APR's configure script logic results in inconsistent type and format
string definitions on OpenBSD. apr_off_t is defined as 'long long'
but APR_OFF_T_FMT is defined as "ld".
This results in obvious build failures e.g. if httpd is built with -Werror.
This is just one example of many such errors:
/home/stsp/svn/src/httpd-2.4.37/server/util_expr_eval.c:1144:56: error: format
specifies type 'long' but the argument has type 'apr_off_t'
(aka 'long long') [-Werror,-Wformat]
return apr_psprintf(ctx->p, "%" APR_OFF_T_FMT, sb.size);
~~~ ^~~~~~~
This happens because off_t is defined as 'long long', and because
sizeof(long) and sizeof(long long) are both 8, on OpenBSD/amd64.
The configure script section which sets APR_OFF_T_FMT first checks for:
"$ac_cv_sizeof_off_t" = "$ac_cv_sizeof_long"
and sets APR_OFF_T_FMT to "ld", before it checks for:
"$ac_cv_sizeof_off_t" = "$ac_cv_sizeof_long_long".
This looks like a generic problem, but I am not sure the existing logic could
be make to work in general. Switching the order of checks makes the configure
script produce valid results on OpenBSD but I am not sure if that would be a
correct thing to do on other platforms.
Since the existing logic apparently works on other platforms it's
probably best to leave as it is and add an override for OpenBSD.
However, any platform where off_t is 'long long' and long is a 64 bit
type is affected by this issue.
