 24 May 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, added ubuntu 22 arm64 cross-compilation
|
Ubuntu 22 has almost everything necessary to cross-build arm64 MIDAS frontends:
# apt install g++-12-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-12-aarch64-linux-gnu-base libstdc++-12-dev-arm64-cross

11 Oct 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, added support for ucLinux
|
Support for building for ucLinux was added to MIDAS. I use the emcraft toolchain and userland on
some kind of embedded ARM CPU that does not have an MMU. See the Makefile for details. The
main difference of ucLinux is lack of fork(), which cannot be done without an MMU. Not everything

Since we have been regularly running into problems with db_get_xxx(TID_STRING) and string buffers of mismatched size,
I now implemented db_get_value_string(hdb, hkey, key_name, index, &string, create).

Just some thought for discussion:
Rather than "spicing up" the MIDAS library here and there with C++ objects such as std::string, wouldn't it make more sense to "cleanly" wrap an ODB value |

clients can connect to MIDAS using both IPv4 and IPv6. In the default

02 Apr 2008, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, add "const" attributes to db_xxx() functions
|
Now that we use more and more C++, lack of "const" attribute on most midas functions is causing some
problems. I am now ready to commit changes to midas.h and odb.c that add the const attributes to ODB
access functions db_xxx(), i.e.

not again! I complained about this before, and I added a fix, but it must be broken again.

Have you actually been able to read /etc/passwd this way? I tested this on a few of our servers and it does not work. As far as I know, there is access
to files in resources, custom pages etc.

26 Jul 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, abort on buffer overflow in odb.c::merge_records()
|
The odb.c function merge_records() has a fixed size array of 10000 bytes to handle the data and it
aborts with an assert() if passed data bigger than that. It is called from db_create_record() which
already allocates a data buffer of correct size for it's operations.

05 May 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, abort and core dump in cm_disconnect_experiment()
|
I noticed that some programs like mhist, if they take too long, there is an abort and core dump at the very end. This is because they forgot to
set/disable the watchdog timeout, and they got remove from odb and from the SYSMSG event buffer.
