[gentoo-dev] new warnings to catch from gcc in portage
the newer fortify/security work in gcc provides some nice checks which portage doesnt currently flag. those are: : warning: array subscript is below array bounds$ : warning: array subscript is above array bounds$ : warning: attempt to free a non-heap object : warning: .* called with .*bigger.* than .* destination buffer$ : warning: call to .* will always overflow destination buffer$ this should catch the kind of checks where people check for pointer math overflow but dont realize that gcc optimizes it away: : warning: assuming pointer wraparound does not occur when comparing these tend to be typos in code: : warning: hex escape sequence out of range$ : warning: [^ ]*-hand operand of comma .*has no effect$ these too are typos/thinkos involving NULL instead of a value of 0, or misordering of arguments: : warning: converting to non-pointer type .* from NULL : warning: NULL used in arithmetic$ : warning: passing NULL to non-pointer argument these tend to be thinkos which result in incorrect behavior: : warning: the address of [^ ]* will always evaluate as : warning: the address of [^ ]* will never be NULL think char foo[1234] and later doing if (foo) ... i cant see this being valid: : warning: too few arguments for format or trying to return addresses to function locals: : warning: reference to local variable .* returned : warning: returning reference to temporary : warning: function returns address of local variable -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-dev] New global USE flag: introspection
Hi folks, I'd like to propose a new global USE-flag: introspection. The purpose of the flag is to enable the building of GIR for the package using dev-libs/gobject-introspection. gobject-introspection is going to be quite important in upcoming GNOME releases, allowing for the automated generation of bindings for several languages. We already have 13 packages using this flag, with several more to come. The current description being used in packages' metadata.xml sucks - I'll put something more descriptive in the final flag. Any objections? I'll wait till Wed (June 23rd) before adding this if there aren't any. Cheers! -- Arun Raghavan http://arunraghavan.net/ (Ford_Prefect | Gentoo) (arunsr | GNOME)

Why mess with what gcc does with the code for all versions of python if it works for x version of python? And only for som warnings? I could have understand a bit more if it was Errors. Also why not even a comment saying? Currently as one of the users of hardened and helping Zorry out with the hardened toolchain I have seen many packages filter flags like -fPIE and -fstack-protector without a comment on why, where and how it broke, and noone remeber why. New versions comes of software and if you do not know why it broke with a cflag you cannot test if the breakage is still there. This line of code is fine and all that until you forget why you added that flag or you retire and a later maintainer of the package does not dare to touch the flag since they do not know why it was added and what will break if the remove that line of ebuild code.

Well, there's nothing else in this namespace (i.e., amongst use-flags) which uses this word, and I don't see anything else that would want to use it in-tree. So, I don't see what the problem is with us taking over it :) As for confusions w.r.t. name, the use-flag descriptions exist precisely to clarify that. I personally wouldn't assume a use-flag's intention before seeing it's corresponding description. Also note that perl/ruby/python/java/javascript etc bindings will be/are using gobject-introspection[1], so this particular usage of the term will become very prevalent in the near future. 1. http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/Users -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
Re: [gentoo-dev] Tone in Gentoo
On 06/19/2010 03:10 PM, Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto wrote: I can assure you that if someone goes to #gentoo-forums and tries to tell the forums team what tone should be used in that channel, we'll kindly ask the person to stop or to leave. This is one of the public and exposed channels and thus we have a tone with that in mind, but we're not going to set our tone according to the demands of a developer that is not even part of the team. I was not suggesting that tone in Gentoo was up to the discretion of any individual developer - neither myself, nor you, nor the head of infra/forums/etc. The tone in Gentoo is up to Gentoo. Fortunately we have a forum for deciding what Gentoo wants - we elect them annually. What would grant any non-member of a team the right to demand how the members of the team should act amongst themselves in their private room? Simple - the room belongs to Gentoo as a whole. You're certainly free not to listen to me, but I and others are free to point out that this isn't good for Gentoo. I certainly wouldn't take it upon myself to enforce the CofC, but I certainly would urge those responsible for governing the distro to do so. About the legal right, that isn't true. There are a few misconceptions in your statement. Even though the Foundation is the body which holds the Gentoo brand, trademarks and logo, it's not the Foundation that sets the rules for joining and be part of the Gentoo Developers Community. Furthermore, being a Gentoo developer doesn't mean you can join any team you want or that you have a right to go to any #gentoo-* channel. In case you have any doubt, I can give you a list of quite a few channels most developers don't have access to. Your statement is partially correct - obviously if I am a stockholder in Google I can't choose to just waltz onto the corporate campus and go around as I please, merely by virtue of being a shareholder. However, a shareholder of Google certainly is able to speak out about actions within the company that they feel damage it, and their elected representatives (the board) can give power to anybody (including themselves) to waltz around and put things in order. This starts with their authority to hire and fire the CEO at whim. Ultimately, if anything contains the name Gentoo and represents itself as being associated with a linux distribution, then it is using a trademark owned by the Gentoo Foundation. In the end, any use of Gentoo trademarks is completely at the discretion of the Foundation. If you insist, to address the question that access lists for #gentoo-* channels can be set by Freenode (our main IRC network), you should know that the only people Freenode will listen to regarding that are the members of the Freenode Gentoo Group Contacts. The people in that group were not chosen by the Foundation nor do they respond to it. Well, this is getting a bit silly, but they'd certainly answer to a cease and desist, or those hosting their servers certainly would. It would obviously never come to that. Go ahead and try to register #microsoft-press-releases and see if being named the official contact gets you anywhere. Also, please never forget that being part of Gentoo is a privilege and not a right. On that we certainly agree. It really wasn't my intention to suggest that somehow anybody was personally beholden to me. I really am just stating my opinion, as are you. As an example, even though I use my gentoo cloak online, you don't have any right to impose a behaviour into me in my private channel. Sure, I cannot, personally. However, Gentoo certainly can. At the very least I'd expect devs to generally conduct themselves in a manner where such things aren't necessary to even bring up. We have a loosely-knit community that is able to provide a reasonable product Gentoo Linux. Let's try to avoid killing it by wanting to impose a certain mentality or behaviour into others and let's try to respect each other and learn to live in a community. Well, the whole principle of the CofC is that it imposes behaviors on those who wish to use Gentoo media, or be Gentoo staff. That said, I really don't suggest that anybody need be heavy-handed. Nor do I suggest that my personal opinion should be the one that rules Gentoo (I would say the same regarding your opinion as well). In the end that's all we're doing - you say that infra decides what happens on #gentoo-infra, and I say that they don't (well, not ultimately - certainly I'd suggest that the trustees/council should of course delegate channel moderation to the team that uses the channel, and only intervene if necessary). What I would say is that I encourage those who are in the trustees and council to recognize the importance of this issue, and I ask that they consider that tone really does matter. We elect these bodies to speak for Gentoo, and I think that this is an issue where Gentoo could stand to be heard.

ChangeLog entries are not required for trivial changes. A trivial change is fixing a typo, or a manifest problem, a missing quotation mark, etc. Anything else is not trivial. Anything that changes how an ebuild functions, what it does, or the installed files (and/or their contents) is NOT a trivial change. This commit only removed some compiler warnings. mucking with CFLAGS without documentation is wrong. compiler warnings come and go, so a flag that was relevant one day could be completely extraneous the next. however, especially with strict aliasing, you arent just fixing warnings, you're changing optimization behavior of gcc to workaround broken C code. this obviously does not fall anywhere near the trivial mark. i see you still havent fixed this, so get on it already. a bug needs to be opened somewhere to get the package properly *fixed* This problem is probably caused by bugs in Python 2, which have been fixed in Python 3. the new information you've provided here only reinforces the fact the current code is wrong. properly document the append-flags and properly restrict it to when python-2 is being used. considering python-2 is going to be in our lives for a while, how hard is it to backport the changes in question to the headers ? presumably it's struct/union/cast shuffling in the headers. This is upstream python bug 969718 offhand; basically if cflags exists for distutils consumers, base cflags don't make it fully through- meaning no -fno-strict-aliasing as is generally needed for building python extensions. As for py3k, looks of it py3.1 still suffers it. Either way, this is the wrong thing to fix- python's distutils needs fixing, not consumers. In snakeoil, we detect and fix it on the fly to provide a fixed version of distutils, but obviously not many pkgs consume that... ~harring pgppdSJIknTLf.pgp Description: PGP signature

If this thread started out at some point as being constructive, it's certainly stopped being so now. Please kill this, take some cool-off time, and come back if there is something *constructive* to be said. -- Arun Raghavan http://arunraghavan.net/ (Ford_Prefect | Gentoo) (arunsr | GNOME)
Re: [gentoo-dev] New global USE flag: introspection

I'll wait till Wed (June 23rd) before adding this if there aren't any. Do we really want it to be a USE flag ? I would force it on always for everyone. Due to the direction in which GNOME is heading, it will be required by the core desktop anyway. In addition to what Nirbheek pointed out, I think a USE flag would be useful for embedded setups where you might only want introspection for a subset of libraries. I do agree with you about it being part of the core desktop and required by most users, so it will be enabled by default for all ebuilds.
