[dev] program message: general input/output error
Greetings, When I try to open a MSWord document that I have received, my non-product build of m94 presents a dialog box saying General Error. General input/output error. and it does not open the document. Hacking around with gdb, I see the program trying to open file:///home/terry/OOo_hacking/localbuild/OpenOffice/installed/install/en-US/openoffice.org/basis3.4/program/libraries/libmswordli.so which the program resolves as /home/terry/OOo_hacking/localbuild/OpenOffice/installed/install/en-US/openoffice.org/basis3.4/program/libraries/libmswordli.so which I lack. Indeed, I lack a file with that basename anywhere within localbuild/. Is there anything obvious that I could have done wrong in my configuration, build, or installation to cause this error? My build script issues export LOCALINSTALLDIR=/home/terry/OOo_hacking/localbuild export PKGFORMAT=installed before calling dmake, and I shall append a copy of my call to configure. Among the 244 hits (sheesh!) returned from a bug search for general input/output error, I see issue 110030 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=110030. This differs from my situation in that its attached document is a .docx while my document is a .doc. However, I get very similar backtraces from trying to open the two files. Some questions arise. (Yes, I *do* have too much time on my hands. grin /) (*) If the message points to a program problem rather than my own error, is issue 110030 the right place for me add a comment about the missing file? (*) The message general input/output error is unhelpfully, well, general. Would it be a good idea (and feasible?) to extend the error message in some way? (*) Would it be a good idea to make some calling functions raise assertions upon failure? What macros would be appropriate? The end result after the error message often seems to be the non-performance of what the user intended to do. This is more serious than the situations in which I have seen many assertions raised.

[dev] importing a .docx, assertions raised
Purely as procrastination, I downloaded a .docx file and tried to open it in my non-product build of OOo. Now, I understand that each raised assertion should be filed as an issue, but nine distinct assertions (some repeated lotsa times) seems like a bit of a muchness. Will someone here please tell me to go ahead? I presume that I should report the ultimate crash of OOo anyway, presuming that it happens again. A couple of subordinate questions ... (*) Do you know of an on-line validator for .docx files? I have found only Windows-based validators. (*) Sometimes I generate a backtrace of a raised assertion that I am reporting. Is this helpful? As I have debugging symbols and am running on a system less powerful than the documented minimum, it can take quite a while to generate the backtrace.

(2) After I do gdb next, so that line 173 is ready for execution, gdb shows _bRetrieveData has value 1. (3) If I set a breakpoint by function name on connectivity::OSkipDeletedSet::moveAboslute, gdb reports the breakpoint set on line 173.

[dev] How to run quickstarter?
Greetings, I am running a somewhat hacked non-product build of DEV300_m76 without desktop integration (i.e., built with PKGFORMAT=installed) on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). In aid of issue 110623 framework: AS/400 ... Error: ASSERT: TransactionManager... Owner instance already closed. http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=110623, I would like to run the quickstarter. In tools options openoffice.org memory openoffice.org quickstarter, enable systray quickstarter is checked, but this seems not to do the job. Meanwhile, issue 108846 point b) sfx2: gtk quick starter is still a bit sick http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108846 suggests that command line option -quickstart is not going to work for a while. I presume that that my lack of Desktop integration is implicated in the question, but my day-to-day work remains dependent on the version of OpenOpen office delivered with the distribution.

Let's see.. operators_new_delete.cxx is in sal/cpprt/, the

SOLARIS we have LIB1ARCHIV containing $(TARGET), so the resulting
archive is libsalcpprt.a, which then per solenv/inc/$INPATH.mk and
solenv/inc/tg_app.mk is linked to applications.
I had found libsalcpprt.a using nm and grep. Silly me, I did not look

Linkage dependencies are not tracked, a long outstanding deficiency..
a (quite) safe bet is to
rm */$INPATH/{lib,bin}/*
Where INPATH is unxlngi6 for me, right?
I dunno how I screwed up, but I ended up unable to build. I now have
started over from the tarfiles and will carry on from there.
and build all. Given that apparently only applications are affected
here, a rm */$INPATH/bin/* might do as well.
(b) A full build will incorporate my changes. It should not be long
until _m76.
The assertion failures are so distracting that I am considering
removing the source line altogether from _m76 when it comes out.
Strong veto. This is the only safe mechanism to detect these errors,
which are real errors as the alloc/free procedures differ between array
and non-array allocations.
After all, it seems that most people do not even try to use a
non-production build.
IIRC the assertion is thrown only in a unxlng* non-product build, most
developers using non-product builds unfortunately do this on Windows,
developers building their own on Linux unfortunately don't use
non-products because it has to be explicitly enabled during configure
(to be changed?).
A website page about building OOo says that non-product builds are
used almost exclusively within Sun. For a long time, I incorrectly
took that to be a warning that they are hard to accomplish rather than
merely a description of a regrettable state of affairs. Perhaps we do
not want to encourage a non-product build for a newcomer's very first
attempt, but I could have been finding these assertions long ago.
Would a change to the website be in order?
( Heh, I had a reason for trying a non-product build. Maybe I will
eventually get around to dealing with that. Maybe. )
So the set of developers actually using Linux
non-products is quite small.
If I had hope of being able to track down more causes, that would
change my attitude.
Please change your attitude nevertheless ;-)
Consider it changed. So long as I am making a positive contribution.
( I think, though, that I am giving up on trying to use a non-product
build when I actually want to get work done grin /. )
It seems you have hit an area that introduced these errors quite
recently. I usually work with non-products and didn't encounter any up
to m73 or so, working mainly within in Calc though.
I wandered into Base. On a hug-a-bug day over there, issue 94543
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94543 caught my
attention, and the rest follows from that. Some of it follows at
quite some distance.
Part of that following at a distance included figuring out how to use
detached debugging symbols to get a more informative backtrace the
first time an assertion comes up. I start to feel conspicuous about
the number of issues I have been submitting.
Thank you for the help.

Sometimes the best to do some full string search as you can find useful

Me too. I assume (uh-oh!) that they are part of of the binfilter
download, which I did not use, and they can therefore not be part of my

[dev] testing fix of issue 109146
Greetings,
In a comment to his change fixing issue 109146
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=109146,
Stephan Bergmann commented
(but I must confess I have no idea how to trigger the code in
a running OOo, to verify that the assertion no longer wrongly
fires)
As it happens, my combination of compiler and configuration
options and I know no what else result in literal character
strings being stored at addresses according to where the string
is first encountered in the file. Within DEV300_m71, I imported
inettype.cxx after S.B.'s subsequent change ( the relevant code
reads ...
#if defined DBG_UTIL
for (sal_Size i = 0; i nSize - 1; ++i)
DBG_ASSERT(
rtl_str_compare(
pMap[i].m_pTypeName, pMap[i + 1].m_pTypeName) 0,
seekEntry(): Bad map);
#endif
), and the assertion did not fire. I verified the descending
addresses of m_pTypeName with a breakpoint at inettype.cxx:810,
and saw ...
(gdb) p pMap[61]
$1 = {m_pTypeName = 0xb754d6bd tiff, m_eTypeID = CONTENT_TYPE_IMAGE_TIFF,
m_pExtension = 0xb754d6bc }
(gdb) p pMap[62]
$2 = {m_pTypeName = 0xb754d54f txt, m_eTypeID = CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT_PLAIN,
m_pExtension = 0xb754d6bc }
Just for good measure, the following code does (rightly!) make
the assertion fire.
int tje_20100316() {
//
// Make assertion in seekEntry fire for bad sequence in the
// array to be searched.
//
MediaTypeEntry const mteBad[] =
{
{ txt, CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT_PLAIN, },
{ tiff, CONTENT_TYPE_IMAGE_TIFF, },
};
UniStringextn = UniString::CreateFromAscii( txt );
MediaTypeEntry const *pEntry =
seekEntry( extn, mteBad, sizeof( mteBad ) / sizeof( mteBad[ 0 ] ) );
return 0;
} // tje_20100316
If any of this information is worth recording in the issue, I can
do that.
Hope this helps.
Terry.

[dev] inettype.cxx: suspected problem
Greetings, File svl/source/misc/inettype.cxx defines function seekEntry, which does a binary search on an array of MediaTypeEntry passed as its second argument. In a non-production build, it verifies that the passed array is in sequence by (since cws sb121) value of m_pTypeName. I take this sequence verification to be a protection against an editing error in the maintenance of the arrays of constants defined in the file. If I am reading the code correctly, the function uses its static bool bChecked to limit the sequence verification to the first time it is called. However, the verification would seem to be good for all of the arrays of constants. seekEntry is called with three different arrays to search (aStaticTypeNameMap, aStaticExtensionMap, aStaticPresentationMap). Is this a problem? Is it worth fixing? Cheers, Terry. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

I am looking at issue 109146 Assertion: Error: seekEntry() Bad map ...
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=109146. It just
happens to be the first assertion that I saw triggered in my first
non-product build.
This issue is probably a bad choice to write a test for (at least a bad
choice for starters), for at least two reasons:
Just my luck to pick an odball. whineMummy, the computer is picking
on me./whine
The assertion itself is so easy to fix, that I figured I should do more.
I fear now that I am am using more of your time than the problem is
worth. Should I move on to something else?
- Checking that an assertion fires is not easy. (It will become easier
when http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=109142 Let
assertions abort is fixed, if you assume that observing an abort
implies a fired assertion.)
Er, yes. I was not even going to think about this until I had seen the
assertion fire on the screen. And there is lots I have to do before
that happens. Conspicuously, the test case has to load the library with
the assertion and I-know-not-how-much-more beside.
Meanwhile, the application defines MediaTypeEntry at file scope. So,
there is no #include file to provide the definition. I may end up
having to learn more than I want to know about the build system.
And these are just the issues that come to mind before I try to do
anything.
- The DBG_ASSERT expression in the issue is wrong, whether or not it
fires depends on factors outside the C++ standard. It is generally not
possible to write standard C++ code that reliably causes the assertion
to fire or not to fire. (As you noted already. However, note that this
is not about stack variables, but about string literals in a library's
(read-only) data segment.)
I was thinking of provoking the incorrect assertion by calling
seekEntry() with a second parameter set up by something like ...
MediaTypeEntry badMte[ 2 ] =
{ { , 0, },
{ , 0, }
};
char str1[ 6 ],
str2[ 6 ];
if( str1 str2 ) {
strcpy( str2, alpha ); badMte[ 0 ].m_pTypeName = str2;
strcpy( str1, bravo ); badMte[ 1 ].m_pTypeName = str1;
} else {
strcpy( str1, alpha ); badMte[ 0 ].m_pTypeName = str1;
strcpy( str2, bravo ); badMte[ 1 ].m_pTypeName = str2;
}
I forget whether the comparison above is undefined or
implementation-defined according to the standard. This code is not even
compiled, let alone tested, but still it might succeed in provoking the
assertion on quite a few platforms.
The addresses of literal strings are a bit different in that we know
that some platforms use different placement strategies. For all I know,
different compiler options could change placement of literals.
Of course, the corrected assertion will take this in stride.
That same test will have to cast away constness of
MediaTypeEntry::m_pTypeName, and that is a bad thing to do. But I am
*trying* to screw things up. Does that give me a pass?
Why would you need to cast away constness?
Because my crossed eyes saw const in the wrong place when I was
reading the definition of MediaTypeEntry. Does that cut it as an
excuse?

Terry.

It just happens to be the first assertion that I saw triggered in my first non-product build. The failing assertion is in a function defined outside of any class, but the cppunit tutorials I have found all have object-oriented examples. I'll see how I get along. One good test is to make the unchanged assertion fire, right? To accomplish this under different compilers, I think the test program is going to compare the addresses of independent variables, and that gives results which are not defined by the C++ standard. (Well, that's if my very old memory is correct.) Anyway, before this is done, I shall need help to find a compiler which sends the test program down the other path by allocating stack variables in the other order. That same test will have to cast away constness of MediaTypeEntry::m_pTypeName, and that is a bad thing to do. But I am *trying* to screw things up. Does that give me a pass?

On Thu, 2010-02-11 at 10:16 +0100, Stephan Bergmann wrote: Unfortunately running a non-pro OOo results in many assertions popping up. I was just recently frustrated by that once again, and decided (for myself, at least) we should finally address that problem by letting those assertions abort, so just now filed http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=109142. And, the prevalent notion that those assertions are not fixed, anyway, has let many to no longer bother about them, especially not filing issues for them. This would change when assertions abort, so that P1 reports would be filed (and fixed!) for them. On the one hand, the current state of affairs has the virtue of letting a hacker continue on toward the problem he is looking for. (I did have a purpose. I will someday remember what it was. grin /) A hard abort, on the other hand, might have provoked me either to fix the assertion or to give up trying to use a non-pro build. Would it be feasible and useful to encourage the use of non-pro builds? Back when I first tried to build OOo, something -- perhaps it was a warning like Currently, Non-Product Builds are probably rarely used outside the Hamburg development team in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Non_Product_Build -- gave me the impression that non-pro builds are not something that a newbie should use. Now, I see that it is really easy to create a non-pro build. It remains to be seen whether it gets me any forwarder. FWIW, here is how I came to try a non-pro build. First, I managed a couple of times to send DEV300_m70 into an infinite loop, but I had no idea what I had done to make the program so peeved with me. It would be good to have a trace of the inputs to the program. For all I know, the non-pro build may allow that, although I have not found the facility. Anyway, I guessed it would be easier to try a non-pro build than to explore testautomation. Secondly, I wondered whether my loop was the same as issue 108055 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108055. For reasons which I still do not understand, my breakpoints in gdb did not catch the creation of some objects. From somewhere--but I cannot find it now--I have acquired the notion that a non-pro build will let me track object creation and deletion. I have yet search for that facility, and I do not know whether it will get me any forwarder. Please forgive me for rambling on, and thank you for your patience.

[dev] assertion failure
Greetings, I have just completed a non-product build of DEV300_m71, my first ever non-product build. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Non_Product_Build tells me that an assertion failure is considered to be a bug and should be reported.

The slow answer is the proper fix is in workspace hunspellexternal, see issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87604 which has an earlier patch that might also work for you. I shall try that next time I unpack the source.

[dev] difficult access debugging symbols
Greetings,
I have built OOH680_m10 on ubuntu-Gutsy (7.10). Somewhere between
creation of libraries in the solver and installing from the rpm's, I
lose debugging symbols.
I configured with
--enable-symbols
and built with
dmake debug=true
The build process produces lines ...
checking whether to strip the solver or not checking whether to
enable native CUPS support... yes
(yes that is one line), and ...
The variable DISABLE_STRIP is set to: TRUE
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
and then only 17 lines apart close to the end of the build ...
make_installer.pl, version 1.0
Stripping files
so I suspect that the loss occurs before the .rpm files are created.
After another configure with --disable-strip-solver, another dmake
debug=true recreated the .rpm files, but they are only very slightly
bigger than before and still the installed files lack debugging
symbols.
I can access the debugging symbols by linking from my installed
directory back to the files built in the solver. Is there a more
straight-forward way?
Here are some details ...
The earlier configure command reads, with line-breaks added here for
readability ...
./configure_fudge
--disable-mozilla --with-stdlibs --with-system-zlib
--with-system-openssl --with-system-jpeg --with-system-expat
--with-system-freetype --with-system-libwpd --with-system-python
--with-system-db --with-system-hsqldb --with-system-beanshell
--with-system-sml-apis --with-system-xerces --with-system-xalan
--with-system-libxslt --with-system-odbc-headers
--with-system-sane-header --with-system-xrender-headers
--with-system-curl --with-system-boost --with-system-vigra
--with-system-neon --with-system-hunspell --with-system-odbc
--with-system-sane-header --disable-pasf --without-fonts
--without-dict --disable-odk --without-myspell-dicts
--with-package-format=rpm --enable-symbols
I hacked configure_fudge from configure to accept hsqldb 1.8.0.8
instead of hsqldb 1.8.0.9 which the distributed configure requires.
(Well, I guess that in itself is grounds for another question soon.)
I still have output from the build, but it is really big. The
installation script is homebrewed (before I learned about
unxlngi6.pro/bin/userscripts/install). The central part, following
the pattern of OpenOffice.org 2.0 Setup Guide, page 39, is ...
rpm --install \
--dbpath $RPMDB \
--nodeps \
--prefix $DESTDIR \
~/OOo_hacking/${WHAT}/instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/rpm/install/e
n-US/RPMS/*.rpm
I must presume that I am missing something really obvious. Thank you
for your attention.
Terry.
