Bug #15638 warning from zend_execute.c while running inconv()
Submitted: 2002-02-19 20:34 UTC Modified: 2002-02-20 11:17 UTC
From: jan at horde dot org Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: ICONV related
PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-02-19 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2002-02-19 20:34 UTC] jan at horde dot org
I get this warning message while trying to run iconv():

Warning:  String is not zero-terminated (before?afterZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?̏*p) (source: ./zend_execute.c:449) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/headhorde/iconv.php on line 9

PHP is compiled against the latest inconv library.

This test script reproduces the messages:

<pre>
<?
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  $src = 'ISO-8859-1';
  $dst = 'ISO-8859-2';
  $j = 0;
  for($i=1;$i<=255;$i++) {
          $tst = sprintf('before%cafter',$i);
          $rc=iconv($src,$dst,$tst);
          if (strlen($rc) == 0) {
                  print "$i fail";
                  $j++;
                }
                print "\n";
  }
  print "total failed: $j";
?>

I committed a fix for this to CVS, but was not be able to test it. Would you be so kind to take the honors?

The warnings have dispappeared. Now there's no output generated at all, but that's another problem.

You mean it's a problem in your script and not in PHP? In that case, please close this bug.
 [2002-02-20 08:32 UTC] jan at horde dot org
No, it's still an iconv/php problem but I have to investigate further. If you look at the test script you see that it should generate ANY output. And there are no segfaults. Hm.
 [2002-02-20 08:35 UTC] derick@php.net
Did you compile with or without debug?

Derick
 [2002-02-20 08:52 UTC] jan at horde dot org
With. But unfortunately my apache is without.
 [2002-02-20 09:44 UTC] jan at horde dot org
If anyone can get use of it, this is the strace result. If I interpret it correctly there is a segfault but it isn't reported in the apache logs.

I'm just recompiling PHP with iconv support to check it out. Assinging to myself.

Now it's fixed (i hope :)

Yes, seems to be working now again. Thanks!
Now I can start doing something useful with it. :-)

Just to let you know, compiling gave me the following warning but it seems to be harmless:
iconv.c: In function `php_iconv_string':
iconv.c:162: warning: passing arg 2 of `libiconv' from incompatible pointer type
 [2002-02-27 02:15 UTC] itai at siftology dot com
The latest changes in ext/iconv/iconv.c (rev. 1.27, 1.28)
are wrong. I suggest to revert to version 1.26 and then
apply the right fix (below).
I sent that patch but failed to verify that it was
applied correctly to CVS (I have it applied to php-4.0.6
on my runnung system).

        *out_len = out_size - out_left;
-       out[*out_len] = '\0';
+       out_buffer[*out_len] = '\0';
     icv_close(cd);

     return SUCCESS;
----
Writing the null byte to out[*out_len] is actually
assigining a NULL pointer at some random location
and may cause a seg. fault or other weird behavior.
On a second thought, this should work just as well:
   *out_p = '\0';

Using calloc instead of malloc is less efficient as it
needs to zero all the bytes in the returned string.
Adding 1 to the length (as the hange in 1.28) actually
increases the length of the result - which is not what
we wanted. Try this small program to see the result:
<?
  $src = 'ISO-8859-1';
  $dst = 'ISO-8859-2';

  $f = "Hello world.";
  $t = iconv($src,$dst,$f);

  printf("strlen('%s') = %d\nstrlen('%s') = %d\n",
        $f, strlen($f),
        $t, strlen($t));

?>
