Document FreeBSD quirk.
Fix FreeBSD build: Cast to int to allow std::min to work under FreeBSD.

fanquake · 2018-06-19T14:14:14Z

So this was originally applied in #2695:

When compiling on FreeBSD, the calculation here returns an unsigned int. This causes a compile-time error with std::min, which cannot compare signed with unsigned integers.
This pull inserts an explicit cast, treating the calculated value as signed, keeping the compiler happy.

Then reverted in #9598 to:

Improve readability by removing redundant casts to same type (on all platforms)

Now we're re-adding (int) again but only for FreeBSD.

I've just built master (3f398d7) successfully on a FreeBSD 11.1 VM, so I'm curious to know which version of FreeBSD this is broken on?

Regardless of the above, the current patch doesn't compile:

fvisibility=hidden -c -o libbitcoin_server_a-init.o `test -f 'init.cpp' || echo './'`init.cpp
init.cpp:969:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #fi
 #fi
  ^~
init.cpp:964:0: error: unterminated #else
 #if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__DragonFly__)
 
make[2]: *** [libbitcoin_server_a-init.o] Error 1
Makefile:5817: recipe for target 'libbitcoin_server_a-init.o' failed

@fanquake @ken2812221 Sorry about the bashism :-) Not fixed!

practicalswift · 2018-06-19T14:23:01Z

@fanquake Good question regarding FreeBSD version. @anton48, what FreeBSD version are you running?

practicalswift · 2018-06-19T14:25:16Z

If this is fixed in FreeBSD 11.1 I'm not sure we have a problem to solve :-)

practicalswift · 2018-06-19T14:28:01Z

Closing this temporarily while waiting for input from @anton48.

If we can reproduce under FreeBSD 11.1 I'll re-open.

anton48 · 2018-06-19T20:42:59Z

@practicalswift @fanquake the source of the problem is not a version of FreeBSD itself, but version of clang. currently there are two production versions of FreeBSD: 11.1 and 10.4. former contains clang 4, latter clang 3.4. "new" code in init.cpp can be compiled with clang 4, but not with 3.4.

@practicalswift your patch with "if defined(FreeBSD)" works for me at 10.3, 10.4 and 11.1.

fanquake · 2018-06-21T01:39:55Z

Thanks for following up @anton48.

Not sure if we want to add a FreeBSD specific "work around", or if we should just revert the init.cpp change from #9598.

maflcko · 2018-06-21T01:54:25Z

Agree with @fanquake.

Having different code for each platform makes testing a nightmare. Btw. I believe you can specify the function template you want to call with std::min<type>(a,b)

practicalswift · 2018-06-21T07:33:39Z

@fanquake @MarcoFalke Thanks for reviewing. Feedback addressed. Please re-review :-)

@anton48 Can you confirm that the updated version works as expected for you?

anton48 · 2018-06-21T07:55:22Z

@practicalswift by updated version you mean nMaxConnections = std::max(std::min<int>(nMaxConnections, FD_SETSIZE - nBind - MIN_CORE_FILEDESCRIPTORS - MAX_ADDNODE_CONNECTIONS), 0);? yes, it can be compiled without errors on FreeBSD (tested on 10 and 11 versions).

practicalswift · 2018-06-21T08:13:15Z

@anton48 Yes, that's the new version. Thanks for confirming.

laanwj · 2018-06-24T14:05:16Z

I'm confused. I build bitcoin core on FreeBSD all the time and have never needed this.
#2695 is ancient.

maflcko · 2018-06-24T14:18:59Z

The cast to int was only recently removed in master and I believe it only fails on FreeBSD 10, not 11.

utACK 629a47a for fixing the FreeBSD 10.x build.
As noted above, the issue comes from Clang 3.4
