bug#26462: Fix crashes in programs using system ICU

[Clément Lassieur]

The first patch fixes system ICU.  This allows Icecat to use system ICU
without crashing, and it also fixes crashes in 0ad, which I'm working
on.

bug#26462: [PATCH 1/2] gnu: icu4c: Fix crashes in programs using system ICU.

[Clément Lassieur]

* gnu/packages/patches/icu4c-reset-keyword-list-iterator.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/icu4c.scm (icu4c)[source]: Use it.

Woow, good catch!

1,700 packages depend on icu4c so the update would have to go to
‘core-updates’, but that won’t be merged until several weeks.

For ‘master’, in the meantime, I see two solutions:

  1. If the bug only affects specific applications, we could add an
     icu4c variant and use that only where needed (icecat, 0ad, etc.).

  2. If the bug manifests itself pervasively we could graft it in
     ‘master’ (I guess it’s ABI-compatible, right?).

Thoughts?

Thank you for addressing it!

Ludo’.

I prefer the second solution, in case the bug appears in other
applications as well, and I think it is ABI-compatible.  I just sent the
patch for the graft in master.  I'll do the patch for core-updates
later, when master is merged into it.

But I might be wrong :)  If you think the first solution is better,
don't hesitate to tell me, I'll do another patch.

No no, I trust you!  I mean, making a graft in master is the safest
approach anyway.

They should probably be applied to core-updates.

Cool :)

Woooo. You picked up my 0ad work (or started from scratch)? I was stuck on mozjs38 for an eternity
and gave up.
Do you need further help or something? I unpublished the repo this was
in, so the last progress isn't public.

:-) I picked up your work, of course.  The mozjs issue is fixed (a patch
that was applied to the bundled mozjs had to be applied to the system
mozjs we use), and with this ICU patch, I can play!  I just played for
5min without a problem.  I just need to cleanup things, to package NVTT
(did you do it?), and then I can send the patch.

I'd like to have a look at your unpublished work, if this is possible.

I was wrong. It is published, I just moved the branch into my personal
main repo.
You can find it in the 'package/games/0ad' branch at
https://gitweb.pragmatique.xyz/pragmatique/guix.git/ (which will be
moved within the next few days/weeks to a pagure instance). Naming was
unfortunate, it is my personal "pick this up for inspiration or work" repo :)

Wow :) That is so exciting... really. And you only get to add the
package on top of every package list "0" and "a" once :D
I don't want to sound pushy or anything, I don't even know how much I
messed up or not, but it would be cool to mention me as co-authored
depending on the code :)
If you don't do it, it's fine aswell because I'm so happy you picked it up!

No, I left NVTT as "to do". But when I had an github account, I made
Nvidia publish a new release for NVTT. So it's just a matter of
packaging the NVTT dependencies. This should not block the 0ad package
commit in my opinion. As no release happened for a long time - until I requested them to
do so - every project which makes use of NVTT just bundled a working state of NVTT.

Of course I'll do it!  You did most of the work :)

Ok, so I'll let it as is if you think it's fine.
