Bug #1964: Compile Issue on Solaris 10
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1964

Author: Brian Toal
Status: Open, Priority: High
ruby -v: 1.9.1

I'm trying to compile ruby-1.9.1-p243 on Solaris 10.

$ uname -a
SunOS condor 5.10 Generic_141414-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

Running make I get the following error:

$ make
cc -I. -I../../.ext/include/sparc-solaris2.10 -I../.././include 
-I../.././ext/openssl -DRUBY_EXTCONF_H=\"extconf.h\" 
-I/tcg/tcg_app/tools/include -I/tcg/tcg_app/openssl/rel/include   -KPIC 
-fast -xarch=v9 -xcode=pic32 -g -I/usr/sfw/include    -o ossl_asn1.o -c 
ossl_asn1.c
"ossl_asn1.c", line 704: improper member use: ptr
"ossl_asn1.c", line 704: improper member use: len
"ossl_asn1.c", line 987: improper member use: ptr
"ossl_asn1.c", line 987: improper member use: len
cc: acomp failed for ossl_asn1.c
make: *** [ossl_asn1.o] Error 2

What does "improper member use" mean and how do I resolve this?

I forgot to include the compile options and environment variables that I 
used.

./configure --prefix=/tcg/tcg_app/ruby/1.9.1-p243 --without-gcc

export PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:$PATH

export CC=cc
export CXX=CC
export CFLAGS="-fast -xarch=v9 -xcode=pic32"
export CXXFLAGS="-fast -xarch=v9 -xcode=pic32"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/tools/include -I$HOME/openssl/rel/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/tools/lib"

You're not supporting Solaris the OS? Or the Sun compiler? Or OpenSSL on
Solaris?

OS and its environment.

We don't have them, so we can't reproduce problems arround them.
This is why those are not supported.

If you have a patch and it clearly doesn't have side effects,
the patch may be imported.

'-xarch=v9' (or its modern replacement '-m64') appears to be 
problematic. Without CFLAGS as specified above, Sun's C compiler can 
create the ruby binary just fine.

If I had more time to investigate, I might, but for now, that's the 
answer to this problem.

File 1964-proposed-fix.diff added

This is a bug ext/openssl/ruby_missing.h where the rb_str_set_len macro 
didn't take into account changes in 'struct RString' from 1.8 to 1.9. 
Attached is  a proposed fix with corrects the problem.

Priority changed from High to Normal

1.9 has rb_str_set_len in ruby.h, so the definition is not used.

Someone tell ext/openssl then, it is still using its own private 
erroneous macro. ;)
