function This is a wrapper over the glibc fopencookie() function. We diverge from the FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD declarations, because seekfn() there wrongly uses fpos_t, assuming it's an integral type, and any code using that on a system where fpos_t is a struct (such as GNU-based systems or NetBSD) will fail to build. In which case, as the code has to be modified anyway, we might just as well use the correct declaration.

Guillem Jover c5b95902 2013-07-11T12:25:54 Move setproctitle() automatic initialization to its own library The automatic initialization cannot be part of the main shared library, because there is no thread-safe way to change the environ global variable. This is not a problem if the initializaion happens just at program load time, but becomes one if the shared library is directly or indirectly dlopen()ed during the execution of the program, which could have either kept references to the old environ or could change it in some other thread. This has been observed for example on systems using Samba NSS modules. To avoid any other possible fallout, the constructor is split into a new static library that needs to be linked explicitly into programs using setproctitle(). As an additional safety measure the pkg-config linker flags will mark the program as not allowing to be dlopen()ed so that we avoid the problem described above. Reported-by: Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@gmail.com> Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66679
Guillem Jover 3077d2ff 2013-07-12T22:15:58 build: Move version ABI from Makefile to configure.ac It's easier to find there, and the value can be reused in case we have to provide another shared library.
Guillem Jover 6faea4d2 2013-05-29T02:23:56 Force setproctitle() into .init_array section The GNU .init_array support is an extension over the standard System V ABI .init_array support, which passes the main() arguments to the init function. This support comes in three parts. First the dynamic linker (from glibc) needs to support it. Then function pointers need to be placed in the section, for example by using __attribute__((constructor)), that the compiler (gcc or clang for example) might place in section .ctors and the linker (from binutils) will move to .init_array on the output object, or by placing them directly into .init_array by the compiler when compiling. If this does not happen and the function pointers end up in .ctors, then they will not get passed the main() arguments, which we do really need in this case. But this relies on recent binutils or gcc having native .init_array support, and not having it disabled through --disable-initfini-array. To guarantee we get the correct behaviour, let's just place the function pointer in the .init_array section directly, so we only require a recent enough glibc. Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65029
Guillem Jover 06f0585c 2013-05-21T10:31:59 build: Compress the distribution tarball with xz instead of gzip
Guillem Jover e9933255 2013-05-25T17:11:53 Make setproctitle() available in 0.2 and 0.5 version nodes Make the 0.5 version the default, so that code wanting the actual implemented version can get a proper versioned depdendency. For code linked against the old version, make it available as an alias.
Guillem Jover 35785f8d 2012-11-25T21:10:53 Modify setproctitle() to conform to project coding style Use local getprogname()/setprogname() instead of reimplementing them locally. Use clearenv() if available, not just on glibc. Use bool instead of _Bool. Use paranthesis on sizeof. Fold the SPT_MIN macro into spt_min(). Make spt_init() static. Avoid unnecessary gotos.
Guillem Jover 14524b54 2012-06-03T07:39:42 build: Set default compiler variables from configure This centralizes the setting so there's no duplication anymore, makes sure the user supplied variables are never overridden, and are only set when using gcc.
