Package: libdvdread4
Version: 4.2.0+20120521-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While investigating crashes in another application I noticed they were
caused by libdvdread. Investigating deeper with printfs I would see:
| A path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0x7fffc800b350
| B path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0x7fffc800b350 errno: 2
| C path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0x7fffc800b350 new_path: 0xffffffffc80a3f10
errno: 2
| D path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0x7fffc800b350 new_path: 0xffffffffc80a3f10
| E path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0x7fffc800b350 new_path: 0xffffffffc80a3f10
| F path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0xffffffffc80a3f10 new_path:
0xffffffffc80a3f10
| G path: 0x7fffc8023f90 path_copy: 0xffffffffc80a3f10 new_path: (nil)
|
| Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
This was caused by the piece of code (src/dvd_reader.c line 435):
| #ifdef __GLIBC__
| new_path = get_current_dir_name();
| if(new_path == NULL) {
| goto DVDOpen_error;
| }
Turns out that we don't have a prototype for get_current_dir_name as unistd.h
has:
| #ifdef __USE_GNU
| /* Return a malloc'd string containing the current directory name.
| If the environment variable `PWD' is set, and its value is correct,
| that value is used. */
| extern char *get_current_dir_name (void) __THROW;
| #endif
In fact compiling we see:
| dvd_reader.c: In function 'DVDOpen':
| dvd_reader.c:437:9: warning: implicit declaration of function
'get_current_dir_name' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
| dvd_reader.c:437:18: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
cast [enabled by default]
So changing the start of src/dvd_reader.c to read:
| #define _GNU_SOURCE
+ #define __USE_GNU
| #include <unistd.h>
Fixes the compilation warning and the error.
Best regards, Peter
