Bug 173939 – REGRESSION (r218616, r225179): Cannot build WebCore for macOS 10.12 with macOS 10.13 SDK (missing _CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Daniel Bates]

The SPI CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage(), used in the patch for bug #173300, was removed from the macOS 10.13 and iOS 11 SDKs. When targeting macOS 10.12/iOS 10 we should not compile code that invokes CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage(). Otherwise, WebCore will fail to link as the symbol for CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage() does not exist in binaries included in the macOS 10.13 and iOS 11 SDKs.

It’s incorrect to have the code call a different function at runtime depending on what SDK was used at build time.

A correct fix for this bug would be to provide a declaration of the 10.12-era SPI, properly annotated for availability, when using the 10.13-era or later SDKs.

Ditto.

There are examples of this in AVKitSPI.h.

I think the CoreTextSPI.h side of this patch is all that’s needed.

With only the CoreTextSPI.h change I get the following linker error:

[[

      WebCore::lookupFallbackFont(__CTFont const*, WebCore::FontSelectionValue, WTF::AtomicString const&, unsigned short const*, unsigned int) in FontCacheCoreText.o

[Daniel Bates]

We likely need to take the approach as in Listing 3-3 in SDK Compatibility Guide: <https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/cross_development/Using/using.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002000-SW1>.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to do or under what circumstances this code would build successfully, then load successfully at runtime, but still need to do this check, but if there are such circumstances, then this is not a valid way to null-check a function pointer.

I was just mimicking the approach of Listing 3-3 in SDK Compatibility Guide: <https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/cross_development/Using/using.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002000-SW1> as well as respecting the note about explicit comparison to nullptr in section "Using Weakly Linked Methods, Functions, and Symbols" in the same guide <https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/cross_development/Using/using.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002000-SW4>. I take it that the advice in this guide is not applicable or out-of-date?

Correct, the advice may have been applicable to the developer tools available at the time the guide was published, but it is not applicable to the compilers that are currently in use.

One option is, iff building for macOS 10.12 with the macOS 10.13 SDK (when building WebKit for iOS, we don’t support targeting an older version than the SDK), to add -Wl,-U,_CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage to WebCore’s OTHER_LDFLAGS. I think that this is acceptable, because trunk WebCore builds targeting macOS 10.12 are not meant to be included in the dyld shared cache.

I believe that another option involves creating and using a .tbd file for Core Text that exports the missing symbols and reexports the real Core Text from the SDK. I’ve experimented with this technique in the past, but haven’t tried to apply it to this case.

I did not mean to ignore your comment. Your "SPIs are forever" (*) ;) solution would fix this bug. I do not know if such a request would be entertained (we could try) or set a good precedent.

(*) Does not need to be forever. At least one release.

[Myles C. Maxfield]

Or we could soft link.

Whichever option you two come up with is fine with me.

Can you please elaborate on your last sentence. Does your last sentence imply that if we add to OTHER_LDFLAGS we will not crash with a dyld error when trying to invoke CTFontCreatePhysicalFontForCharactersWithLanguage() on macOS 10.13 using a WebCore built targeting macOS 10.12?

Would this technique prevent the crash mentioned above?

No. Using a WebKit build targeting one macOS version on a different macOS version is not supported.

No.

[Myles C. Maxfield]

Another option is we could ask CoreText to put a #define in their headers which represents the presence of this symbol. Then we could test for it.

What’s the advantage of this approach over letting the linker resolve this without writing additional code?

This build failure was caused by changeset r225179, <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/225179/> (bug #180011). Committed fix in <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/225757/>.

Broken yet again on Sierra?

Sorry, looks like <https://trac.webkit.org/r227156> broke it. It should be easy to fix.

Should be fix with <https://trac.webkit.org/r227376>.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Do we even still care to support cross-compiling in this manner? Is there a need?

[Ross Kirsling]

The intention isn't to cross-compile but simply to have the build succeed on Sierra.

Unfortunately, our IT department continues to disallow upgrading to High Sierra for the time being.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Indeed, it's valid to expect that WebKit builds with the latest shipping Xcode, so I guess we need to keep caring. But practically speaking, it may be easiest to downgrade to Xcode 8, as that includes a matching SDK for macOS Sierra.
