Hi, I want to report a bug about searching.
My dovecot version is 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) and use Solr 7.7.2 for full text
search.
The issue appear when try to search using solr special characters. For example
if I have emails with the subject that contain the only character "(" open
parenthesis, then try to search it I receive zero results.
In the Solr log seems the "(" is correctly excaped as "\(":

Hi,
the recent Ubuntu (re)builds uncovered an issue with dovecot 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-1
build log:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/529849650/buildlog_ubuntu-hirsute-amd64.dovecot_1%3A2.3.13+dfsg1-1build1_BUILDING.txt.gz
A coworker tried 2.3.14 but got the same result.
What fails is the json_parser build time test like:
test-json-parser.c:161: Assert(#25) failed:
null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0
I was looking into that a bit more and what I found is that it is
dependent on the new toolchain
of gcc 10.2.0-1.
Not all calls to json_parse_* fail, e.g. the first one looks all good and passes
I was iterating the tests using a report function defined like
(gdb) define repcon
>c
>p pos
>p json_output[pos].type
>p type
>p json_output[pos].value
>p value
>call null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value)
>end
The first one to be bad was:
Breakpoint 2, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at
test-json-parser.c:161
161 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos);
$84 = 25
$85 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$86 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$87 = 0x555555633b25 "-12.456"
$88 = 0x555555693110 ""
$89 = 45
Earlier and later parsing was happy, for example
Breakpoint 2, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at
test-json-parser.c:161
161 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos);
$90 = 27
$91 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$92 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$93 = 0x555555633b32 "12.456e9"
$94 = 0x555555693110 "12.456e9"
$95 = 0
(gdb)
We have two things we compare here.
1. json_output[] which is a static define and for this value is
67 ????{ JSON_TYPE_NUMBER, "-12.456" },
2. the return value that json_parse_next returns.
25 ????" \"sub2\":-12.456,\n"
148 ????????????????ret = json_parse_next(parser, &type, &value);
I tried a non negative number and got success which is suspicious
Breakpoint 5, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at
test-json-parser.c:164
164 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos);
$122 = 25
$123 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$124 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER
$125 = 0x555555633b2c "12.456"
$126 = 0x555555693110 "12.456"
$127 = 0
(gdb)
Also the return value otherwise LGTM, it is recognized as a number:
540 } else if ((ret = json_parse_number(parser, value_r)) >= 0) {
(gdb) n
541 *type_r = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER;
So parsing worked one might think, but the value was not set.
(gdb) p *value_r
$833 = 0x555555693110 ""
It turns out json_parse_number is too optimized.
Too optimized for debugging further into json_parse_number.
But also optimization is causing the issue.
With -O0 or -O1 it works fine, even putting the lower optimization
level just around json_parse_number it is enough to avoid the issue.
Not a fix but "avoidance" for now:

{
I was trying to see what happened and tracked each str_append_c
that happened inside json_parse_number.
A breakpoint on str_append_c and backtraces showed that we clearly do the
"right" parsing. From the backtraces I've seen it does (just from positions):
For example
(gdb) bt
#0 str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0) at str.h:44
#1 json_parse_digits (parser=<optimized out>) at json-parser.c:366
=> that is a digit
It does "- digit digit dot digit digit digit"
This perfectly matches the input value, but still the result stays empty:
(gdb) p (char*)(str->data)
$738 = 0x555555693110 ""
In comparison - when parsing the latter 12.456e9 which works I see two
odd things:
1. the value isn't cleared despite
str_truncate(parser->value, 0);
at the beginning of json_parse_number
2. the value (this time) is read exactly as I assumed
Breakpoint 17, json_parse_number (value_r=0x7fffffffe1a0,
parser=0x555555692ee0) at json-parser.c:394
394 str_truncate(parser->value, 0);
Breakpoint 18, str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0)
at str.h:44
44 buffer_append_c(str, chr);
(gdb) p (char*)(str->data)
$741 = 0x555555693110 "sub3"
^^ not cleared, still has "sub3" even later on
Breakpoint 18, str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0)
at str.h:44
44 buffer_append_c(str, chr);
(gdb) p (char*)(str->data)
$742 = 0x555555693110 "1ub3"
^^ reading left to right one char at a time "over the old value",
which didn't update the data.
So it seems in json_parse_number the ordering of
a) str_truncate(parser->value, 0);
b) the parsing itself
is messed up by optimization.
We already know from the above that reducing just this function to -O1 or less
avoids the issue. But what is it really - I don't know?
Maybe you have a better idea what is going on, the issue should be
reproducible when building
dovecot with the toolchain present on the latest Ubuntu being 21.04
(Hirsute) right now.
