ID: 42416 User updated by: baco at infomaniak dot ch Reported By: baco at infomaniak dot ch Status: Wont fix Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.4.7 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment:
Yes, our customers are using both freetype 1.x and 2.x calls. We can't stop support old calls. If you disable both "--with-ttf" and "--enable-gd-native-ttf" apache2 are also locked by calling imagefttext() when imagecreate() is used. We are a web hosting provider and some of our customers are using PHP scripts who are not (yet) compatible with PHP 5 so we need to provide both PHP5 or PHP4 web servers until the end of this year. Apache2 MPM use less memory. We want to use it on all PHP5 and PHP4 servers to handle more simultaneous web connections. For info, the bug is not present when tpixels/TrueColor is used in gdImageCreate another patch (for testing purpose only) make my sample script avoid locking Apache2 but the bug is related to proper mutex in font calls so the best patch is my previous unix_gd_mutex.patch. --- ext/gd/libgd/gd.c 2007-04-14 19:38:38.000000000 +0200 +++ ext/gd/libgd/gd.c 2007-08-27 11:46:21.648861476 +0200 @@ -120,12 +120,13 @@ gdImagePtr gdImageCreate (int sx, int sy) { + int x, y, white; int i; gdImagePtr im; im = (gdImage *) gdMalloc(sizeof(gdImage)); memset(im, 0, sizeof(gdImage)); /* Row-major ever since gd 1.3 */ - im->pixels = (unsigned char **) safe_emalloc(sizeof(unsigned char *), sy, 0); + im->tpixels = (int **) safe_emalloc(sizeof(int *), sy, 0); im->AA_opacity = (unsigned char **) safe_emalloc(sizeof(unsigned char *), sy, 0); im->polyInts = 0; im->polyAllocated = 0; @@ -134,29 +135,27 @@ im->style = 0; for (i = 0; i < sy; i++) { /* Row-major ever since gd 1.3 */ - im->pixels[i] = (unsigned char *) gdCalloc(sx, sizeof(unsigned char)); + im->tpixels[i] = (int *) gdCalloc(sx, sizeof(int)); im->AA_opacity[i] = (unsigned char *) gdCalloc(sx, sizeof(unsigned char)); } im->sx = sx; im->sy = sy; - im->colorsTotal = 0; im->transparent = (-1); im->interlace = 0; im->thick = 1; im->AA = 0; im->AA_polygon = 0; - for (i = 0; i < gdMaxColors; i++) { - im->open[i] = 1; - im->red[i] = 0; - im->green[i] = 0; - im->blue[i] = 0; - } - im->trueColor = 0; - im->tpixels = 0; + im->trueColor = 1; im->cx1 = 0; im->cy1 = 0; im->cx2 = im->sx - 1; im->cy2 = im->sy - 1; + white = gdImageColorAllocate (im, 255, 255, 255); + for (x = 0; x < sx; x++) { + for (y = 0; y < sy; y++) { + gdImageSetPixel(im, x, y, white); + } + } return im; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-27 16:52:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "--with-ttf --enable-gd-native-ttf " "Are you sure you need freetype support?" I meant: do you really need freetype 1.x support? About your patch, as I said the TS fix will not be back ported to 4.x There is many other issues to be fixed in php4 to get somehow thread safe. I'll ask our release master about this patch but you should really think about upgrading to php5. Using php4 with apache2 (in threaded mode) is really not a good idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-27 12:33:15] baco at infomaniak dot ch "The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only." So you need to supported PHP 4 users community until the end of this year right ? I have fixed this bug by backporting mutex changes in gd from 5.2.3 to 4.4.7. No more Apache2 locks.
