[gentoo-user] Warning when installing/updating clucene
Hi all, I thought I'd posted about this way back when I opened the bug at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3494798group_id=80013atid=558446 but didn't find anything in my local archives, so I guess I didn't... Does anyone use clucene? I'm planning on enabling FTS (full text search) on a new dovecot server, and was planning on using clucene, but would like to see about getting this warning taken care of (if it is indedd something I need to be worried about)... I only got one response on the bug tracker (a month after my original report, and that only after I pinged for a reply) saying they weren't doing much work on it at the moment and that they'd look into it in a few days, then nothing - and that was back in March. Here is the warning: QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures. /var/tmp/portage/dev-cpp/clucene-2.3.3.4-r4/work/clucene-core-2.3.3.4/src/core/CLucene/index/DocumentsWriter.cpp:129:33: warning: passing NULL to non-pointer argument 2 of ‘void* memset(void*, int, size_t)’ Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. Homepage:http://clucene.sourceforge.net/ I'm assuming everyone gets this warning, so am wondering what it means, and whether or not I should even bother with clucene. Lucene++ appears to possibly be the new lucene implementation, but it is yuck java based...

Never mind, just got a reply from the dev that he had fixed it and the next update would contain the fix... I'm still curious if I should not go down that road and use something else for FTS...

I was just looking at it this morning as a possible basis for a solution to a problem of my own[1], since strigi uses it. [1] http://mmol-6453.livejournal.com/279757.html -- :wq

I was just looking at it this morning as a possible basis for a solution to a problem of my own[1], since strigi uses it. Thanks Michael... Just to wrap up this thread, in case anyone is interested, because Timo (dovecot author) had replied in a similar thread on the dc list that he thought there was talk of merging clucene and lucene++, I queried the clucene author after he replied he had fixed this issue, and here is his reply: More or less it's true. About a year ago we started to make Lucene++ to the new CLucene version, as Lucene++ (also written in C++) is a port of a newer Apache Lucene version (written in Java) as the one CLucene is a port of. But we did not want to simply merge them, but to adapt Lucene++ to the design principles of CLucene. E.g., Lucene++ makes heavy use of shared pointers. And in CLucene we wanted to reduce this usage in favor of performance. But this not finished and I cannot say when it will finished. Nevertheless, the new version of CLucene (if any) will be also C++ and not Java. Best regards, Veit
