While adding new functionality to submit_elog() (add the message text to the
outgoing email), I noticed that the email text is being stored into an array
of size 256, mail_text[256], without any checks for array overrun. This

12 Oct 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , Refuse to set run number zero
|
I am debugging the frequent problem where the run number is mysteriously
reset to zero. As a first step, I am commiting changes to mhttpd.c and midas.c:
- abort on obviously corrupted "run number < 0"

|
Invalid values of ODB /RunInfo/State cause mhttpd crash in
show_status_page() because of an out of bounds access to the array of state
names. Suggest this fix: remove array of state names, use existing ladder of

02 Sep 2003, Pierre-André Amaudruz, , minor fix, window build
|
- makefile.nt (/examples/experiment, /hbook)
adjusted for local hmana.obj build as for rmana.obj, add cvs tag for
revision comment entry.

27 Aug 2003, Pierre-André Amaudruz, , Operation under 1.9.3 with the analyzer 
|
1) Prior upgrading midas to 1.9.3, make sure you've saved your ODB in ASCII
format using "odbedit> save my_odb.odb", as the internal structure is
incompatible with previous version. You will be able to restore it once
|
|
19 Aug 2003, Pierre-André Amaudruz, , minor fixes, new tarball 1.9.3-1
|
- add pthread lib to examples/... makefile
- fix ybos_simfe.c for max_event_size
- fix camacnul.c for cam_inhibit_test(), cam_interrupt_test()

|
29 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , Have to link with -lpthread?
|
It appears that all midas applications are now required to link with the
pthreads library even if they do not use threads. This is caused by a
pthread_create() call from ss_thread_create() in system.c.
|
|
30 Jul 2003, David Morris, , Have to link with -lpthread?
|
The change is required to support implementation of pthreads in the Linux
compile of Midas. This was added recently. I believe pthreads is also needed
for ROOT based compiles.
|
|
26 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , use "odbedit -C" to connect to corrupted ODB
|
Add switch "-C" to odbedit to allow it to connect to corrupted ODB. Then,
depending on corruption, the user can manually remove or correct the
corrupted entries. Also, some corruption is automatically fixed by "odbedit"
|
|
26 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , more ODB checks in src/odb.c
|
Add more checks to db_validate_key() for pkey->total_size, item_size and
num_values. Automatically correct total_size to be item_size*num_values (we
saw this corruption and tested this fix).
