Re: [tz] defensive value for define on Solaris causes load of timerule to fail

Anything else is also ok, but the union now does not have 'take largest value of somethong' for the fullname member. It is also ok for me to say: #if FILENAME_MAX < 260 #define TZ_FILENAME_MAX 260 #else #define TZ_FILENAME_MAX FILENAME_MAX #endif And use TZ_FILENAME_MAX in the union. My message is just to say 'please take care for platforms where FILENAME_MAX is arbitrary (too) short'. And the value of 14, as used on Solaris, is too short, as some time rules already exceed this length. It makes no sense (i.e. it does not help for the other platforms) in this case that Linux has a much bigger value for this define. As I have checked now, on most platforms, except Solaris, it is 260. Linux uses (as one of the few) a larger value. I've checked HPUX, AIX, Windows, Solaris and several Linux flavors. Kees

core dumps on AIX7.1 and HPUX11.31 and tzcode 2017B.
by Kees Dekker June 13, 2017

June 13, 2017

Hi, When using the IANA tz data and code (version 2017B) on AIX and/or HPUX, I got core dumps. I was not able to figure out the root cause, but after I had renamed the timezone, daylight and tzname variables to something else (i.e., prefixed with olson_), the error disappeared. A similar crash happened on AIX 7.2, but in only one test case (compared to all our test cases on AIX 7.1 and HPUX 11.31). I don't have a good explanation for the different behavior between AIX 7.1 and 7.2. The tz code was incorporated into two parts of our product: 1. The tzcode was built with USG_COMPAT enabled, i.e. timezone, daylight and tzname symbols are used and incorporated into our binaries 2. The tzcode was also built into a shared library that uses another shared library that calls some of the time functions from libc (e.g. tzset(), or gettimeofday()) BTW: in our code, I'm renaming (using defines) all tz functions too, and prefix them with 'olson_'. So, at symbol level, no duplicates between system functions and TZ code functions should exist. In our code, the error happened under the following circumstances: 1. A binary of us is using the tz library (using USG_COMPAT) 2. That binary loads dynamically (with dlopen(), with RTLD_GLOBAL flag) another shared library of us, also containing the tz library 3. A 3rd party shared library was loaded by our own shared library. Also with dlopen/RTLD_GLOBAL flag. Both our binary (#1) a shared library (#2) were creating using export lists/versions scripts. None of the tz code or variables was exported. And our shared library is using a flag that forces the loader to perform 'innermost symbol resolution' (in such way that C++ exceptions still work). The 3rd party library was either the Oracle or DB2 client database library. Both perform a call to libc that triggers a time function (gettimeofday() or tzset()). The core dump happens in libc, on one of the time functions, called by the 3rd party shared library. Using IANA tz functions from our binaries, without loading 3rd party shared libraries works fine. Hypothesis: the fact that the tzcode (compiled with USG_COMPAT) changes (one of) the (libc exported) timezone, daylight, tzname, causes the time functions in libc to crash. Notes: a. making timezone, daylight, tzname static in the IANA localtime.c and added a get_xxx function did not help either. b. Building without USG_COMPAT did not help either. It is quite strange that none of these both (#a and #b) did help, but I lack time to do more research. As I now have a suitable workaround (by renaming/prefixing involved variables), it is fine for me now. This mail is just intended to inform about conflicts/core dumps, most probably related to 'similar named' variables with the system libc (and thus generate a trap on some platforms). If the tz code can get changed (ever/in the future) to prevent such conflicts, it would be great. No other action is needed (by me) for now. Regards, Kees

defensive value for define on Solaris causes load of timerule to fail
by Kees Dekker June 12, 2017

June 12, 2017

Hi, The FILENAME_MAX macro, as used in the local_storage union in localtime.c, has on Solaris the very low/defensive value of 14 (from stdio.h). Please consider using PATH_MAX, from limits.h instead, as that value is (usually) 250 or beyond. Or anything else, that can hold reasonable lengths of file names. Loading zonefiles now fails on Solaris if a filename exceeds the used macro. Regards, Kees

[PROPOSED] Clean up configuration of tzname etc.

This documents a bit of software archaeology better. tzname is standardized by POSIX, whereas timezone and daylight are standardized by POSIX SI, so allow them to be configured separately. * Makefile, NEWS, Theory: Document this. * date.c, strftime.c, zdump.c (tzname): Remove decl; private.h declares tzname as needed now. * localtime.c (tzname, timezone, daylight, altzone): Also define if TZ_TIME_T. However, define only if the relevant other macro (HAVE_TZNAME, USG_COMPAT, ALTZONE) is set or defined. (update_tzname_etc, settzname): Set tzname only if HAVE_TZNAME. At the end, simplify ifdef by using TZ_TIME_T. * newctime.3: Document optional vars and fields more carefully. * private.h (USG_COMPAT): Set default from _XOPEN_VERSION. All uses changed to assume it is 1 or 0. (HAVE_TZNAME): Set default from that and from _POSIX_VERSION. (TZ_TIME_T): New macro. (daylight, timezone, tzname, altzone): Rename if needed to avoid collision with standard library. (tzname): Declare if (!HAVE_POSIX_DECLS || TZ_TIME_T) && HAVE_TZNAME. (timezone, daylight): Declare if (!HAVE_POSIX_DECLS || TZ_TIME_T) && USG_COMPAT, not if not defined and !HAVE_POSIX_DECLS. (altzone): Declare even if not defined. (tzsetwall, offtime, timegm, timelocal, timeoff, time2posix) (posix2time, posix2time_z, time2posix_z): Use TZ_TIME_T instead of (defined time_tz). * strftime.c (_fmt): * zdump.c (abbr): Use tzname only if HAVE_TZNAME. --- Makefile | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------- NEWS | 8 +++++++ Theory | 6 +++--- date.c | 1 - localtime.c | 34 ++++++++++++++++-------------- newctime.3 | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- private.h | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- strftime.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++------------------ zdump.c | 9 ++++---- 9 files changed, 160 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 476f259..e6d497d 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -164,6 +164,7 @@ LDLIBS= # not needed by the main-program tz code, which is single-threaded. # Append other compiler flags as needed, e.g., -pthread on GNU/Linux. # -Dtime_tz=\"T\" to use T as the time_t type, rather than the system time_t +# This is intended for internal use only; it mangles external names. # -DTZ_DOMAIN=\"foo\" to use "foo" for gettext domain name; default is "tz" # -DTZ_DOMAINDIR=\"/path\" to use "/path" for gettext directory; # the default is system-supplied, typically "/usr/lib/locale" @@ -199,12 +200,6 @@ GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS = -DGCC_LINT -g3 -O3 -fno-common \ -Wno-address -Wno-format-nonliteral -Wno-sign-compare \ -Wno-type-limits -Wno-unused-parameter # -# If you want to use System V compatibility code, add -# -DUSG_COMPAT -# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line.

mend historical data of Europe/Dublin
by Michael Deckers June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Europe/Dublin currently has the two fall backs in 1946 and 1947 going from 02:00 to 01:00, one hour before the corresponding two jumps in Europe/London. This is wrong; both should go from 03:00 to 02:00. For 1947, the "Summer Time Order, 1947" at [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1947/sro/71/made/en/print.html] gives the time of the switch as "two o'clock, West-European time", where "West-European time" means GMT according to the "Summer Time Act, 1925", section 4, at [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1925/act/8/enacted/en/print.html] For 1946, the "Summer Time Order, 1926" at [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1926/sro/919/made/en/print.html] specifies the time of the switch in the same manner. Hence I propose to change Zone Europe/Dublin as follows: # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] - 0:00 1:00 IST 1946 Oct 6 2:00 + 0:00 1:00 IST 1946 Oct 6 2:00s 0:00 - GMT 1947 Mar 16 2:00 - 0:00 1:00 IST 1947 Nov 2 2:00 + 0:00 1:00 IST 1947 Nov 2 2:00s 0:00 - GMT 1948 Apr 18 2:00 Michael Deckers. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
