Little bit better the second version of the patch, difficult to sort
out things with mailing list :-)

Apologies, I don't have context for this.  Why was I CC'd on this?

Does proc_pidpath() not NUL-terminate its written string?  And, given
from my quick google search, it looks like this function is private and
subject to change, so can you guarantee that the returned length is the
*written* length, not the full string length?  If not, you could be
overwriting other arbitrary data.

Good point even tough the libproc api is here in this form since quite a time.

Top-posting is difficult to read on technical lists; it's better to
reply inline.

Also, please don't remove the post content you are replying to...
Because then your answer doesn't make much sense out of context.

Ah, okay, thanks.  I haven't contributed much to qemu, so was curious.

Hi David,

proc_pidpath handler in the xnu kernel is indirectly calling
build_path_with_parent [1] and it includes NULL terminator into
buffersize, i.e. the patch seems to limit path length to one less
character than OS allows.

The change looks okay but it's not clear why it is needed [2].

Also, libproc.h [3] has this comment:

/*
 * This header file contains private interfaces to obtain process information.  
 * These interfaces are subject to change in future releases.
 */

But iTerm2 [4] an Chromium [5] are using it. An alternative (if it works
and IMO less appealing) would be to retrieve process path using AppKit [6].

Could you send new versions of the patch as their own emails
(ie not replies to the first one) with "[PATCH v2]" "[PATCH v3]"
etc in the subject line, please? Otherwise it gets tricky to
figure out which is the most recent version of the patch.

I think that if proc_pidpath() doesn't work we should fall back
to the "try argv[0]" code below, not return without initializing
exec_dir[]. This is what the existing Linux and BSD codepaths do.

I did a bit of searching to see whether there were any alternatives
to proc_pidpath(), and I found _NSGetExecutablePath(). This
function *is* documented:
 https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/System/Conceptual/ManPages_iPhoneOS/man3/dyld.3.html

Will it do what we want here? You'll need to call
realpath() on the results, and we should test that it
actually does better than just looking at argv[0] -- ie
that if you start QEMU via execve(/path/to/qemu,
argv_with_bogus_argv0, ...) then we get the /path/to/qemu,
not whatever the bogus argv0 value was.

There's also the "get the ui/cocoa.m code to find the path
via the AppKit API" approach that Roman suggested, though I
think that is more awkward than _NSGetExecutablePath() as
you'd need to get the ui/cocoa.m code to save the path for you.

If that doesn't work then I guess we can use proc_pidpath(),
but I'd rather avoid that if we can. If we do have to go that
route we should have a comment noting that it's an undocumented
and unsupported API but that it's also used by well-known
applications X, Y...

thanks
