Call for vote on Xerces-C 3.2.2 release

[Cantor, Scott]

I would like to call for a vote to release the RC3 artifact built from svn revision 1840539 as V3.2.2. It's published and signed at [1].

The release notes are at [2].

The issues are build related for the most part, nothing substantive.

I'll hold the vote open through the weekend, as next week is the soonest I can do the upload of a release.

This is my +1.

Hello,

Don't know whether it's wise or appropriate to vote +1 and also report an error (minor): on a clean and up-to-date cygwin (windows 10, x86_64, pre-2.11.2), i had to remove the two lines:
template class ArrayJanitor<XMLByte>;
template class ArrayJanitor<XMLCh>;
in
src/xercesc/util/JanitorExports.cpp
to be able to build successfully, otherwise, i don't know why, i get:
xercesc/util/JanitorExports.cpp:22:16: error: duplicate explicit instantiation of 'class xercesc_3_2::ArrayJanitor<unsigned char>' [-fpermissive]
template class ArrayJanitor<XMLByte>;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
xercesc/util/JanitorExports.cpp:23:16: error: duplicate explicit instantiation of 'class xercesc_3_2::ArrayJanitor<char16_t>' [-fpermissive]
template class ArrayJanitor<XMLCh>;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you building with the autotools build or the cmake build?

There are two cygwin variants tested with cmake here for :

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/xerces-c/build/1.0.66
for the latest commit
(https://github.com/apache/xerces-c/commits/trunk), which are building
without error at present, at least within the AppVeyor build
environment. It's possible there may be some system-specific cause of
the failure, but it would require further details and investigation to
try and reproduce.

If you didn't try building with cmake on cygwin, could you possibly try
that out? You'll need the libcurl-devel and cmake cygwin packages
installing.


Regards,
Roger

That's autotools and since I maintain those scripts and don't support cygwin, you shouldn't expect them to work there. You'd best use cmake, whether it fixes this particular case or not.

The equivalent for testing would be:

cmake -Dnetwork=OFF -Dtranscoder=iconv /path/to/xerces/source
make

This build (with make as indicated, plus -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) is ok. However, after 'make install', there is a dangling libxerces-c.so symlink towards cygxerces-c-3-2.dll not installed (but present in build directory).
Trying to use this installation fails with many many missing references (transcode etc.). I need to figure out what is wrong.

Forgot to mention that i also tried to build on Linux 32bits (Debian 7), solaris 2.10 and darwin 17.7.0, and succeeded with no problem.

I haven't gotten any votes, but given that and the fact that there was at least one complaint, I'll declare a "mistrial" and await further instructions.

I have no dog in the hunt due to there being no fixes of relevance to my work so just give a shout and I'll restart another vote and/or upload another try.

I am ready to vote but wanted to see a resolution to the build issue.

I thought Scott addressed this in his earlier reply: "That's autotools
and since I maintain those scripts and don't support cygwin, you
shouldn't expect them to work there. You'd best use cmake, whether it
fixes this particular case or not."

Looking at the configure logic, the Cygwin-specific bits appear to have
been touched last in 2005 and 2008. There isn't any testing in place
for it, and what support there is quite possibly bitrotted. Any
regressions to the Autotools Cygwin support were not introduced in this
point release.

The CMake support for Cygwin and MinGW is routinely tested and verified
to work.
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/xerces-c/build/1.0.66
is the latest test for the 3.2.2 release candidate, and you can see it's
building and passing all the tests with both. So all the sources are
working fine with Cygwin and MinGW and we do properly support these
platforms. But not with the Autotools.

Given that it's possible to build on Cygwin and MinGW with CMake, I'm
loath to spend further time on the Autotools build for these platforms
given that they are a bit niche and there's little additional benefit to
be gained. If anyone really cares for it, I would hope they would do
the work and provide the patches.


Kind regards,
Roger

I obviously favor that perspective, I just wanted to allow anybody else to weigh in (and since nobody had voted, I was stuck anyway).

I'm still comfortable with my +1 and if you're satisfied I wouldn't see any reason to change out the artifact.

Once a project reaches this state, it's self-fulfilling because it's obviously not sensible to jump onto a dying library with new applications. If I could feasibly jump I would, but I have too much code, and an entire XML Security library with a dependency on it. And luckily for others that means I have to maintain it, to a limited degree.

I'll hold the vote open until EOB Eastern Time for any objections.

Thanks,

Maybe I'm a bit late to the party, but configure fails when configuring for a cross-compile platform:

Running

export CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hf-
./configure CFLAGS=-O3 CXXFLAGS=-O3 -host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-transcoder-iconv

fails with

checking for wcsrtombs... configure: error: in `/home/user/cross/xerces-c':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling

because the lines 231 and 253

AC_RUN_IFELSE( [AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[#include <wchar.h>

try to *run* the code compiled with the target gcc on the host system, which is apparently failing.

Replacing both AC_RUN_IFELSE by AC_COMPILE_IFELSE was a workaround for me.

More to the point, I don't support or care about cross compiles either, and wouldn't hold a release for them.

In any case, having gotten > 3 +1 votes and no objections, I'll call this approved and release it today. I'll give Roger the green light to update the site when I get the upload done.
