19471 - talkback is linked with strange libstdc++

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Cesar Eduardo Barros]

talkback seems to be linked with libstdc++2.7.2, while the rest of mozilla use a
newer version. The code linked with libstdc++ seems to be dynamically loaded
into the main executable, with the result that mozilla is using two different
versions of libstdc++ at the same time (or talkback don't get loaded if
libstdc++2.7.2 is missing, which is what happened here and also how I found out
this strangeness).


The version I'm using is M11 for glibc2.1 plus talkback (1999111520)

this one shouldn't be sitting in leger's queue: leger -> namachi,

shiva, can you and cyeh/granrose have a look,
and check this out with the folks from fullsoft?

Comment 2

[Shiva Thirumazhusai]

I will update it to glibc

[Shiva Thirumazhusai]

With the new Talkback client libraries version 2.2 should fix this problem. It
is already checked into the tree(by cyeh). Granrose can you verify ?

Comment 5

[Jon Granrose]

I think cyeh is working on the new libraries now.  reassigning to him, putting
myself as QA contact.

how do I verify that this is no longer happening once the new talkback libraries
are in?  Can nm tell me this?

Comment 6

[Chris Yeh]

the new libraries were checked in today, so you should see them in tomorrow's
builds. as far as verifying which version gets linked in, cesarb or maybe mcafee
can tell you.

Comment 7

[Jon Granrose]

cyeh - last I heard you had backed these libraries out.  should we reopen this
bug?

Comment 8

[Chris Yeh]

no, that was on another product. 5.0 is running talkback 2.2

Comment 9

[Jon Granrose]

doing an ldd on the talkback binary shows we are no longer linking against 
libstdc++2.7.2:
ldd talkback/talkback
        /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40013000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4001c000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40068000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40074000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40118000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40129000)

        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40229000)    


Marking verified.
