#48805 Cleanup: Gcc 6.0 warnings
Closed: wontfix None Opened 7 years ago by firstyear.

When we swap to gcc 6 in fedora 24, this will trigger many more warnings in our code.

Additionally, with -Wextra we see lots of errors related to unused function parameters, mismatched sign checking in if statements.

I would like to sit down and go through all our gcc 6.0 compiler errors and either:

  • Fix the code.
  • Annonate the code to silence the warning.

No logic changes, mainly whitespace. I have run the test suite over this to ensure no accidental regressions were added.

Supplementary patch to fix many sign comparison warnings.
0001-Ticket-48805-Sign-comparison-checks.patch

Again, ran tests to ensure no regressions.

{{{
662 662 struct codebook {
663 int code;
663 uint code;
664 664 char *text;
}}}
It's better to use the same type instead of the "default" type?

{{{
53 int hash_len; / must be a signed valued -- see below /
53 PRUint32 hash_len; / must be a signed valued -- see below /
}}}
But PRUint32 is unsigned... And it looks to me that pwdstorage_base64_decode_len does not return any negative value... so, we could remove the comment / must be a signed valued -- see below /?

Note: typedef unsigned int PRUint32;

indentation???


do_add( Slapi_PBlock pb )
{{{
57 /

Instead of -1, why don't you use LBER_ERROR?
{{{
519 /
Curiously, LBER_ERROR is uint, but set to -1 (0xffffffffU), even though ber_printf is int ... */
}}}
Casting to ber_tag_t makes -1 an unsigned int.
{{{

define LBER_ERROR ((ber_tag_t) -1)

}}}
So, (ber_tag_t) is doing the job here...

The same change could be applied to get_ldapmessage_controls_ext, get_filter_list( Connection conn, BerElement ber.

Please do not set 0 in get_filter_list. Set LBER_ERROR, instead.

{{{

Looking at the callers, size_t is being passed. Better change the function itself to this?

job, size_t entrysize)
}}}

}}}
Instead, we should declare val as "int"?
{{{
1045 size_t val = (size_t) ((uintptr_t)value);
}}}
Plus, this "val" is not used in this debug print?
{{{
1063 LDAPDebug1Arg(LDAP_DEBUG_ANY,"Error: db cachesize value is too large.\n", val);
}}}


perfctrs_as_entry( Slapi_Entry e, perfctrs_private priv, DB_ENV *db_env )
{{{

I'm curious.... Why this type is size_t and the similar variable in moddn_rename_children is "uint"? What's the difference? I see many changes to "size_t i;"...


chown_dir_files
{{{

??? Sorry, I still don't understand...

slapd_chown_if_not_owner(const char filename, uid_t uid, gid_t gid)
{{{

1169 if ((uid != statbuf.st_uid) || (gid != statbuf.st_gid))
}}}
??? Isn't it a spec of slapd_chown_if_not_owner? I guess the author wanted to add an ability to change just uid or just gid without getting the current value of not changing id? With your change, the caller of slapd_chown_if_not_owner needs to get the current uid/gid to make it intact?


notes2str( unsigned int notes, char buf, size_t buflen )

Applied all these recommendations, they are good points ....


perfctrs_as_entry( Slapi_Entry e, perfctrs_private priv, DB_ENV *db_env )

291 size_t i;
}}}

Okay, the for statement here is:

{{{
for ( i = 0; i < SLAPI_LDBM_PERFCTR_AT_MAP_COUNT; ++i ) {
}}}

Here is the definition of SLAPI_LDBM_PERFCTR_AT_MAP_COUNT

{{{

define SLAPI_LDBM_PERFCTR_AT_MAP_COUNT \

(sizeof(perfctr_at_map) / sizeof(SlapiLDBMPerfctrATMap))

}}}

sizeof returns a size_t. So we make i a size_t so that we don't have a sign compare warning.

Same is true of many other cases for strlen, sizeof, etc. That's why there were lots of these changed.

I sat here thinking about this for a while, and rethinking I can see the original intent of the author now. I'm going to undo this "fix". I see what is happening here now. Thanks for the review.

The point of the original if was that if the -1 was there, it would trigger (uid != statbuf.st_uid), even if statbuf.st_uid was already correct. This statement is meant to avoid un-needed chown's, but I was thinking about it incorrectly. And the way it's structured, it will pass through the -1, to ignore correctly if the other meets the condition.

I'm rebuilding and testing now.

Thank you so much for cleaning up the code, William!!

There is one more place you'd better use LBER_ERROR for -1 and remove the comment (well, the comment is correct, tho. :). The rest looks good. You have my ack. Once control.c is fixed, please push to master which is for 1.3.6 and newer now (Thanks to, Mark)!
