Hi,
[...]
Patches are always welcome.
Thanks.
I just fixed a dtinfogen issue on FreeBSD 14-CURRENT. This is the same
issue discussed on OpenBSD 6.8 here,https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/t
ickets/94/. By default FreeBSD 14-CURRENT enabled jemalloc() debug mode,
which by default enables newly malloc()ed memory to be initialized with
junk. This in turn causes "flex scanner jammed" under FreeBSD current built
without MALLOC_PRODUCTION=yes in /etc/src.conf. To mitigate the problem one
needs to add MALLOC_CONF=junk:false to the make environment prior to build.
This affected 14-CURRENT (actually any -CURRENT as it affected 13-CURRENT
prior to this but is fine under 13-STABLE).
The problem does not exist under FreeBSD 13-STABLE nor under 12-STABLE
because jemalloc() is configured without debugging options, like
opt.junk:true.
I suspect that the OpenBSD bug is probably the same bug. They may
initialize newly allocated heap to junk just as FreeBSD -CURRENT does.
You can see what I did on FreeBSD here,
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/ports/commit/?id=50324bba317cf1f58e8c434e0e2ed129cd
ed3887.
That is interesting...
I just committed a pile of patches from Liang Chang today that converts
the docs to be UTF-8, and reworks much of the underlying code and
infrastructure - fixing a lot of problems and improving things there
quite a bit.
When/if you get a chance, could you tell me how well current master
fares on FreeBSD 14? I only have 12 and 13 in my current build testing
pool.
Otherwise, I'll see how to enable that in Makefile.am or configure when
I get more time.
