pinentry Qt4 frontend broken with libc++
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

pinentry's Qt4 frontend doesn't compile on systems using libc++ (for instance
current releases of OS X.)

The problem at hand is that secqstring is defined as a std::basic_string with
CharT QChar.
libc++ has a static_assert in std::basic_string to ensure that the char type
given is POD (plain old data.)
libstdc++ does not, this is why the code is working there.

Unfortunately, secqstring is widely used within the code and can't be easily
replaced.

Any idea what to do, short of rewriting the whole Qt4 frontend?

Version
0.9.0

Event Timeline

Ionic set Version to 0.9.0.
Ionic added a subscriber: Ionic.

Does this still happen with 0.9.1 or 0.9.2 which will be released later the day.

Unfortunately, yes. Still happening with 0.9.2.

I am pretty sure this should be fixed with the current master version of pinentry.

This version does no longer use the std::string stuff as it uses the usual qt
widgets.

Feel free to reopen this bug but I am so sure about it that I'll mark it as
resolved now :-)

Thanks. I can confirm the issue being fixed, although I have only tested with
Qt4 (which this bug report is against, anyway.)

I probably need to get hacking on pinentry again, though, because your latest
changes do not allow explicit selection of Qt4 xor Qt5 and thus lead to
non-reproducible builds...

An option to explicitly disable qt5 was added as part of T2105
