The group_name grammar rule was incorrectly defined as returning a type<val> which is an int. It actually returns a type<name> which is a char *.
I believe this was also causing cgrulesengd to crash at startup on some distros, including Ubuntu. On newer versions of Bison, this bug led to the following warnings during compilation: parse.y: In function ‘yyparse’: parse.y:106:56: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘cgroup_config_insert_cgroup’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 106 | $$ = cgroup_config_insert_cgroup($2); | ^ | | | int In file included from parse.y:21: ./libcgroup-internal.h:231:39: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘int’ 231 | int cgroup_config_insert_cgroup(char *cg_name); | ~~~~~~^~~~~~~ parse.y:125:15: warning: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘char *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 125 | $$ = $1; | ^ parse.y:129:15: warning: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘char *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 129 | $$ = $1; | ^ parse.y: In function ‘yyparse’: parse.y:106:56: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘cgroup_config_insert_cgroup’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 106 | $$ = cgroup_config_insert_cgroup($2); | ^ | | | int In file included from parse.y:21: ./libcgroup-internal.h:231:39: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘int’ 231 | int cgroup_config_insert_cgroup(char *cg_name); | ~~~~~~^~~~~~~ parse.y:125:15: warning: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘char *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 125 | $$ = $1; | ^ parse.y:129:15: warning: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘char *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 129 | $$ = $1; | ^ Signed-off-by: Tom Hromatka <tom.hroma...@oracle.com> --- src/parse.y | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/parse.y b/src/parse.y index 98f7699d2c00..e67ad54e6f34 100644 --- a/src/parse.y +++ b/src/parse.y @@ -45,9 +45,9 @@ int yywrap(void) int val; struct cgroup_dictionary *values; } -%type <name> ID DEFAULT +%type <name> ID DEFAULT group_name %type <val> mountvalue_conf mount task_namevalue_conf admin_namevalue_conf -%type <val> admin_conf task_conf task_or_admin group_conf group start group_name +%type <val> admin_conf task_conf task_or_admin group_conf group start %type <val> namespace namespace_conf default default_conf %type <values> namevalue_conf %type <val> template template_conf -- 1.8.3.1 _______________________________________________ Libcg-devel mailing list Libcg-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libcg-devel
