v0.9.11 breaks texlive on darwin
Hi again,
Not sure if this is the same issue as #498 or not, but on nixpkgs and darwin, when we use #497 and ignore #498, libfaketime returns err 137, at least when use it to build texlive:
texlive> fmtutil: running `faketime -f '@1980-01-01 00:00:00 x0.001' luatex -ini -jobname=dvilualatex -progname=dvilualatex dvilualatex.ini' ...
texlive> fmtutil [ERROR]: running `faketime -f '@1980-01-01 00:00:00 x0.001' luahbtex -ini -jobname=luahbtex -progname=luahbtex luatex.ini </dev/null' return status: 137
texlive> fmtutil [ERROR]: returning error due to option --strict
cc. @usertam, as I understood that you are working on this already
Hello! For context I was the person who did the 0.9.10 update in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/206860, but at that time didn't add myself to maintainers. A few days ago I was trying to do the same for 0.9.11, but I realized that most things broke and there are no good easy fixes, so I filed this: https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/497, and did not bother to touch anything in nixpkgs.
The PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/412913 should never be merged in the first place since the release is broken and nothing is tested on platforms other than x86_64-linux, but I wasn't a maintainer so I wasn't aware.
As of now, the aarch64-darwin build will crap itself and throw Trace/BPT trap: 5 when being loaded by dyld. It's completely broken.
And as I said already in https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/497, that PR alone will NOT fix building on darwin. This commit https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/488/commits/2503b0fffc19268396dbf4fa60071e1e04ef9908 must be reverted or changed in some way that does not break darwin, or BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBPLATFORM: Trying to recursively lock an os_once_t will continue to happen.
I will continue to work on this when I am free during the weekend, but anyone is welcome to file a PR to fix the above issue. And thanks for pinging me about the issue. :D
Hello, for interested people can you test https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/500? I am hoping it will fix this indirectly 🙏
Edit: I also created a PR at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/414782 with the fixes included.
