  68267   Fri Feb 26 08:47:22 2016 Warning Nigel Warrwarr@ikp.uni-koeln.deBug reportLinux3.1.1-1Possible bug in elogd execute_shell

I was just playing around with gcc6's new feature for warning about misleading indentation (which can often hide real bugs) and I think it found one in elog-3.1.1-1 at src/elogd.c:22538. Here there is an if statement, which looks as though it should be inside a loop, but it isn't. The code is:

      for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
         generate_subdir_name(att_file[i], subdir, sizeof(subdir));
         if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strl$
             < sizeof(shell_cmd) + 1)
{
            strcpy(p, "\"");
            strcat(p, lbs->data_dir);
            strlcat(str, subdir, sizeof(str));
            strlcpy(str, att_file[i], sizeof(str));
            str_escape(str, sizeof(str));
            strcat(p, str);
            strcat(p, "\" ");
            p += strlen(p);
         }

and the if statment is accessing the loop variable i but it is actually outside the loop. Presumably, there should be some more curly brackets here. gcc6 gave the warning:

src/elogd.c: In function ‘execute_shell’:
src/elogd.c:22538:10: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
          if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strlen(subdir) + strlen(att_file[i])
          ^~
src/elogd.c:22536:7: note: ...this ‘for’ clause, but it is not
       for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
       ^~~

Hi Jimmy, no Kerberos is not compiled into the Windows installer. You are the first one asking for that under Windows. All other Kerberos users use Linux so far. You have to compile the Windows version yourelf. This is because there are several versions of Kerberos around and people need differnt libraries. Sorry for that.

Kerberos support is not compiled into the binary RPM. You have to comile from sources to get that. The reason is that there are different Kerberos libraries around, and different people need different ones.

Cool, I didn't know that trick myself, thanks for sharing.

It is possible for normal string attributes: the regular expression pattern "^$" can be used to search for an empty string.
E.g. in this Forum "ELOG Version" is a required attribute, and should never be empty. But if you search for:
you'll find a couple of entries from a time where it apparently wasn't a required attribute.
