Hi Chris, We formally dropped support for MSVC a long time ago. That being said, working build of OpenLDAP was accomplished with MSVCC a few months ago without hitting this issue. Which version of MSVC is being used, and please doublecheck the conditions spelled out in the comments in <ldap_cdefs.h>, where it starts with "Support for Windows DLLs". Also, instead of declaring things as extern, does changing LDAP_LIBC_V to LDAP_LUTIL_V resolve your issue? --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Senior Systems Software Developer ITS/Shared Application Services Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html

(ITS#4901) malloc/free mismatches in ldapadd
by chris.ridd＠isode.com 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Full_Name: Chris Ridd Version: 2.3.34 OS: Windows URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (62.3.217.250) On Windows, it is important that mallocs done in one DLL are balanced by frees done from the same DLL. Failure to do this consistently leads to heap corruption. This was observed to occur in several places in ldapadd - several buffers allocated by ber_memfree() were freed using free(). Our customer has successfully used a version of ldapadd on Windows containing this patch (and the one in ITS 4900.) Patch follows: --- openldap-2.3.34/clients/tools/common.c.orig Fri Mar 30 15:17:32 2007 +++ openldap-2.3.34/clients/tools/common.c Fri Mar 30 15:21:42 2007 @@ -163,7 +163,7 @@ N_(" -n show what would be done but don't actually do it\n"), N_(" -O props SASL security properties\n"), N_(" -p port port on LDAP server\n"), -N_(" -P version procotol version (default: 3)\n"), +N_(" -P version protocol version (default: 3)\n"), N_(" -Q use SASL Quiet mode\n"), N_(" -R realm SASL realm\n"), N_(" -U authcid SASL authentication identity\n"), @@ -1244,7 +1244,7 @@ crit ?

(ITS#4900) command-line utils crash
by chris.ridd＠isode.com 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Full_Name: Chris Ridd Version: 2.3.34 OS: Windows URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (62.3.217.250) On Windows, the ldapadd tool often crashes while parsing the command-line arguments. This is due to a defect in the way the optarg (et al) variables are declared in ac/unistd.h. When tools/common.c includes that file, the 4 variables end up being declared as being "imported" from a DLL. However they're *actually* present in a static archive that's linked into the ldapadd executable, which is apparently not the same sort of thing. (Visual Studio's compiler warns about inconsistent linkage :-) As a result, the code in getopt.c thinks that optarg is a variable at one address, and the code calling getopt() think that optarg is a variable at a *different* address (NULL in my test rig). Clearly that's not right, and it causes a variety of issues: -D <dn> copies optarg using strdup(NULL), which returns NULL. -w <passwd> scribbles over the passwd string, which crashes doing a *optarg because optarg is NULL. A simple fix is to redeclare the 4 variables as just "extern" instead of LDAP_LIBC_V. Diff follows... --- openldap-2.3.34/include/ac/unistd.h.orig Fri Mar 30 15:05:49 2007 +++ openldap-2.3.34/include/ac/unistd.h Fri Mar 30 15:06:10 2007 @@ -54,8 +54,8 @@ #else /* assume we need to declare these externs */ - LDAP_LIBC_V (char *) optarg; - LDAP_LIBC_V (int) optind, opterr, optopt; + extern char * optarg; + extern int optind, opterr, optopt; #endif /* use lutil file locking */
