Description of problem: [root@paris ~]# rpm -q cscope cscope-15.6-2 This is actually cscope-15.6-2.fc10.src.rpm rebuilt on RHEL5 x86_64 (where the same problem exists) Pull and upstream kernel tree run cscope -R -k -q look for the global symbol ESPIPE UTTER FAIL! run cscope -R -k look for the global symbol ESPIPE WORKS!
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Just out of curiosity, have you tried the same on i386 / using 32-bit build? Doing some read through invlib.c, I've spotted this: logicalblk.invblk[3+2*numinvitems++] = iteminfo.packword[0]; logicalblk.invblk[2+2*numinvitems] = iteminfo.packword[1]; If numinvitems is e.g. 30, iteminfo metadata is written to indexes 63 and 64. Later in the code, one can see: holditems = numinvitems; [ ... ] iteminfo.packword[0] = logicalblk.invblk[--holditems * 2 + (sizeof(long) - 1)]; This seems to be an attempt to read what was previously written. Constant 3 in the write is probably expected to be the same as (sizeof(long) - 1)? Though that is not true on modern 64 bit systems, so this accesses index 67 which may be uninitialized or have some outdated info. I failed to build a good enough understanding of the data file format, so not sure what may be consequences. Another unrelated issue: in ENTRY, size is defined as unsigned char. strlen(thisterm) is written to size. If thisterm is rather long (probably unlikely in normal code), len gets silently truncated / wrapped.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Eric, do me a favor, try this again on a kernel tree, this seems to be working for me.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
eric, did you ever try this again?
closing due to no response
