Custom Query (1030 matches)

I've reproduced the problem with the binary release (1.7-r14925M) and also a rebuild from svn (1.7-r15146M). There is no such problem when using the 64 bit linux version. I've tested the LinuxX8632 in 32bit linux 2.6.32 (debian squeeze) and also 64bit install 3.0 (arch linux). The postgresql server is version 8.4 (not relevant).

steps to reproduce:

;; install latest postmodern somehow. 
;; I've tried the one from quicklisp dist and 
;; also the latest git version from 
;; http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/postmodern/#download

(ql:quicklisp :postmodern) 
(pomo:connect-toplevel "dbname" "user" "pass" "host")
(pomo:query "select '42'")

expected result: (("42")) <--- ok in sbcl and LinuxX8664 ccl

in LinuxX8632 ccl I get:

> Error: Database error: Unexpected end of file on #<BASIC-TCP-STREAM :CLOSED #x188F5736>
> While executing: (:INTERNAL #:G5027 CL-POSTGRES:EXEC-QUERY), in process listener(1).
> Type :POP to abort, :R for a list of available restarts.
> Type :? for other options.

At first it looks like a bug in the library, but tcpdump reveals mangled data in which the length of simple-describe-message packet is declared incorrectly as 1. This four byte length value in the packet's header is computed through define-message macro in postmodern/cl-postgres/messages.lisp.

During macro expansion it appears to correctly compute, but when it finally gets sent through (simple-describe-message socket) in cl-postgres:send-query, it's accessing some garbage.

Through defmacro integer-writer (postmodern/cl-postgres/communicate.lisp), a bunch of functions called uint1 uint2 uint4 etc are created which send bytes to socket through write-byte. I changed all the occurrences of write-byte in this macro to my-write-byte and defined

(defun my-write-byte (value socket)
  (format t "~a~%" value)
  (write-byte value socket))

I'm not sure if it's relevant but I also commented out all the #.optimize. After intercepting all the write-bytes with my-write-bytes, it dumps the value of each byte sent (for integer fields); when it comes to accessing the length it now dumps the following error

;;; (pomo:query "select '42'")
;; protocol.lisp (send-query ..

1 > q
;;;; length of message = 1 in 32bit ccl. 6 in sbcl and 64bit ccl

No backtrace is available. Last byte (least significant byte of the length value) should be 6, which tells postgresql that the packet is six bytes: 4 byte length field + 2 bytes of data. If I check the value of the length variable, "base-length", computed during macro expansion of define-message simple-describe-message, it appears correct (=6).

Sending the 0x00000001 as length of the packet naturally causes postgresql to output the following error to syslog: invalid message length and the connection is dropped.

If I repeat with gdb attached to the process I get:

I'm not certain but I'm inclined to believe this is a bug in ccl.

It would be very handy to have built-in functions for creating Open and Save panels, similar to MCL's CHOOSE-FILE-DIALOG and CHOOSE-NEW-FILE-DIALOG. These could be used by the IDE and made available to programmers, or they could be example code.

The initial screen of the Clozure CL Help says "The OpenMCL Doc directory is available [here]." But the link to [here] doesn't do anything. Clicking on it doesn't take you anywhere.

This is in the App Store version of the IDE. I don't know whether the link works in the version of the IDE that can be downloaded from the Clozure website.
