#18940 new bug

texinfo 7.1 conftest crashes: assert in re_search_internal

Description

I'm currently updating texinfo-7 to version 7.1. It would need a revbump anyway for the new perl version.

During configure, the conftest program crashes during checking for working re_compile_pattern... (with the outcome no).

This is hrev57804, x86_64.

re_compile_pattern is not POSIX, I think currently you need to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE to get it.

The problem isn't that it doesn't find the function. The way it is called causes an assert in libroot.

Oh, right.

We may need to update at least some of the glibc-imported stuff: their commit removing that assert.

Meanwhile, maybe ./configure --with-included-regex will work for texinfo?

Replying to madmax:

Meanwhile, maybe ./configure --with-included-regex will work for texinfo?

I applied your suggestion and it works. It doesn't check the function any more and therefore also doesn't crash. Thanks!

Summary: Texinfo 7.1 conftest crashestexinfo 7.1 conftest crashes: assert in re_search_internal

I managed to upgrade our glibc regex code to 2.28 in hrev57862. Newer versions than that will require importing more headers from glibc, it appears, and I'm not sure if they'll still be C89-compatible...

just for reference: conftest still crashes on hrev57862.
