Hi,
Guile uses libtldl to do its dynamic linking and we decided to ship
our own copy of it (suitably renamed) since we found that libltdl
contained some showstopper bugs and we wanted be able to fix them
quickly without having to wait for a libtool releases and also to be
sure that people use the right version of libltdl. Please don't think
of this as a fork; we hope that this way, we can better help to
improve libltdl in general.
And so here is the first patch that we use (it's against 1.4.3). What
do you think?
2002-10-04 Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* ltdl.c: (memcpy): coerce ptrs to (char *) before copying
characters through them -- I can't recall for sure, but I
believe this was causing an overrun error at times.
(realloc): Remove custom realloc. (#define rpl_realloc realloc)
and comment out later code for custom realloc. You can't define
your own malloc unless you know enough about the malloc in use to
be able to tell how big the src ptr is. The disabled code
incorrectly used the *destination* ptr to decide how much to copy.
This sometimes results in out-of-bound accesses which cause
segfaults. This is a quick hack for now; we may want something
cleaner later.
(tryall_dlopen_module): check to be sure (dirname_len > 0) before
testing first character against '/'.
(try_dlopen): check for feof(file) in read loop -- otherwise
infloop?
(LT_EOS_CHAR): moved here from guile-ltdl.h.
2002-10-04 Marius Vollmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* raw-ltdl.c: (try_dlopen): Set newhandle to null when
try_all_dlopen failed.
(scm_lt_dlopenext): Reverse test of "file_not_found()".
Previously, we would stop searching when the file wasn't found
yet, while we should continue in that case.
