Description Michael Osipov 2021-06-30 16:53:50 UTC
* I have installed a new FreeBSD host from 12.2-RELEASE image
* Installed gitup(1):
# fetch -o gitup.zip https://codeload.github.com/johnmehr/gitup/zip/main
# unzip gitup.zip
# cd gitup-main
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man/man1 /usr/local/man/man5
# make
# make MK_DEBUG_FILES=no DESTDIR=/usr/local BINDIR=/sbin MANDIR=/man/man install
# cd ..
# rm -rf gitup*

gitup makes use of ucl_iterate_object().

gitup works, it is now used to fetch a shallow copy of stable/12 to update base from release to stable. After stable has been applied and the system has been rebooted gitup fails with undefined symbol "ucl_iterate_object". One needs to recompile gitup to make it work again with stable/12.

The reason is commit a0409676120c1e558d0ade943019934e0f15118d (libucl: vendor import snapshort 20210314). In this specific commit the following has been performed:
...
> -UCL_EXTERN const ucl_object_t* ucl_object_iterate (const ucl_object_t *obj,
> -		ucl_object_iter_t *iter, bool expand_values);
> +UCL_EXTERN const ucl_object_t* ucl_object_iterate_with_error (const ucl_object_t *obj,
> +		ucl_object_iter_t *iter, bool expand_values, int *ep);
> +
>  #define ucl_iterate_object ucl_object_iterate
> +#define ucl_object_iterate(ob, it, ev) ucl_object_iterate_with_error((ob), (it), (ev), NULL)
...
> -ucl_object_iterate (const ucl_object_t *obj, ucl_object_iter_t *iter, bool expand_values)
> +ucl_object_iterate_with_error (const ucl_object_t *obj, ucl_object_iter_t *iter, bool expand_values,
> +    int *ep)

The dynamic symbol table has been modified and the symbol ucl_object_iterate is gone after base has been updated. This is a breaking change for me which I don't expect. While I can recompile gitup, no issue, others will have problems with other ports which may rely on this symbol to exist. This also means that one cannot build this port in 12.2-RELEASE jail and use it in a 12-STABLE system.

The vendor change must be modified that no macro is used, but the old symbol is retained and the replaced function simply calls the new one.

Comment 4 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-01-19 08:41:40 UTC
The is a reason why libucl is a private lib: no promise on stable ABI
