Description:
gs-esp - The Ghostscript PostScript interpreter - ESP version
Changes:
gs-esp (7.07.1-9ubuntu5) breezy; urgency=low
.
* Fix coredumping bug on ppc: Ubuntu bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13771
This is the same issue as
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687643
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687730
discussed in
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-code-review/2004-September/004649.html
and probably the same as Debian bug #324796 and perhaps others in
Debian's gs-esp.
.
This bug is due to gs's incorrect assumption that (where ref is an
important struct inside gs) sizeof(ref) % alignof(jmp_buf) == 0. This
is not true on ppc and apparently not necessarily on Itanium either.
.
The `fix' I have applied is to wrap setjmp/longjmp up in macros which
arrange for jmp_buf to have alignment 1, as sketched out in the URLs
above. A previous attempt to fix it by padding ref out to the
alignment of jmp_buf failed and I don't know why; but I suspect other
unjustified assumptions in gs.
.
GhostScript's algorithms ought to be repaired not to assume
falsehoods.
