[llvm-ar] Fix support for archives with members larger than 4GB
ClosedPublic

Authored by gbreynoo on Jul 22 2019, 7:25 AM.

Details

Summary

llvm-ar outputs a strange error message when handling archives with members larger than 4GB due to not checking file size when passing the value as an unsigned 32 bit integer. This overflow issue caused malformed archives to be created.:

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38058

This change allows for members above 4GB and will error in a case that is over the formats size limit, a 10 digit decimal integer.

I am curious why you want to handle a file whose size is within [4294967296,9999999999] (4G is a bit unusual as a binary. But you don't allow it to be larger..).

I have not included a test for this change due to how large the test files would need to be.

In the past we have had a user that required support for members larger 4gb, and when experimenting with gnu-ar on my Ubuntu machine, it supports members over that size.

The maximum size value 9999999999 is a limit of the file format itself. The file size in bytes is stored as a 10 digit decimal integer, meaning MaxMemberSize is the largest member size the format supports.

I tried patching this, and it looks like you have \r\n endings that conflict w/ the checked in \n. Did you use --config core.autocrlf=false on your initial clone? (http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#getting-started-quickly-a-summary)

The patch tests out fine when piping through dos2unix (there's probably an equivalent on Windows), so LGTM if you can strip \r before submitting

Thanks rupprecht, I'll fix my clone before committing.
