Newsgroups: comp.sources.misc Path: sparky!kent From: lijewski@rosserv.gsfc.nasa.gov (Mike Lijewski) Subject: v33i072: problem1.1 - A Problem Database Manager, Part01/07 Message-ID: <csm-v33i072=problem1.1.135039@sparky.IMD.Sterling.COM> Followup-To: comp.sources.d X-Md4-Signature: 34e5e6670b00a34b8300baf7c77a3650 Sender: kent@sparky.imd.sterling.com (Kent Landfield) Reply-To: lijewski@rosserv.gsfc.nasa.gov Organization: Sterling Software Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 19:53:25 GMT Approved: kent@sparky.imd.sterling.com Lines: 1530 Submitted-by: lijewski@rosserv.gsfc.nasa.gov (Mike Lijewski) Posting-number: Volume 33, Issue 72 Archive-name: problem1.1/part01 Environment: UNIX, C++, GDBM, Termcap Supersedes: problem: Volume 33, Issue 2-9 This submission of "problem" supercedes the one earlier in volume 33. It's a resubmission, not a sequence of patches, owing to the reformatting I've done which caused the patches to be nearly as large as the distribution itself. Below are the changes from the previously posted version to this one. 1.0 to 1.1 --------- o did alot of reformatting of the text. Everything is nice and pretty now. o added <sys/file.h> when FLOCK is defined to get the appropriate definitions. o fixed file permission problem when set up to run SUID. o fixed problem with the screen on xterms being cleared after problem exited. o users can now specify in the Makefile whether they have a mailer which recognizes the "-s" flag to signify subject lines. o removed the constraint on "less" as the only pager. Now let installer choose whether they want to use "less" or not. o the EDITOR and PAGER envirionment variables may now contain multi-word arguments such as "emacs -q -nw" or "less -i -s -Q -M". o fixed problem with lines not being properly truncated on some machines which have both AM and XN set in termcap. o the unsubscribe command was unsubscribing everyone for the area. This has been fixed. o incorporated diffs for SCO UNIX 3.2.2 and g++ 2.2.2 o am now skipping null lines as well as comment lines in read_file(). o added 'P' command to change priority (severity). o removed as many sprintf()s as was readily possible. o replaced ioctl(n, ...) with ioctl(fileno(std*), ...). o added copy constructor for SBHelper. o fixed bug in modify_keywords when keyword field is null. o fixed bug in error() on certain types of terminals. o added 'T' command to transfer a problem from one area to another. o added String(const char*, int) which works similarly to strncpy() and integrated it in. o now DELETE works the same as BACKSPACE while in a prompt. o added workaround for missiong waitpid(). o added patches for SunOS 4.0.2. o fixed mhash - it wasn't hashing "Nov" correctly. ----------------- #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive.

Xo added POSIX signals and a flag to choose between BSD and POSIX X signals for those places where I truly need to "block" signals. Xo added a MANIFEST file to the distribution. X X0.8 to 0.9 X--------- X Xo added a '-v' flag. Xo if we can't fit all the areas on the screen, even after compacting X them into multiple columns, the title line on the area window X becomes: "The First N Areas:". Xo removed setbuf for setvbuf -- stdout is still fully buffered, but I now X let the standard I/O package choose the buffer and buffer size. Xo added macro OLDDELETE to signify that the C++ compiler cannot deal X with the 'delete []' form of deleting arrays of objects. Xo will now strip trailing tabs as well as spaces from the area names, X though tab-embedded strings probably won't display as the user X expects. Xo am now cognizant of the fact that the second argument to execvp is a X (char *const *) and am using it correctly. X X0.9 to .95 X--------- X Xo ran c++-tame-comments on all the .C files. This is where all the X backslashes in comments come from. Xo added 1992 to Copyright notice. Xo fixed problem with not being able to use emacs as an editor. Xo merged in patch from Rob Kurver X X0.95 to 1.0 X---------- X Xo changed modify keyword command from 'm' to 'M'; now 'm' is X a mnemonic for "more" in "view" mode. Xo enhanced yes_or_no with a default response mode. Xo added patches for Apollo X X---------- X1.0 to 1.1 X Xo added <sys/file.h> when FLOCK is defined to get the appropriate X definitions. Xo fixed file permission problem when set up to run SUID. Xo fixed problem with the screen on xterms being cleared after problem X exited. Xo users can now specify in the Makefile whether they have a mailer X which recognizes the "-s" flag to signify subject lines. Xo removed the constraint on "less" as the only pager. Now let X installer choose whether they want to use "less" or not. Xo the EDITOR and PAGER envirionment variables may now contain X multi-word arguments such as "emacs -q -nw" or "less -i -s -Q -M". Xo fixed problem with lines not being properly truncated on some machines X which have both AM and XN set in termcap. Xo the unsubscribe command was unsubscribing everyone for the area. X This has been fixed. Xo incorporated diffs for SCO UNIX 3.2.2 and g++ 2.2.2 Xo am now skipping null lines as well as comment lines in read_file(). Xo added 'P' command to change priority (severity). Xo removed as many sprintf()s as was readily possible. Xo replaced ioctl(n, ...) with ioctl(fileno(std*), ...). Xo added copy constructor for SBHelper. Xo fixed bug in modify_keywords when keyword field is null. Xo fixed bug in error() on certain types of terminals. Xo added 'T' command to transfer a problem from one area to another. Xo added String(const char*, int) which works similarly to strncpy() and X integrated it in. Xo now DELETE works the same as BACKSPACE while in a prompt. Xo added workaround for missiong waitpid(). Xo added patches for SunOS 4.0.2. Xo fixed mhash - it wasn't hashing "Nov" correctly.

It runs Xonly in the UNIX environment for the time being. You must also have Xthe GNU database management library (GDBM) installed, as well as have Xthe pager "less" on your system. It has been successfully built and Xtested in the following environments: X XSun Sparc running SunOS 4.1.1 with Cfront 2.0, g++ 2.2 XSun Sparc running SunOS 4.0.2 with g++ 2.2.2 XIBM 3090 running AIX/370 with Cfront 2.0 XIBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.1.5 with Cfront 2.1, g++ 2.2, xlC Xi486 + ISC v3.2 3.0 Unix (SysVR3) with g++ 2.2.2 (use -DTERMIO -DISC) XApollo running Domain/OS 10.3 with ANSI headers, BSD Environment, g++ 2.2 XHP 9000/300 series, HP-UX 8.0, gcc/g++ v2.2.2 XSCO UNIX 3.2.2, g++ 2.2.2 X XIn order to build "problem", a few lines in the Makefile will need to be Xmodified. The line X XCC = X Xis used to define the name of your C++ compiler. X X ex. You have some version of Cfront X -- X CC = CC X X ex. you have GNU g++ X -- X CC = g++ X XThe line X XCFLAGS = X Xis where system-specific preprocessor defines are put. Direct from Xthe Makefile we have: X X# Add -DSIGINTERRUPT if you both have it and NEED it to ensure that signals X# interrupt slow system calls. This is primarily for 4.3 BSD-based systems. X# Otherwise, your system most certaily does the right thing already. X# X# Add -DOLDDELETE if your compiler can't handle the 'delete []' form X# of the delete operator for deleting arrays of objects allocated X# via new. If you don't know whether you compiler can handle it or X# not, just don't define it and see what happens. If your compiler X# accepts it, it'll do the right thing. X# X# You must indicate where the GDBM header file 'gdbm.h' is to be found X# using a flag of the form: -I/usr/local/include. X# X# If you have the BSD 4.3 signal mechanism, in particular, sigblock(2) and X# sigsetmask(2), add -DBSDSIGS. Else if you have POSIX signals, in X# particular sigprocmask(2), add -DPOSIXSIGS. Otherwise I'll use X# the usually ANSI C signal mechanism when I need to block SIGTSTP and X# SIGWINCH. This can lead to some lost signals in very rare X# circumstances, but what can you do with a braindead signal mechanism. X# X# The default locking is done using the POSIX "lockf". If you don't X# have "lockf" but have the BSD "flock", add -DFLOCK. If you have X# neither, well ... X# X# By default, we assume that you have version of mail that accepts the X# "-s" flag to indicate a subject line. If your mailer doesn't X# recognize the "-s" flag, add -DNOSUBJECT. X# X# If you don't have the pager "less" or just don't want to force its use as X# THE pager, add -DNOLESS. We'll then use the pager in the PAGER X# environment variable, or "more" by default. Use "less" if you have it. X# X# If you're running on ESIX, add -DESIX X X ex. On a Sun you need to use -DSIGINTERRUPT and -DBSDSIGS X -- X CFLAGS = -DSIGINTERRUPT -DBSDSIGNALS -I/usr/local/include X X ex. On an RS/6000 you only need -DBSDSIGS X -- X CFLAGS = -DBSDSIGNALS -I/usr/local/include X XYou should also add -O to CFLAGS, unless you really don't trust the Xoptimization phase of your compiler. X XThe line X XTERMFLAGS = X Xis used to set which type of terminal control your OS uses. From the XMakefile: X X# Those flags needed to compile in the type of terminal X# control you have: X# X# Use -DTERMIOS if you have <termios.h>, the POSIX terminal control. X# Use -DTERMIO if you have <termio.h>, the SYSV terminal control. X# Otherwise, we assume you have <sgtty.h>, the BSD terminal control. X# X# If you choose to use -DTERMIOS and have problems, try -DTERMIO. On X# at least two systems I've tried, the vendor hasn't had all the X# include files set up correctly to include <unistd.h> together with X# <osfcn.h> among others. X# X# On RS/6000s, AIX/370 and recent Suns, -DTERMIO works well. X X ex. on a SYSV-based system X -- X TERMFLAGS = -DTERMIO X X ex. on a POSIX system X -- X TERMFLAGS = -DTERMIOS X X ex. on a BSD-based system X -- X TERMFLAGS = X XTo control the screen, dired uses the termcap(3) library. It used the XGNU Database Management Library (GDBM) for low-level database Xmanipulations. You'll need to link with both these libraries. From Xthe Makefile we have: X XLIBS = -lgdbm -ltermcap X XYou shouldn't need to change this unless you don't have termcap(3). XIf this is the case, try one of '-lterminfo' or '-lcurses'. X XThe macro HOMEBASE is used to control where "problem" stores its Xdatabases, mailing lists, SEQUENCE file and AREA file. It must be a Xfull pathname. From the Makefile: X X# Directory is which the databases, AREA file (this is the file, with X# one area per line, listing the valid problem areas), SEQUENCE file X# (this is the file used to keep the unique problem #), and X# MAILLIST.* files (which contains the names of interested parties) X# will be stored. X XThe macro MAILPROG is a version of mail. It must be a full pathname. XIf you haven't specified -DNOSUBJECT above, make sure this version of Xmail accepts the "-s" flag to indicate a subject line. X X ex. on AIX/370 X -- X MAILPROG = /bin/mail X X ex. on a RS/6000 X -- X MAILPROG = /usr/bin/mail X XProblem maintains some limit on the amount of text it will accept for Xany initial problem log, or for any single append or close. From Xexperience, this is important to keep people from putting lots of Xexxtraneous information in their problem reports which does nothing Xexcept cause the databases to grow excessively fast. The size of this Xlimit is configurable by setting the MAXFILESIZE. At the authors site Xwe use X XMAXFILESIZE = 16000 X XProblem is designed to be run SUID from an account which has write Xpermission to the HOMEBASE directory. This is so that it can update Xits SEQUENCE file and mailing list files, without giving write access Xto the world. To start with, it is probably easiest to just make the XHOMEBASE directory writeable only by the "problem" administrator and Xthen make it SUID to that user. X XOnce you've edited Makefile, type 'make'. Hopefully, the make will Xcomplete with no errors and you will have a working "problem". Then Xmove the executable "problem" to a suitable binary directory making Xsure to set it up SUID to the owner of the HOMEBASE directory. You Xthen need to add some areas to the AREA file. X XA Word On GDBM: X-------------- X XRegarding GDBM, you'll need to do a bit of work to make it work from XC++ code. Specifically, the gdbm.h file generated when GDBM is built Xisn't callable from C++; it doesn't have the functions prototyped. XThe file 'gdbm.h-proto' should be a dropin replacement for the gdbm.h Xfile generated on your system from GDBM version 1.5. I've also sent Xthis to the author of GDBM so that future releases will hopefully be Xboth C and C++ compatible. X XThere is a potential problem with calling the GDBM functions on Suns Xfrom C++ code if you use g++. Basically, you need to compile GDBM and X"problem" with compilers from the same "family". That is, if you Xcompile GDBM with gcc, you must compile "problem" with g++. Likewise, Xif you compiled GDBM with cc, you must use a Cfront-based compiler to Xcompile "problem". Otherwise, "problem" will seg fault when you try Xto call any of the GDBM functions. The problem is due to incompatible Xstruct passing conventions between gcc and the native C compiler. I'm Xtold that this has been fixed in gcc/g++ versions 2.0 and higher. XMoral: don't use a version of g++ lower than 2.0 on Suns. X XA Note Regarding Portability: X---------------------------- X XUnfortunately, from experience, it appears that C++ code is much more Xdifficult to port than C code. The main difficulty seems to be header Xfiles. Since every function must be prototyped before it is used, one Xnecessarily includes many system include files to properly prototype Xfunctions, especially in an application such as "problem" which uses a Xfair number of system services and library functions. When one starts Xincluding many include files, the inconsistencies of the files becomes Xapparent. The most common "bug" is when two different include files Xprototype a function differently. C++ compilers consider this as a Xhard error. The only thing to be done in this situation is to fix the Xheader file(s) and continue with the build process. X XAnother common difficulty is a header file which doesn't prototype a Xfunction when in fact it should. In this case your best bet is to Xmanually add the prototype to "problem.h". X XAnother more fundamental difficulty with include files is that they are Xincompletely or inconsistently standardized. ANSI C dictates the Xcontents of only fifteen include files which are meant to cover the C Xlibrary. In order to use a function not covered by ANSI C, which, by Xnecessity, will include all operating system specific functions, one Xmust have some other scheme for deciding what file(s) to include. XWhere ANSI C stops, "problem" development has followed the rules Xproposed by POSIX 1003.1 as regards which file to include to get the Xprototype of some system-specific function. Not all systems follow or Xeven purport to follow the POSIX standard.
