Before dcde88c3, the fullpath was set including the /. Mirar added stripping of the initial / to fix a chroot bug, which presumably means that he wanted to change the third parameter to combine_path(), not the value stored in stat->fullpath (which is set from the same local variable "full"). So putting back the / should restore compatibility with how it used to (and was supposed to) work before May 2001.

Hmm. I doubt I can just make fullpath contain the leading / because of compat etc, and the Filesystem.System()->cd() cannot just add it either. Any suggestions?

Filesystem.System: get_dir and get_stat behave differently?
by Bill Welliver 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

I noticed that if I have a Filesystem.System object and I chroot(), calling get_dir() with an absolute path will break out of the chroot. This doesn't happen with get_stat(), and it seems like it might be a bug. For example: Filesystem.System("/etc")->chroot("/etc")->get_dir("/") returns a list of items in the system root (/). If I do the same thing but replace the get_dir with get_stat(), I get a list of stat objects for /etc. The latter (get_stat) behavior seems correct to me. Can anyone confirm that the current behavior is actually correct? If not, I'll look into fixing it. Best, Bill

Failed test on 7.8.695
by Bill Welliver 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I'm getting a test failure on the latest 7.8 build, and it looks like it exists to check a fix from last week. Please have a look and let me know if I should hold off on doing a new build for a fix. Thanks! Bill testsuite:2: syntax error, unexpected TOK_CONSTANT /Users/hww3/pike-git/src/testsuite.in:544: Test 138 (shift 0) failed. 1: mixed a() { return 2: constant foo = 5; 3: 4: // Test that it survives a F_ARG_LIST with CAR == CDR. 5: return foo%foo; 6: ; } 7: mixed b() { return 0; } 8:

proposed backport from 7.9 to 7.8
by Bill Welliver 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

I've made a number of commits to 7.9 surrounding the external module support tools (monger and pmar_install) that I'd like to include in the next 7.8 release. Also, I'd like to backport the fixes and additions to spawn_pike and the new get_user/get_home functions (but not FreeConsole and friends) in System as well. The code is fairly well isolated and don't think there will be any downside. Considering the utility of the functionality and that 7.9 is likely to be in development for the foreseeable future, I think it's worth doing. Does anyone have any objection? Bill
