Description Quentin Armitage 2004-02-26 22:16:10 UTC
Description of problem:
With the compat-gcc compiler and libraries, freopen causes a SIGSEGV 
when the process exits (i.e. not at the time of calling freopen, but 
when exit (0) is called.
The problem does not occur when using gcc version 3.2.3.

Source code of fred.c:
======================================================
#include <stdio.h>


main ( int argc, char **argv )
{
        if ( argc > 1 )
        {
                if ( freopen ( argv[1], "r", stdin ) == NULL )
                {
                        fprintf ( stderr, "Unable to open %s\n", argv
[1] ) ;
                        exit ( 2 ) ;
                }
        }
        printf ( "Exitting\n" ) ;
}
==========================================
makefile:
==========================================
CC296=gcc296 -I /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/include -B /usr/lib/i386-
redhat-linux7/lib/ -g

fred:   fred.c

fred296:        fred.c
        $(CC296) -O -o fred296 fred.c
==========================================

Running with the various options produces the following results:
> fred fred.c
Exitting
> fred296 fred.c
Exitting
Segmentation fault
> fred296 <fred.c
Exitting
>


Please note that we need to use the compat-gcc and libraries due to 
using the Informix SDK version 2.81 whose libraries where built on 
RedHat version 7.1 (using the following versions: 1. The Informix 
product was built and tested on Red Hat 7.1 (Linux 2.4.2-5.0-MVFS #3 
SMP i686, Glibc 2.2.2-10) using gcc version  egcs - 2.95.3 20010315.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.123


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build fred296 with command "make fred296"
2. Execute command "fred fred.c"
3.
  
Actual results:
> fred296 fred.c
Exitting
Segmentation fault

Expected results:
> fred296 fred.c
Exitting


Additional info:

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-03 12:28:14 UTC
The reason seems to be a bug in compat-glibc which doesn't have
STB_WEAK SHN_UNDEF _IO_stdin_used symbol in libc_real.so's .dynsym.
This means that the resulting program is not marked as using glibc 2.1+
libio.

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-03 16:12:54 UTC
Should be fixed in compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.6.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-08 08:34:05 UTC
It will be part of RHEL3 Update 2.
