termcap moodule problem on Cygwin

termcap moodule problem on Cygwin

[Andrej Borsenkow]

Cygwin has only static libtermcap. It gets linked twice - into main zsh
(libzsh to be sure) where term is (re-)initalized and into termcap.dll where
bin_echotc is defined. Only first one calls tgetent() so every call to `echotc
cap' crashes somewhere in termcap.

Calling tgetent in bin_echotc is not an option because it won't catch changed
TERM. It means that code to deal with terminal should exist exactly once - in
main zsh or in module. I vote for moving it into zle (after all, it is the
only module that should care for TERM) together with bin_echotc. In any case,
it makes idea of echotc in seperate module very questionable.

Note, that Cygwin is not the only system with static termcap/terminfo.

It must surely be possible to make sure it is linked in once only, which
would be the right thing to do.  If the worst comes to the worst, get
configure to detect a static termcap and only link it into the main module.

We've had this problem before, with a static `environ' symbol.  There's an
autoconf test for it in aczsh.m4.  Is there an appropriate symbol here
that we can use to test for a static termcap, to extend the test?

[Andrej Borsenkow]

Answering both Peter and Zefram:

- it is not possible to simply link termcap into libzsh and then link termcap
module against libzsh (if that is what Peter means). AFAIK it may be
impossible on Win32 (it is not Cygwin limitation)

- in any case, it needs completely different configuration system to find out
exact set of libraries for every module. I am not even sure if any general
solution is possible. I have to look what libtool can do.

- even if it is possible to check for static vs. shared libtermcap (like
currently with environ) it will disable  modules (note, that on Cygwin environ
check is explicitly disabled as it is misleading there). What is worse modules
will be disabled on all systems that have static termcap/curses, and that are
possibly many SVR4-derivates, mine including :-) Having termcap/terminfo as
separate modules hardly justifies this.

- the problem is not limited to Cygwin (obviously). Depending of used terminal
library program may crash, echotc may not track terminal changes or everything
may be O.K. You cannot tell in advance, sigh.

- finally, having the whole terminal related code in main zsh and moving just
a single builtin in seperate module looks funny.

what we can do know is

- add wrappers for tgetent & Co. and add note to zsh-development-guide that
people should not use original functions.

- move termcap (and terminfo) back into main zsh.

Somehow I'm inclined to the latter.

You could force it to be statically linked by changing the `link' line to
test for cygwin in termcap.mdd.  See existing `link=' in terminfo.mdd for
how this works.  You can make this depend on a configure test for whether
termcap is static.

Somebody with gcc knowledge here? (Was: termcap moodule problem on Cygwin )

Of course, I am idiot. Even more so as I cannot build zsh with static termcap:

dllwrap -g  --export-all-symbols -o libzsh-3.1.9-dev-8.dll  `cat
stamp-modobjs`
-ltermcap -lm -lc
dllwrap: no export definition file provided
dllwrap: creating one, but that may not be what you want
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x318): multiple definition of `setup_zshQstermcap'
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x318): first defined here
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x324): multiple definition of `boot_zshQstermcap'
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x324): first defined here
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x354): multiple definition of `cleanup_zshQstermcap'
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x354): first defined here
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x37c): multiple definition of `finish_zshQstermcap'
Modules/termcap.o(.text+0x37c): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This happens with both dllwrap and gcc; I do not understand the error message
at all.

It does not happen when building static zsh.

Anybody have some insight on what these errors mean?

This implements the latter. On two systems with static termcap/terminfo both
are now compiled into main executable.

I do not have any system with shared term library. I could try using ncurses
on Cygwin, but zsh unconditionally includes termcap.h and it is incompatible
with ncurses. Please, check with shared termcap if both modules are still
built as shared :)

I am fairly sure that check in current form does not work correctly on Cygwin
(due to stab libraries).

This turns the linking on SunOS 5.6 from dynamic to static for the two
modules.  It was working OK before with dynamic.  However, the curses
library which is linked in does appear to be static.  On the other hand,
our new server with SunOS 5.8 appears to have a dynamic curses library, but
the test still fails, although:
  % nm /lib/libcurses.so | grep tgetent
  [1176]  |     95876|      52|FUNC |GLOB |0    |9      |tgetent
The libraries used are `-lsocket -ldl -lnsl -lcurses -lm -lc'.

Does anyone have any evidence of termcap still being linked in dynamically
with the patch in place?  I can't promise I'll get a chance to look at
what's happening immediately.

Yes, test was broken, sorry. Try this patch (on top of previous).

The situation looks a bit more complicated. On my system name resolution in
shared modules happens at runtime (unless you override it) so all modules pick
up just one copy of curses library linked into main executable. Cool.

That's fine, both libraries are now dynamically linked on both versions of
Solaris, which is what was happening before the patch.

O.K., hopefully the last version. Now it really works for Cygwin, both shared
and static libs. I tested it with:

- Unix, pseudo-shared (see below) static curses
- Cygwin, static termcap
- Cygwin, shared ncurses

So, remaining case is Unix with real shared library and possibly Unix with
bad-behaving static library.

Solaris 2.6 and my system both provide pseudo-shared implementation - static
symbols are linked into every shared object, but references to them are
resolved at runtime and point to the single copy of static symbol. It has one
possible drawback - if shared object that owns this static symbol is unloaded,
references are no more valid. So far, my system seems to correctly keep
reference count. It depends on coimpiler options (I can force local binding).
So I added test for this case as well - dunno if it really helps.
