[Bug Report] loadenv module

[Bug Report] loadenv module

[Yves Blusseau]

Hi,

i have compiled the current version of grub2 under OSX. I have an  
error when using the loadenv module:
I don't have any grub.cfg file. When i was at the prompt i do a  
save_env timeout and grub return me an "out of partition" error.

I have created a newly grubenv with grub-editenv command before the  
test.

I have check under qemu and OSX: same error. I was using a GPT drive  
and the grubenv file is in a hfsplus partition.

If i set a value with grub-editenv and try to load it from grub with  
the load_env command, all is working well and the variable is import  
in the environement.

Best regards,
Yves Blusseau

Another usefull information, the problem came from loadenv module  
compiled on OSX because if i take only the loadenv.mod compiled on  
linux it's work.

Hi,

This might be caused by some bug in objconv, you could try my github
repo that uses native converter and see if the problem is still there.

Hi,

if i add TARGET_CC=gcc-4.2 at the configure arguments the problem  
disappear. I check with valgrind and gdb and the prb seems to be in  
the function check_blocklists in commands/loadenv.c

Yves
