Just a small patch

The function getlogin_r() is declared with a second parameter of type int. This surely was meant to be a size_t.

contrib/llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/Analysis/TargetLibraryInfo.def:889:/// int getlogin_r(char *name, size_t namesize)

Ruby 2.8 compilation was careried out on Linux, but breaks on FreeBSD because of this.

^Triage: 

- brooks@ last touched around this area in base r332119 and may have some input on this, request feedback
- wes@ originally wrote it, do the same
Comment 2 Conrad Meyer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-09 16:48:14 UTC
These functions are specified by POSIX as... taking size_t.  Yeah, our version seems wrong.  However, our libc implementation takes int, so to change this you need to provide libc ABI compatibility for the old version.

I posted this bug report almost three months ago. In the meantime, the fix works here through the whole time.

Will there ever happen anything further? Do you want to get rid of me? Sorry for trying to contribute.

If this post won't receive an answer, I will file another bug report about the bug report system.

Hi,

Sorry, but there was no confirmation that Conrad's patch actually fixed the problem that spurred this PR. He fixed the problem he identified with the standard mismatch, but he received no feedback to confirm that there aren't any other unexpected issues (e.g. neither patch actually fixes the declaration in ^/include/unistd.h, for instance) -- based on this alone, I wouldn't have picked it up either.
Comment 6 Bertram Scharpf 2020-09-06 04:09:06 UTC
So, what has to happen that I can remove my local patch and still compile Ruby2.8?
Comment 7 Kyle Evans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-06 04:12:36 UTC
(In reply to Bertram Scharpf from comment #6)

I've pushed the complete patch (your manage change + cem's ABI compat patch + header change) into phabricator at the above-referenced review URL. Once it's gotten another review or two, I'll commit it and MFC in a couple days to get it into 12.2.
Comment 8 Bertram Scharpf 2020-09-07 11:40:05 UTC
Thank you. This is the third time I was forgotten.
Comment 9 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-08 02:46:32 UTC
To the original reporter, have you tried the combined patch as proposed (in D26335)?

  getlogin_r: fix the type of len

  getlogin_r is specified by POSIX to to take a size_t len, not int. Fix our
  version to do the same, bump the symbol version due to ABI change and
  provide compat.

  This was reported to break compilation of Ruby 2.8.

  Some discussion about the necessity of the ABI compat did take place in the
  review. While many 64-bit platforms would likely be passing it in a 64-bit
  register and zero-extended and thus, not notice ABI breakage, some do
  sign-extend (e.g. mips).
