Subject: BUG #19095: Test if function exit() is used fail when linked static
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 07:56:38 +0000
Message-ID: <19095-6d8256d0c37d4be2@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 19095
Logged by: Torsten Rupp
Email address: torsten.rupp@gmx.net
PostgreSQL version: 15.14
Operating system: Linux
Description:
Note: occur from version 15.14 or newer.
In src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile is a test if the function "exit()" (or in
general: a function exists with the name part "exit") is used:
libpq-refs-stamp: $(shlib)
ifneq ($(enable_coverage), yes)
ifeq (,$(filter aix solaris,$(PORTNAME)))
@if nm -A -u $< 2>/dev/null | grep -v __cxa_atexit | grep exit; then
\
echo 'libpq must not be calling any function which invokes
exit'; exit 1; \
fi
endif
endif
This test fail if libpq is linked static to an application when e. g.
libcrypto is also linked static into libpq which add indirectly a call to
"pthread_exit()".
Possible fix: exclude pthread_exit(), too (like __cxa_atexit), e.g.:
libpq-refs-stamp: $(shlib)
ifneq ($(enable_coverage), yes)
ifeq (,$(filter aix solaris,$(PORTNAME)))
@if nm -A -u $< 2>/dev/null | grep -v __cxa_atexit | grep -v
pthread_exit | grep exit; then \
echo 'libpq must not be calling any function which invokes
exit'; exit 1; \
fi
endif
endif
