Ruby extension fails to build with Ruby 1.9.1
---------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-664
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-664
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Library (Ruby)
Affects Versions: 0.2
Environment: OS: archlinux
Ruby: ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [x86_64-linux]
Reporter: Byron Clark
The have_func('strlcpy', 'string.h') call in lib/rb/ext/extconf.rb is broken in
Ruby 1.9.1. The check always succeeds because Ruby now includes strlcpy in
/usr/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby/missing.h as long as HAVE_STRLCPY is undefined and
the Ruby headers are always included by have_func. The call in extconf.rb
finds the function and sets the HAVE_STRLCPY macro for the Makefile.
/lib/rb/ext/struct.c then fails to build because neither the included strlcpy
or the strlcpy provided by Ruby are used when HAVE_STRLCPY is set.
Removing the have_func line from lib/rb/ext/extconf.rb and the definition of
strlcpy in lib/rb/ext/struct.c fixes the build.
