FB 3 embedded tries to load wrong ICU DLLs (from third-party folders) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-4583 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4583 Project: Firebird Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0 Beta 1 Reporter: Nick Dee ICU dlls deployed with fb 3 embeded is: icudt52.dll icuin52.dll icuuc52.dll But, FB tries to load icuuc519.dll icuuc518.dll icuuc517.dll icuuc516.dll icuuc515.dll icuuc514.dll icuuc513.dll icuuc512.dll icuuc511.dll icuuc510.dll icuuc59.dll icuuc58.dll icuuc57.dll icuuc56.dll icuuc55.dll icuuc54.dll icuuc53.dll And it tries to load it from all folders defined in PATH. What was happen if some third-party tool will write to PATH some folder with some of this ICU-dlls? May it be that some of this third-party icu will be somehow incompatibe with my database? For example: 1.user installs tool from SomeCompany, which bundled with custom-builded icuuc519.* (SomeCompany builds they own icu-dlls, as FB does). And this program adds self to PATH (they really need that) 2.user intalls our program "A" with FB embedded 3.user successfully works with our program "A" (using SomeCompany's icuuc519.*, as side-effect (which is not predicted by us, as developers of "A")) 4.user uninstalls tool from SomeCompany 5.user now can't work with our program A, because now FB loads icuuc52.*, and it is incompatible with custom-build icuuc519.dll from SomeCompany. May we be shure, that SomeCompany build their icuuc519.* without errors? :) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
