Re: Trying to Install/Build log4cxx on Solaris
Hi David,
Concerning your Solaris problem with the shared libraries and statics init, we found that this happened to us
due to incomplete statics init (because libraries were not completely loaded into memories). This was caused by the fact that a library using the logging library
had a static logger which init itself in the cpp file using something like LogManager::instance()->getLogger();
That caused a problem between the statics of the two libraries, the calling and the called.
As a result we enforce our users to do lazy init, by first initing the static logger member pointer to 0, and only
when actually logging creating it for the first time (or you can also do it in the ctor, but we wanted to hide all that implementation
details within our own thin layer macros we provide, one for creating a static member and a getLogger() method, one for initing it in the cpp file to zero
, and several logging macros which call getLogger() underneath - the user never uses this logger member directly)
Anyway, see if that approach solves your problem or whether the problem is actually internal order of static init inside log4cxx.
Concerning the asm code, we discovered that the safest way for us on all shared libraries is building them without the -xarch flag at all.
But this meant we had to remove the asm code completely - We now have a working stable (so far) version using DOMConfigurator, though
the PropertyConfigurator crashed on Solaris' AtomicAdd (the one used by "stdmutex.h" file) - that happens when stl string deletes itself by decrementing
its reference count. We are still searching for the reasons for this behaviour.
Lastly, concerning the putenv, I did not know it behaves differently on Solaris and other systems (or does it always expect a dynamically allocated memory?)
Thanks for telling me - I'll probably need to change my testing code.
Cheers,
Barak

Please respond to

hi Barak,
I'm using the Sun Workshop compiler and have successfully built log4cxx.
I used the following configure options to build a debug version (You can
just replace "-g" to get optimized build.)
configure CC=CC CXX=CC CXXFLAGS="-g -mt -KPIC -xarch=v8plusa"
Here is my CC version string:
CC: Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113817-07 2004/03/23
To make it link properly, I had to make a small source file change to
thread.cpp:
I made the function asm_code() NOT static. I could not link when this
function was declared static.
I noticed a few problems on Solaris with the CC compiler.
1. Lots of compile warnings. I looked at a few and they seem harmless
and easy to clean up.
2. I think there is a bug in timezone.cpp. The code calls putenv() to
set the TZ environment variable. The code passes an automatic variable
to putenv which gets destroyed. On Sun (and other UNIXes) this is a bad
thing to do. You're not supposed to free the memory you pass to putenv.
The result is a corrupted environment.
3. I have not been able to use shared libraries successfully. I crash,
and I suspect it's due to static initialization problems.
I hope this is helpful,
David Vasconcelos
