[Caml-list] mod_caml makes Apache segfault

[Caml-list] mod_caml makes Apache segfault

[Alan Schmitt]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1163 bytes --]

Hi,

In order to play with cocanwiki, I am currently trying to get mod_caml 
to work on a server here (Fedora Core 1, Apache 2.0.50).

First of all, a small trick: in order to get mod_caml to compile, I had 
to specify two paths for includes:
PACHEINCDIR := /usr/include/httpd -I /usr/include/apr-0

I think this is a bug from RedHat (there is a apr.h included from 
httpd.h without the correct include path).

I have installed mod_caml following the instruction, added a 
"LoadModule" line in the config file:
LoadModule caml_module modules/mod_caml.so
and restarted httpd.

The problem is that now Apache does not serve any pages, and I see in 
the logs a bunch of:

[Mon Sep 06 14:46:43 2004] [notice] child pid 26207 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Sep 06 14:46:43 2004] [notice] child pid 26209 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Sep 06 14:46:52 2004] [notice] child pid 26210 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Does someone know how to get mod_caml to work on such FC1 with Apache 2?

Thanks a lot,

Alan Schmitt

Hi Alan,

First thing to say is that there is a show-stopper bug in Apache 2
which prevents modules which use PCRE from working.  mod_caml is one
of those modules:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27550

If you want to see this bug fixed, please add your comments to that
page.

There are suggestions on that page for compiling a version of Apache
which doesn't cause conflicting symbols, however it's probably a case
of it's easier to use a version of Apache 1.3 precompiled for FC1,
which definitely should work.

Just to check it is the PCRE bug, can you get a stack trace.  IIRC
the command is:

 gdb
 run /usr/sbin/apache -X
 [segfault]
 bt

Thanks a lot for explaining this, I now understand the comment about 
problems using mod_caml with apache 2 on the cocanwiki page.

Unfortunately I don't think I can install apache 1.3 on this server as 
we're using apache 2 to serve our research lab website (I wanted to add 
a wiki to this site), and I don't think one can have both running at the 
same time. I'll try to find another machine to do this installation 
then.

Thanks again,

Alan Schmitt

Yes, it's a problem, and again I urge you to add a comment to that
page to get the Apache developers to incorporate the fix.

You can run an instance of Apache 1.3 on a different port number, but
of course it's not ideal.

IMHO I've found a patch that fixes the bug. At least it prevents httpd.core
at mod_caml.so load.

Please share a link to more info about this.  My show has still been
stopped re: mod_caml because the only place I can run it currently has a
production apache 2 on it and I don't want to introduce any nonstandard
patches (read: i want the ebuild to work :).

The Apache 2.0 bug report contains patches which fix the problem:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27550

Sadly the Apache 2 developers have not deemed it important enough to
actually apply the patch.

BTW 'my' patch works: mod_caml.so linked well into httpd and is still working.

[Caml-list] ocamllex parametrized parse regexp

[lehalle@miriad]

Hi,

I try to use ocamllex like this (I want to have one of the parsing regexp  
to be read from an external file) :


{
   open Printf;;

}
let digit = ['0'-'9']

let mark = ...read in a file...

rule oaddress outcan = parse
   | mark as bemark
       {
         printf "MARK(%s)" bemark;
         oaddress outcan lexbuf
       }
   | _ as d
       { printf "Unk[%c]\n" d;
         oaddress outcan lexbuf
       }
   | eof
       {
         fprintf outcan "END";
       }

Is it possible or useless to try somethink like that ?

ocamllex is a standard compiler, it compiles its input base.mll file into
a base.ml file that implements the lexer.

The language understood by ocamllex remains quite basic. As a consequence
there is no built-in support for what you want.
(Basically the 'let name = regexp' feature can be seen as simple macros).

However, nothing prevents you from generating the appropriate source
(.mll) files before you feed them into ocamllex.

No, you can't do this directly: ocamllex regexps
have to be known at ocamllex compile time.
