CDE has relied upon catgets() implementations following a relaxed
interpretation of the XPG internationalization standard that ignored
-1, the standard error value returned by catopen, as the catalog
argument. However, this same behavior causes segmentation faults with
the musl C library.
This patch:
- Centralizes (with the exception of ToolTalk) all calls to catopen(),
catgets(), and catclose() through MsgCat within the DtSvc library.
- Prevents calls to catgets() and catclose() that rely upon
undefined behavior.
- Eliminates a number of bespoke catgets() wrappers, including multiple
redundant caching implementations designed to work around a design
peculiarity in HP/UX.
- Eases building CDE without XPG internationalization support by providing
the appropriate macros.
This is enabled by default. To disable, add:
in the config/cf/site.def or host.def file.
You will need to have the libtirpc-dev package installed.
The benefit is that you will no longer need to run rpcbind in insecure
mode (the -i option). There are other benefits we may be able to take
advantage of in the future, like supporting IPV6 for ToolTalk.
Patch from Pascal Stumpf <Pascal.Stumpf@cubes.de>:
So here are all the patches that deal with the fact that modern
compilers assume different scoping rules for variables declared in for
loops. On Linux, -fpermissive has been added as a compiler flag to
compensate for this old C code, but I think it is the wrong approach.
Sorry, couldn't help sneaking in a || defined(CSRG_BASED) and some casts
needed for other reasons ...
Remove from individual Imakefiles.
Also, remove '#if 0' block in linux.cf, and remove empty
LinuxMachineDefines. This should be working correctly. If not, let me
know.
