Description Marco Rebhan 2020-12-23 11:54:31 UTC
The issue occurs because the package tries to use the res_n* functions (specifically res_ninit, res_nsearch and res_nclose) from resolv.h which do not exist when using musl. 

The issue does not exist with version 8.0.21, which I had installed previously.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use musl libc
2. Emerge dev-db/mysql-connector-c-8.0.22
Actual Results:  
libmysql/dns_srv.cc fails to compile.

Expected Results:  
The package should compile.

Portage 3.0.9 (python 3.8.6-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/musl, gcc-9.3.0, musl-1.2.1-r1, 5.4.80-gentoo-r1 x86_64)

mysql-connector-c musl patch

This is harder to solve, it requires detection for availability of the res_n* suite of functions.

As a workaround to make this somewhat operational you can apply this (conditional) patch
Comment 3 Marco Rebhan 2021-05-21 20:47:13 UTC
Nice, that at least makes it compile. Unfortunately I can't test how well it works since I don't actually use mysql on this box.

Thanks!

Comment 5 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2021-12-31 09:00:11 UTC
hmmm, is res_ninit supposed to be defined as macro?  At least on solaris it's a function, so this patch wouldn't work there

Fabian do you think something like this would be okay? I modified Stijn Tintel's PR a little bit.

Comment 9 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2022-07-12 06:07:34 UTC
I personally feel you better take a look at my patch in that case, since it would allow easier/more localised updating of the defines.  Darwin and Solaris for instance defines the n* variants as well, so disabling there because musl doesn't have them is a waste.

Can you make a version which can be applied unconditionally?

no:

I don't know how to do AC_CHECK_FUNCS with cmake.

Oh, right.

I didn't take your original comment to say that you didn't know how, I thought it was more as a proof of concept pending comment from maintainers.

Okay, got you Fabian, and sorry for late reply was not in cc list.

I couldn't you configure.ac, but used CMake to add in your patch conditionally. See if it looks any better

Comment 14 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2022-07-14 19:34:19 UTC
If that does the trick of setting the define when necessary, then this is most likely the best way, and perhaps acceptable upstream.  I'm not in the position to test at this point, but I'll try to remember to do so.  Thanks!

I'm doing the test :)

Yep, built fine.

However it would be very helpful if someone explained a bit what the macro "#define res_nclose(X) (void)X" is doing

There is nothing to close when no state is being used, so could have also defined it empty, but to avoid a compiler warning about an unused variable, I do a (void)-cast, which is a common way to pacify the compiler.

Thanks!
Comment 20 Brahmajit Das 2022-07-14 20:27:48 UTC
There is flaw in this patch. Works fines on musl, but complains on glibc about redefinition. The way I was doing checking through CMakeLists.txt is wrong. I'll have to update.

    dev-db/mysql-connector-c: Use res_n* functions only on GLIBC
    
    The issue occurs because the package tries to use the res_n* functions
    (specifically res_ninit, res_nsearch and res_nclose) from resolv.h which
    do not exist when using musl. So we are falling back to non-thread-safe
    functions from resolv.h
