I think it is a good idea to cleanup the Makefile. It grew over many years and certainly
had some inconsistencies. We did however not use "autoconf" since it is not of much use.
It is meant for systems where small differences between different Unix flavors are
covered by this system, but the midas source code is supposed not only to run on Unix,
but also on vxWorks and Windows. As you can imagine, the differences are much more
severe and a simple makefile generator cannot cover the details. Furthermore, under
Windows there is no such thing like autoconf. So all the work to make the source code
compile on all systems has been put into system.c using conditional compiling. So
putting another abstraction layer on this would maybe more complicate things than
simplify it. I will test your Makefile, and I also ask the guys at TRIUMF to do so. Once
we conclude that it works fine, we can replace the original Makefile from the distribution.
  455   09 Mar 2008 Exaos LeeSuggestionNew Makefile for building MIDAS
I rewrote the Makefile for MIDAS in order to make it tidy. I tested it on my box
and it works here.
1. The full file is seperated to several parts
  a. initialized setup
  b. environment setup
  c. specify OS-specific flags
  d. processing environment for building flags
  e. targets
2. The file is less than 400 lines now. The original one is more than 500 lines.
3. The modified one is easy for debuging.

I tried to learn "autoconf" and "automake" in order to make building MIDAS more
compatible for various platforms. But I havn't enough time now. Hope somebody
can help it. The attached file is original named "Makefile.in" for using "autoconf".

  454   07 Mar 2008 Konstantin OlchanskiSuggestionRFC- ACLs for midas rpc, mserver, mhttpd access
The mhttpd host-based access control list as used by ALPHA at CERN is now committed to
SVN (revision 4135).

When accepting connection from a remote host, the remote IP address is converted to a
hostname using gethostbyaddr(). If ODB directory "/experiment/security/mhttpd hosts",
exists, access is permitted if there is an entry for the this hostname. "localhost" is
always permitted.

In other words:

1) To enable the mhttpd access control list, create an ODB directory
"/experiment/security/mhttpd hosts".

2) From this moment, only access from "localhost" is permitted.

3) All connections from remote hosts are rejected with an error written into the midas
log file: Rejecting http connection from 'ladd05.triumf.ca'.

4) To permit access from remote hosts, take the hostname from this error message and
create an entry in "mhttpd hosts": odbedit -> cd "/Experiment/Security/mhttpd hosts" ->
create INT ladd05.triumf.ca

The idea behind this is that mhttpd is running behind an SSL proxy (or an SSH tunnel)
and only accepts connections from this proxy and perhaps from selected machines in the
experiment counting room.

P.S. I considered using tcp_wrappers, but this package does not seem to contain any
simple-to-use function "bool areTheyPermitted(const char* remoteHostname);".

P.P.S. The ODB path name is in variance from Stefan's email. I committed this code
before rereading it, please let me know if I should change the ODB paths.

P.P.P.S. I will now proceed with implementing similar code for the mserver/midas rpc.
Again, the use case is very simple: all machines permitted access to the mserver are
known in advance and can be listed in the access list. All unknown machines should be
rejected.

K.O.

Ahh, great! gcc is getting more and more clever. Each time gcc is updated, it finds
a few new issues.

Indeed some are real bugs, and I will work down the list as time permits. I see
however no immediate thread (you are not using fragmented events, a transition 12
never occurs, etc.). Issue #4 from your list has to be checked by Pierre-Andre. 
  452   07 Mar 2008 Randolf PohlBug Reportarray overflows and other bugs
Hi,

I have just compiled MIDAS svn 4132 on a fresh SuSE 10.3 x86_64 system and gcc 
found a bunch of bugs, I guess.

> uname -a
Linux pc 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)

I see loads of warnings during compile, most of which I know from earlier 
compiles:
* warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
* warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'getsockname' differ in
           signedness

But then there is a new one (in fact lots of this one), and brief
inspection suggests this is a true bug with the possibility of truly
nasty consequences.

(1)=========================
src/midas.c:7398: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
Inspection of midas.c:

   if (i == MAX_DEFRAG_EVENTS) {
      /* no buffer available -> no first fragment received */
7398: free(defrag_buffer[i].pevent);
      memset(&defrag_buffer[i].event_id, 0, sizeof(EVENT_DEFRAG_BUFFER));
      cm_msg(MERROR, "bm_defragement_event",
             "Received fragment without first fragment (ID %d) Ser#:%d",
             pevent->event_id & 0x0FFF, pevent->serial_number);
      return;
   }

And midas.c line 7297:
EVENT_DEFRAG_BUFFER defrag_buffer[MAX_DEFRAG_EVENTS];

So, if(i==MAX_DEFRAG_EVENTS) free(defrag_buffer[i]).
I guess this is an off-by-one bug.

(2)==========================
src/midas.c:2958: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

   for (i = 0; i < 13; i++)
2958  if (trans_name[i].transition == transition)
         break;

Holy cow, hard-coded "13" in the code! Should be a #define, shouldn't it?

Now look at midas.c lines 94ff:
struct {
   int transition;
   char name[32];
} trans_name[] = {
   {
   TR_START, "START",}, {
   TR_STOP, "STOP",}, {
   TR_PAUSE, "PAUSE",}, {
   TR_RESUME, "RESUME",}, {
   TR_DEFERRED, "DEFERRED",}, {
0, "",},};

There is no trans_name[12].

The trans_name[12] shows up in line 2894 and 2790, too.

(3)=============================
mfe.c:
src/mfe.c:412: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
src/mfe.c:311: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
src/mfe.c:340: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

412: device_drv->dd(CMD_GET_DEMAND, device_drv->dd_info, i, 
          &device_drv->mt_buffer->channel[i].array[CMD_GET_DEMAND]);


   for (cmd = CMD_GET_FIRST; cmd <= CMD_GET_LAST; cmd++) {
 (..)
311:  device_drv->mt_buffer->channel[current_channel].array[cmd] = value;

   for (cmd = CMD_GET_FIRST; cmd <= CMD_GET_LAST; cmd++) {
 (..)
340:  device_drv->mt_buffer->channel[i].array[cmd] = value;


CMD_GET_DEMAND is in include/midas.h:
#define CMD_GET_DEMAND               CMD_GET_DIRECT  // = 20

I haven't even tried to understand mfe.c, nor did I read it. 
But I suspect the thing should always be something like
....array[cmd-CMD_GET_FIRST]
so array[] is indexed from [0], not from an arbitrary number that
depends on the number of commands you insert before line 698 in
midas.h. But please could the author of this check this very carefully?


(4)=========================
src/lazylogger.c:1957: warning: array subscript is below array bounds

if ((channel < 0) && (lazyinfo[channel].hKey != 0))

That is lazyinfo[something below zero].


(5)=============================
More warnings an expert might want to have a look at:

* warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

* src/fal.c:106: warning: non-local variable '<anonymous struct> out_info'
                 uses anonymous type
* src/fal.c:3064: warning: non-local variable '<anonymous struct> eb' uses
                  anonymous type

I attach the full output of make.
Could someone knowledgeable please have a look at these warnings and fix them?

They make me a bit nervous when thinking about data integrity, and
there are now so many that they actually start to hide serious stuff
like the ones I presented.

Oh, I got rid of the "dereferencing type-punned pointer" thing by adding
"-fno-strict-aliasing" as a compiler flag. Was suggested on the Web. Seemed to 
have worked during data taking (the data look reasonable :-). Is that a 
possible fix/workaround?


Cheers,

Randolf

  451   02 Mar 2008 Exaos LeeSuggestionBash Script for handling an experiment code
I rearanged the files in "examples/experiment" as the attached "mtest_exp.zip". I re-write the start/stop script as the attached "daq.sh". The script "daq.sh" can be re-used for many experiments. The user only needs to provide an script "daq_env.sh" as the following containing the settings for the experiment environment.
#!/bin/sh

[ ! "$MIDASSYS" ] && MIDASSYS=/opt/MIDAS.PSI/Version/Current
[ ! "$HTTPPORT" ] && HTTPPORT=8080
[ ! "$SRVHOST" ]  && SRVHOST=localhost
LOGGER=${MIDASSYS}/bin/mlogger

EXPPATH=/home/das/online/test
CODEPATH=${EXPPATH}/code
LOGGER=${MIDASSYS}/bin/mlogger

PROG_FE=${CODEPATH}/frontend
PROG_ANA=${CODEPATH}/analyzer

if [ ! "$MIDAS_EXPTAB" ]; then
	MIDAS_DIR=${EXPPATH}
else
	MIDAS_EXPT_NAME="test"
fi


I hope this can be helpful. Smile There seem to be some problems such as:
1. When several experiments are defined, the $LOGGER may be not the one used for this exp.
2. The "pidof" may be not in some platforms, so this script is limited.

Hope anybody can help me to improve it for general purpose. All my best!

option in Makefile pymidas users would have to build it themselves.

What I proposed though is that you change Makefile so it builds libmidas.so in
addition to (not instead of) static library. So if someone prefer to build
binaries statically they
may continue to do so. On other hand when someone needs a shared library they won't 
discover that it can't be easily built.

From "history" pages, the "create elog" button stopped working - it takes us to the elog entry form, but 
then, the "submit" button does not create any elog entries, instead dumps us into an invalid history

A request was made to remove cnaf_callback.o from libmidas as it creates a unwanted dependency on the CAMAC 
hardware driver when libmidas.so is used in programs that do not use CAMAC.

After looking around, it appears that removing cnaf_callback.o from libmidas would not break anything critical, 
other than CAMAC frontends that would fail to link with an obvious and easy to fix error.

I am leaving cnaf_callback.o in the Makefile - so it will be built and placed in linux/lib/cnaf_callback.o for anybody 
who wants to use it.

Hi, Denis - I confirm that cnaf_callback.c is only used by MIDAS frontends that implement CAMAC
functions and that it should not required for building the MIDAS library. I am now looking at removing 
it from libmidas.

> I propose that libmidas.so is built by default, so when something breaks it won't go unnoticed

We have been through this before and decided that shared libraries are bad and we do not want to use 
them. The option for building libmidas.so was preserved, though.

Not to refight old wars, on reason against using shared libraries was version skew - one could never be 
sure what version of midas is being used - depending on the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rpath settings, 
etc. There were other reasons, perhaps practical, perhaps with the mserver.

The main problem with "just build it", is that then the rest of midas will link against it bringing back all 
the problems we solved by going away from using shared libraries.

So back to your proposal about building libmidas.so - can you look and see if you can do the Python 
bindings with a statically linked midas library?

I know it is possible with Perl bindings - perl creates it's own shared library containing perl api glue 
linked against a foreign static library libfoo.a , so in theory, the shared library is not needed.

But perhaps, Python do things differently...

It turns out that the program was tested as originally committed. With the above
modification, it corrupts ODB - originally, it used the wrong array element size to create
the wrong array. Corrected, it creates the right array with the wrong size, then
subsequent db_set_data_index() happily corrupts ODB.

Fix for mhttpd committed as svn revision 4128.
Fix for ODB corruption committed at svn revision 4129 (also fixes extract_key())

The second version won't work if mhttpd is run under an Apache proxy. Assume the proxy redirects

http://proxy.ca/midas

to

http://daq.ca:8080

If you now do a redirect to "/?cmd=programs", you will end up at

http://proxy.ca/?cmd=programs

which is now what you want. I tried to put a "./?cmd=programs", and that bings you to

http://proxy.ca/midas/./?cmd=programs

which is correctly redirected to

http://daq.ca:8080/?cmd=programs

I tried with the windows version (ughhh) of Safari and it worked for me. So give it a try, the change is committed.

What happes is an endless redirect from xxxx -> xxxx?cmd=Programs. So in the end you have

http://url.ca?cmd=programs?cmd=programs?cmd=programs?cmd=programs....

and in the end you get a stack overflow, which busts all.

I changed both butting FALSE there and adding

   if (strchr(name, '?'))
      *strchr(name, '?') = 0;

which keeps the URL short.

So for me it looks fine at the moment, but I cannot guarantee that everything works, so keep an eye open on that.

-D under linux means:

       -D     create all leading components of DEST except the last, then
              copy SOURCE to DEST; useful in the 1st format

This means if you install the first time, and eithe SYSBIN_DIR or `basename is not existing, it will be created on-the-fly from
the install program. If OSX does not support this, you somehow have to crate these subdirectories manually.
