Description Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2012-08-09 15:28:46 UTC
There are numerous QA warnings of the form

 * ../wcsmbs/bits/wchar2.h:201:2: warning: call to '__wcsncpy_chk_warn' declared with attribute warning: wcsncpy called with length bigger than size of destination buffer [enabled by default]

when testing glibc-2-12-r2 on arm.

Portage 2.1.11.9 (hardened/linux/arm/armv7a, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.0.15 armv7l)

QA notices for glibc 2.15 on ppc64

The same QA issues come up on ppc64.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-10 05:57:20 UTC
hrm, please post the full build log.  glibc specifically does not build with fortify source enabled, so i don't know why it's being enabled for you.

Build log for glibc-2.15-r2 on ppc64

If the ppc64 build log is not sufficient, I'll prepare the arm as well.
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-11 02:53:22 UTC
i have to assume this is the hardened toolchain doing stuff it shouldn't.  i just built glibc on ppc64 w/out any warnings.

I did it in a chroot on timberdoodle with a fresh stage3, vanilla everything.  Feel free to take a look in /home/blueness/ppc64.  The buildlog is in my home directory.

The arm was done with hardened.
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-11 18:12:28 UTC
i don't know what "timberdoodle" is.  only remote ppc64 system i have access to is rooster.

timberdoodle.gentoo.osuosl.org = 140.211.15.158.  ranger gave me an account.
POWER7 (architected)

No problem, I'll repeat on rooster and report back.  I have access.

Okay I found the culprit.  Its FEATURES="test".  Without tests, it compiles perfectly, no QA issues at all.  I am confused as to why 'make -j1 -k check' causes this.

I'll test on arm too, but I've got a feeling it will be the same there.

I also tested on mips64el, ABI = o32, n32, n64 and with FEATURES="test" the build dies on some test, but without tests, it compiles just fine.

Close invalid?
Comment 10 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-13 02:47:47 UTC
these test cases are specifically designed to testing fortify, so the warnings are correct -- things are overflowed on purpose.  not sure if there's a way to silence these sanely.

Okay then its just something the tester needs to know.
