[gentoo-dev] musl doesn't provide execinfo.h

[gentoo-dev] musl doesn't provide execinfo.h

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi,

https://bugs.gentoo.org/713668 relates.

 * Searching for /usr/include/execinfo.h ...
sys-libs/glibc-2.29-r7 (/usr/include/execinfo.h)

As I see I can either add an explicit depend on glibc which I'd prefer
not to.  Or someone from the musl team could possibly assist on how to
get the backtrace() set of calls on musl please?

Alternatively I need to add a test and simply path debug.c to only
provide stub function for print_backtrace(FILE *fp) that just does
fprintf(fp, "No backtrace() available to print a backtrace.\n");

Suggestions?

Kind Regards,
Jaco

As someone not on musl team, I think libunwind provides
an implementation of backtrace().

Thanks.  That indeed looks interesting.

Let's say I do go that route rather than simply no-opping it, would I
add a BDEPEND + RDEPEND of the form:

|| ( sys-libs/glibc sys-libs/libunwind )

To the ebuild?

The code (./configure and actual "C" I'll manage).

Kind Regards,
Jaco

if libunwind can be used, you should use this dep

    elibc_musl? ( sys-libs/libunwind:= )

but idk if it's usable as is on musl.
best way to check is to get musl stage3 tarball and test it.
alpine does have a musl patch, but it seems they just patch it out completely.

Some quick searching on google, it looks like the cleanest fix for that bug
is dahdi-tools needs to be patched to only include execinfo.h or only use
backtrace() on glibc-based systems, and that patch then sent to the
dahdi-tools upstream developers for inclusion in a future release.  That
way, we're not dragging that patch around forever in the tree or in the musl
overlay.

It also doesn't look like musl itself will ever implement execinfo.h or
backtrace(), per this message in 2015 from the lead musl developer:

Thanks.  I'll see action accordingly.

Implementing libunwind is overkill for my needs, I'll be happy to help
push things upstream if somebody else cares enough to implement.

Re: [gentoo-dev] musl doesn't provide execinfo.h

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi,

So I figured I better write the patch for dahdi-tools against musl ...
so I proceed to download a stage3 tar from
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/amd64/musl/ (vanilla).

I extract it, and mount --rebind /dev, /proc and /sys, and copy in
/etc/resolve.conf ...

chroot ... and so far so good.

emerge --sync
emerge -uDNav @world.

And this blows up on pam-1.3.1-r2.  Looks like
https://bugs.gentoo.org/687234.

I've seen mention of a musl overlay?

What's the best way to proceed?

As it stands I can't "make prepare" gentoo-sources (which 4.19.X) is
apparently the newest available for musl profile.  Reports seems to
indicate that this be related to "old linux-headers" (which is at ).

Kind Regards,
Jaco

Either add sys-libs/pam to package.accept_keywords to pick the latest
fixes, or fetch/enable this overlay:

Correct.  I've been adding -standalone packages to provide for features
like fts, obstack, argp,etc. which are bundled into glibc but not really
under the POSIX standard.

So either we patch packages to turn off backtrace() or we add
libunwind-standalone to the tree.

BTW, we had libexecinfo for fbsd, which seems also present in alpine:

Had?  Is it in the tree now or should I look into adding it?
