[Bug 429411] Re: nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting
Making this a weak symbol seems to have the right effect; when it's missing from glibc, it has no address, which the code now checks for and doesn't stash it (runtime check configure check) -- nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 429411] Re: nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting
0.6.5 2010-02-04 Our last, best hope for victory * Since libnih has been separated out into its own project, Upstart no longer includes its source and now uses the installed version by default. * The external nih-dbus-tool means that cross-compilation is trivial, the path to it may be overriden with NIH_DBUS_TOOL=... as an argument to configure. (Bug: #426740) * Developers may still build against a local libnih source tree by passing --with-local-libnih=/path/to/libnih to configure. * There is a new initctl reload command, with matching /sbin/reload symlink. This sends the SIGHUP signal to the running main process of the named job instance. * Event operator matches in jobs now support != in addition to the usual =, e.g.: start on net-device-added INTERFACE!=eth* (Bug: #513035) * Moved D-Bus system bus reconnection trigger from SIGHUP to SIGUSR1, since SIGHUP is already used for a forced configuration reload and causes Upstart to forget state. * Fixed bug where the default runlevel would be lost when an /etc/inittab file exists without an initdefault line. (Bug: #405847) * Fixed Unhandled error message from shutdown. (Bug: #426332) * Fixed Unhandled error assertion crash from Upstart child processes when failing to spawn a job. (Bug: #451917) * No longer holds /dev/console open, so the SAK SysRq key will not kill Upstart. (Bug: #486005) * Restored sync() call before reboot(). * Added missing OPTIONS section to init(8) manpage. (Bug: #449883) ** Changed in: upstart Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This was added by an Ubuntu developer, and was definitely intended to be usable by other libraries that had their own assert functions. If the developer got the glibc patch wrong, they'll fix it.

Fixed in libnih 1.0.0, note that this fix will still need to be merged into software using libnih or the software updated to dynamically link to libnih instead. ** Changed in: libnih Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was fixed in the package upstart - 0.6.3-8 --- upstart (0.6.3-8) karmic; urgency=low * Rather than calling telinit u after upgrade, which will lose state, have the umountroot initscript take care of it for us by setting a flag. LP: #441796. * Don't lose the original default runlevel if /etc/inittab exists without an initdefault line. LP: #405847. * Fix unhandled error in shutdown when unable to change runlevel, e.g. due to previous Ubiquity bug. LP: #426332. * Merge change from trunk that makes it possible to build Upstart using a previously built copy of nih-dbus-tool, especially useful when cross-compiling. LP: #426740. * Merge change from libnih to store our assertion messages in the glibc __abort_msg symbol so apport can pick them up. LP: #429411. * Merge change from libnih to fix compilation issue with eglibc due to changed alphasort() prototype. -- Scott James Remnant sc...@ubuntu.com Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:34:13 +0100 ** Branch linked: lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/upstart/ubuntu ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- nih: Set __abort_msg when aborting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
