The darwin makefile failed to pass the exported symbols list to the 
linker for fbintl. It was correct for the other libraries, and it looks 
like this was already fixed in v3.

I rebuilt locally with that fixed and my problem is solved.

I reported it as CORE-5868.

Right, it looks like fbintl is exporting operator delete() and operator 
delete[](), while libfbembed.dylib is not.

macOS has nm but it doesn't demangle. They have their own utility 
symbols(1).

Here's the whole list of symbols exported (flags including "EXT") from 
fbintl:

$ symbols Versions/A/fbintl| grep " EXT"
     0x16c0 (   0x130) LD_lookup_charset [FUNC, 
EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x1840 (   0x340) LD_lookup_texttype [FUNC, 
EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x1b80 (   0x2a0) LD_setup_attributes 
[FUNC, EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x1ef0 (    0x40) LD_version [FUNC, EXT, 
NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x00037b90 (    0x40) operator new(unsigned 
long) [FUNC, EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, 
FunctionStarts]
     0x00037c20 (    0x40) operator new[](unsigned 
long) [FUNC, EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, 
FunctionStarts]
     0x00037c60 (    0x40) operator delete(void*) 
[FUNC, EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x00037cf0 (    0x40) operator delete[](void*) 
[FUNC, EXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]

ie new, new[], delete and delete[] are exported.

Meanwhile libfbembed.dylib (ie the main Firebird binary) has these 
marked as PEXT = private-external.

$ symbols libfbembed.dylib | grep delete
.
     0x30451b70 (    0x40) operator delete(void*) 
[FUNC, PEXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]
     0x30451bb0 (    0x40) operator delete[](void*) 
[FUNC, PEXT, NameNList, MangledNameNList, Merged, NList, FunctionStarts]


Now to work out how to fix it.

   But still framework somehow calls internal delete. Did you check exported

nm (or whatever utility on MacOS can show public symbols of a library)?

   It looks like fbintl exports too much symbols including internal overloaded 
delete() 
operator. That triggers well known POSIX "symbol hell". The library must export 
only 
public functions.
   With GCC "-fvisibility=internal" can be used to suppress exporting of all 
symbols.

No, you'll receive an error that the character set has not been found. 
Falling back to another character set would be a great way to get 
logical or even physical corruption of data.

MacOS does not use a full icu implementation, so I doubt you are linking
against the system icu lib (/usr/lib/libicucore.dylib) unless of course
you are specifically requesting it.

To be honest I doubt you could build Firebird if you hadn't installed
a proper copy of icu from elsewhere.

Personally I expect the problem is elsewhere...
Does it crash on 10.13 or on earlier versions of the OS?
Have you analysed a crash dump?
What happens if you use isql on your embedded version of Firebird?
What version of Firebird are you using?



It only crashes on 10.13, not earlier versions. (I haven't tried the 
10.14 beta yet.)


I'm using Firebird 2.5.7. Looking at the traces again icu is probably 
not relevant at all actually. (The Firebird sources includes icu 30 in 
extern, so I did not have to install my own.)


Firebird works fine, but invoking the Mac file open dialog causes the 
application to crash, and the back trace always references fbintl.


We are using Firebird via Qt. Qt dynamically loads its Firebird driver 
(libqsqlibase.dylib) which is linked against the Firebird framework 
which is dynamically loading fbintl.


It looks like the custom memory allocator that fbintl is using is 
involved. Perhaps it didn't get initialized properly because of the 
dynamic loading of the Firebird framework etc?



Here are a couple of example traces.  As you can see neither of these 
involve our application code, they are pure macOS framework threads, 
except that fbintl is in the trace.

You lose almost all character set support, including UTF-8.



Right. Meaning ORDER BY character fields as well as functions like 
substring(), char_length()?


In the absence of fbintl does Firebird interpret those fields just as 
pure ASCII/Latin1 then?

RE: [firebird-support] running Firebird without fbintl

And a couple of final questions, what optimisation level are you using during 
the build?
32bit or 64bit Firebird?

MacOS does not use a full icu implementation, so I doubt you are linking
against the system icu lib (/usr/lib/libicucore.dylib) unless of course
you are specifically requesting it. 

To be honest I doubt you could build Firebird if you hadn't installed 
a proper copy of icu from elsewhere.

Personally I expect the problem is elsewhere... 
Does it crash on 10.13 or on earlier versions of the OS?
Have you analysed a crash dump?
What happens if you use isql on your embedded version of Firebird?
What version of Firebird are you using?

[firebird-support] running Firebird without fbintl

2018-07-05 Thread Hamish Moffatt ham...@risingsoftware.com [firebird-support]
We're linking embedded Firebird in to our application on macOS. Ever 
since macOS 10.13, we are getting crashes whenever our application 
invokes a file open dialog.

We have tracked this down to some sort of conflict with fbintl. If we 
remove fbintl from our application, everything works.

I suspect it is some sort of conflict between libicu linked into fbintl 
and libicu used in the macOS system frameworks (and I suspect a change 
to icu in macOS is why this only started with 10.13). I tried to rebuild 
Firebird with a later version but didn't get very far.


So, what is the impact of removing fbintl? What functionality do I lose?
