Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2010-09-18 13:59:56 UTC
Currently, openrc strictly assumes that glibc won't export strlcpy(). This means that if at some point glibc starts to supply this function, or an user patches his glibc to do so (yes, I know nobody is going to support that), the build is going to fail with 'static declaration of 'strlcpy' follows non-static declaration' error.

In my opinion, the correct programming practice here is to use real guessing to determine whether a particular C library exports that function.

drepper has stated unequivocally in the past he isnt going to add these to glibc

re-open when hell freezes over

sys-apps/openrc-9999 was built with the following:
USE="(multilib) ncurses pam unicode -debug"


sys-libs/glibc-2.12.1-r1 was built with the following:
USE="gd glibc-omitfp (multilib) -debug (-hardened) -nls -profile (-selinux) -vanilla"
CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing"
CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing"

glibc was patched to ship strlcpy() and strlcat(), with some random patch found on the libc-alpha list.
