A bunch of bugs the ITS seems to be ignoring
Hi,
In late June I tried to submit 6 bug reports using your issue tracker
online. They seemed to submit OK, but didn't show up straight away,
however since you note on the site that they may not show up
immediately, I was content to wait. They still haven't shown up, though.
So now I have 7 bug reports! The original six are below. The seventh is
that the issue tracker doesn't work, or requires login or something else
that isn't documented.
If someone knows what I was doing wrong with the tracker and can explain
what I should be doing, I'm happy to enter these into it again more
effectively.
(My email program is likely to wrap this and thereby botch up the
patches, too. They're probably still easy enough to understand/fix.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
My precise situation is, I am sure, a very uncommon scenario. However, it may
affect other building methods as well, and an appropriate fix I am sure could help
a few users.
Here's what I have been doing (please try not to laugh!): I have been
cross-compiling OpenLDAP on Mac OS X for MinGW32, including the SQL backend. I
have found two issues related to the configuration/build process.
I am afraid I really have no knowledge of GNU autoconf, so I will describe the
problem and my fixes, but with no pretense that they are appropriate for applying
to the code. I will suggest an appropriate way to fix it, but will have to leave
that work to another developer.
This is the first.
On Windows/MinGW, the ODBC library is not libodbc.a, but libodbc32.a. Furthermore,
it seems the way function names are mangled on that platform includes their stack
frame size: the symbol for SQLDriverConnect which configure tests for is
_SQLDriverConnect@32.
I got around this by manually changing -lodbc to -lodbc32 in configure and then
further patching it as follows:
diff -ru --exclude=Makefile openldap-2.4.10/configure openldap/configure
--- openldap-2.4.10/configure 2008-02-12 10:36:45.000000000 +1100

int
main ()
{
-SQLDriverConnect ();
+/*SQLDriverConnect ();*/
+SQLDriverConnect (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
;
return 0;
}
This pulls in the appropriate headers for configure to find and use
_SQLDriverConect@32 in libodbc32. I got part of the idea from another user's post
I found on the Net, but a quick search of your issue tracker didn't show it up, so
I am reporting it now.
A more appropriate fix would be to change configure.in so that there are three
checks for ODBC: one in libiodbc, one in libodbc and one in libodbc32, which is
Windows specific, pulling in windows.h and sqlext.h before looking for the symbol
with 8 arguments. I guess this would probably involve a more customised macro in
configure.in. If that is too much trouble, perhaps the value for the ODBC library
could just be assumed if configure can detect a Windows build.

This is the second.
When linking OpenSSL on Windows, it is also necessary to link against libgdi32 and
libws2_32 needs to be linked after libcrypto.
I worked around the problem with a simple substitution in configure:
s/-lcrypto/-lcrypto -lgdi32 -lws2_32
A more appropriate fix would be to make configure test first without these extra
libraries, and then with them, so that they are included if needed.
Note that configure will not fail if -lws2_32 is omitted, but building libldap and
libldap_r will fail later. I think it is probably safe to assume that if -lgdi32
is needed, -lws2_32 will be (or at least available and not harmful to include).
A quick search and I couldn't find this issue already in your tracker.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have recently cross-compiled OpenLDAP for MinGW32 on Mac OS X. In so doing, I
discovered the following platform-specific issue.
The executables on Win32 have a .exe extension, so slapd does not detect the tool
names and act accordingly. Consequently, slapadd, slaptest, etc. all act the same
as slapd!
I solved the problem by patching main.c as follows:

Obviously this exact fix is not appropriate, because it will break every other
platform, but I am not sure of the appropriate preprocessor directive to use to
address this, as I guess it would also break a cygwin build, and should only be
done for a MinGW32 build. However, it would be helpful to fix with an appropriate
conditional!
I couldn't find a mention of this in your tracker so reporting it now.

I have recently cross-compiled OpenLDAP for MinGW32 on Mac OS X. While debugging
to find and fix two crashes which I will detail in other posts, I discovered that
an assertion is always failing because it seems it is inappropriately included
when it shouldn't be. I suggest this patch.

If you search for where the relevant parts of the macros involved in
SLAP_SOCK_NOT_ACTIVE, and particularly the marking of active and inactive, I
believe you will find they apply only in the HAVE_EPOLL case, and thus the
assertion should only hold in that case.
I did find a closed issue in your tracker related to the same assertion failing,
but it didn't detail the fix, and was very old, so I assume was not relevant to
this particular problem.

I have recently cross-compiled OpenLDAP for MinGW32 on Mac OS X. I found two bugs
in the source code relating to shutdown/freeing structures.
This is the first.
Because slapd_daemon_destroy can be called without slapd_deamon_init being called
(e.g. if testing configuration, or giving -VV as the documentation suggests does
something, though I'm not sure what), an attempt can be made to close sockets not
opened. I suggest the following fix:

I have recently cross-compiled OpenLDAP for MinGW32 on Mac OS X. I found two bugs
in the source code relating to shutdown/freeing structures.
This is the second. It relates to back-sql, which I realise is unsupported on this
platform, but seems to work very nicely once this and another bugfix or two (my
other posts) are made. Mind you, I have only done a small amount of testing, and
don't really understand what I am doing, as I am a complete newbie to LDAP. After
sending these patches I intend to embark on a reading of your Administrator's
Guide to learn.
From the source code, though, I don't see why the problem would only apply to
this platform anyway. It is this:
When an SQL handle is opened, it is registered to be freed. When it is freed,
however, it is not deregistered, so can easily be freed twice, particularly as to
load the schemas the database connection is opened and closed. I suggest this
patch to fix it (the patch looks larger than it really is as some code needed to
be moved to ensure correct definition order):
