Hi Ingo,

I'm sorry for the delay.  I started looking into it, but then I was
distracted by something and forgot to reply, please apologies.

thanks for figuring this out!  the mkstemp actually passes with a lower
NTEMPFILES, but it's pointless anyway as all it does is testing our
mkostemp(3), but for the buildinfo test I was a bit clueless (I haven't
throwed at it too much time neither to be honest)

I agree on everything.  It all started with a small library to allow a
common lisp extension for x11/stumpwm to work, but more I look into the
project itself the less I want to have it on my machine.  I'm sorry for
wasting your time too on this.

(thanks for remembering me of the ac_cv_* variables.  I always forget

I agree on everything :)

I'll make sure to report upstream every issue mentioned and work with
them until they're resolved, but for the port itself I'm less and less
sure I want to add it, at least in the current state.

Failing to check return values is bad, too, but not the root cause of
the failure.  That test is attempting to allocate (2^24 - 1) * 15 =
251658225 bytes of memory in a single malloc(3) call, about 240 MB,
because on OpenBSD, TMP_MAX is 0x7fff.  Running that particular
test makes no sense until upstream fixes it.

The test src/tests/buildinfo.bats is also broken.  It assumes that,
if you have a file "./utility" that start with the first line
"#!/bin/sh" and a file "./argument" that starts with the first
line "#!./utility" and then run "./argument", that the kernel
would run "#!/bin/sh ./utility ./argument".  But our kernel
runs "#!/bin/sh ./argument" instead.

The buildinfo.bats issue is more or less unfixable because on the
one hand, the automake infrastructure in Makefile.am and the
script config/aux/tap-driver.sh require that the TESTS make
variable must contain the name of the test *data* file, but then
turn around and tell the kernel to *execute* that data file.
To make that portable, upstream needs to completely restructure
that maze of indirections and abstractions.

On top of that, the tests require gmake(1) and bash(1) while
nothing in the actual software requires those.

So half the tests (2 out of 4) are broken and completely non-portable.
The "select" test is completely trivial and certainly does not test
select(2) in any meaningful way.  So what remains as potentially
working and non-trivial is one single test, the "spawn" test.  I don't
think that is worth depending on gmake and bash and all the trouble
i described above.  Consequently, i suggest to just forget about the
tests until upstream gets their shit together and makes sure they
are portable, work, and test some non-trivial features.

I mean, come on, this is supposed to be a portability library -
but all the same, the test suite is thoroughly Linux-only...

Next problem to consider for upstream: when run with automake 1.16
and autoconf 2.71, the build complains loudly:

  configure.ac:53: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_C99' is obsolete.
  configure.ac:53: You should run autoupdate.
  /usr/local/share/autoconf-2.71/autoconf/c.m4:1662:
AC_PROG_CC_C99 is expanded from...
  configure.ac:53: the top level
  configure.ac:67: warning: The macro `AC_LANG_C' is obsolete.
  configure.ac:67: You should run autoupdate.
  /usr/local/share/autoconf-2.71/autoconf/c.m4:72:

AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from...
  config/m4/ax_pthread.m4:283: AX_PTHREAD is expanded from...
  configure.ac:67: the top level

So that is apparently newer than the autotools versions they
are aiming for.  But when trying to use the autotools versions
advertised in README.md, automake-1.10 and autoconf-2.67, the
build crashes instantly, so those are apparently too old.


There are more problems with the software.  For example, 
in src/lib/install_signalfd.c, i spotted a signal handler
that calls snprintf(3).  I don't doubt there is more.
Then again, correctness of upstream code isn't really
a requirement for a port...


I'm suggesting the version of the Makefile appended below,
with the following changes:

 * Remove BUILD_DEPENDS = devel/check
   The build does not need it, only the tests might, some day.

 * Remove USE_GMAKE = Yes
   Again, the build does not need it, only the tests do.

 * Add SEPARATE_BUILD = Yes
   Upstream strongly recommends that, and faq/ports/testing.html
   recommends it, too.

 * Add CONFIGURE_ENV += ac_cv_prog_GIT=
   That achieves the same as patch-config_m4_custom_checks_m4 ,
   but in a much simpler way.  Do forget to remove that patch
   if you agree with this change.

 * Add a comment explaining why the test suite makes no sense
   just yet, with an incomplete list of changes that would be
   needed to enable it, all commented out, such that we don't
   forget what we already found out.

 * Add a comment about the autotools versions.
   I think someone should talk to upstream and find out
   which versions this software is actually designed for.

Feel free to use part or all of this in any way you want.
I don't want to commit it, but you might.  :-)

Yours,
  Ingo

Woops, I identified a correct issue in unistd.c, but the fix was wrong.

(update: upstream has accepted one of the two patches)

Also enabling the built-in tests this time, I haven't noticed them the

I agree with your sentiment, and in fact I was a bit scared too the
first time I heard of the library, but upon a further look it turns out
not to be the case fortunately.

What this library does is wrapping most of the functionality of libc, in
particular macros and constants, behind functions calls.  This is needed
for some higher level language where is impossible or particularly
cumbersome to access those.  One example may be src/lib/select.c:

 55 DSO_PUBLIC void
 56 lfp_fd_set(int fd, fd_set *set)
 57 {
 58 FD_SET(fd, set);
 59 }
 60
 61 DSO_PUBLIC void
 62 lfp_fd_zero(fd_set *set)
 63 {
 64 FD_ZERO(set);
 65 }

One may argue that it's the fault of the language that doesn't provide
such wrapper -or equivalent- by itself, and I would agree, but
unfortunately that's the case.  Functions like those allows, for
example, a Common Lisp program to use select(2).

Most of the content of the library is just wrapping functions from libc
for (apparently) no reason at all.  Take src/lib/resource.c for example:

 27 DSO_PUBLIC int
 28 lfp_getrlimit(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim)
 29 {
 30 return getrlimit(resource, rlim);
 31 }

So there's nothing like a rand(3) implementation or a different
printf(3) that allows %n.

I did, however, sit down and read the whole thing from top to bottom
(the first time I did only a generic scan.)  It's not what I would call
a pretty library, but I think it's innocuous at worst.  I zapped a
"mkostemp NIH" which is, I think, the most grave offender.  (the second
place goes to the "almost" posix_spawn rewrite in src/lib/spawn.c, but
it's slightly different from posix_spawn and would avoid to touch that
if possible.)

I'm also starting to think that DESCR needs some tweaking because even
if that's how upstream describes it, it's not really correct.  True,
there is some platform-dependent code (in particular for macos, but also
a dummy sendfile(2) for example) but it's still misleading, and your
mail convinced me of that.  pkg/DESCR now reads

I hope it would clear some doubts, but I'm open to improvements (as you
may have already noted, I'm not a skilled writer ;-)

Without looking at the code: 
This sounds totally scary to me.

Wouldn't it be better to provide a dummy instead that just passes
the calls through?

I mean, decisions about OpenBSD deviating from POSIX are usually
made for a reason, aren't they?  For example, the first things
coming to my mind are rand(3) and gets(3) and printf(%n), and i feel
certain there are several more.

Software depending on POSIX behaviour that we intentionally disabled
should not just patch it back, right?  I think it is better to have
such software fail to build (or even, admittedly less conveniently,
crash at run time).

Then, the actual problems can be investigated and fixed properly.

Wouldn't this port essentially implement security mitigation
countermeasures, as the famous saying by tedu@ goes?

This is not an objection, just a question.

> Maintainer: The OpenBSD ports mailing-list 

For such a scary beast, shouldn't there at least be a maintainer
who does basic auditing of the library, making sure that it does
not cause a security disaster, and making sure that future versions
do not introduce vulnerabilities either?

To me, this feels like sending a Mastiff to promenade alone in the
park instead of leading it on a leash?

there are some common lisp libraries that depends on this.  I ported it
around one year ago because I needed it for a x11/stumpwm extension, but
there were issues with the common lisp library iolib.  These issues were
fixed recently, so here's the port.

OK?

P.S.: only one doubt: the port is written in C99 which should be ok for
base-gcc right?
