Sad Libs Mac OS

The most popular streaming platform for Twitch, YouTube and Facebook. Cloud-based and used by 70% of Twitch. Grow with Streamlabs Open Broadcast Software (OBS), alerts, 1000+ overlays, analytics, chatbot, tipping, merch and more. Actually Mac OS X does have the concept of rpath. Previous to 10.4 there was only @executablepath which pointed to the location of the executable binary (as opposed to any dylibs that it loaded). @loaderpath was introduced in 10.4 which allowed dylibs to load dependencies based on their location (and not on the location of the executable. The easiest way to ensure that an application works correctly on both Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) and Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) is to provide two bundles: one with the Qt library built on Jaguar, the other with the Qt library built on Panther. If we do this, the application itself can be built on either version of Mac OS X.

Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one. We invented CrossOver software - a unique approach to cross-platform compatibility that does not require dual-boot or another OS license. This Sad Mac code indicates that an illegal instruction exception has occurred. A Sad Mac is an icon used by older-generation Apple Macintosh computers (using the Old World ROM since the original Macintosh 128K), to indicate that a severe hardware or software problem has prevented startup from occurring successfully.

A recent (and even more recently reverted) change to Homebrew highlighted an interesting (read: maddening) quirk of clang on OS X. Here’s the background.

When you compile something using clang on OS X there are (roughly speaking) two stages to the compile. In the first, your source code is loaded and the compiler searches its include paths to find your includes. Here’s what clang’s defaults look like for the Xcode 6.4 command line tools:

As you can see, the include search starts with /usr/local/include and /usr/include is the fourth item. So, in the case of a vanilla OS X install a binary attempting to compile using OpenSSL (let’s say #include <openssl/x509.h>) would find the OpenSSL headers in /usr/include after searching the previous 3 locations fruitlessly.

Once it’s found (and the C preprocessor has run and all the objects have been compiled) we now need to link it. When compiling something against OpenSSL you’ll link against -lssl, -lcrypto, or both. These command line flags simply tell the linker to look for something named “libssl.dylib” or “libcrypto.dylib” in the library search paths. But what are those paths?

This time we see two primary library search paths, /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib…which are reversed in priority from our include search path.

The result of this is that if you have something (like OpenSSL) that is present in both /usr/local/{include,lib} and /usr/{include,lib} you’ll end up with the compiler using the headers from /usr/local/include and then linking against the library in /usr/lib. This can result in a variety of problems, the severity of which depend on how different the two versions of the library are and what features the binary you’re compiling is using.

So why does this matter? Well, in El Capitan (10.11) Apple has chosen to remove the OpenSSL development headers, but not remove the dylibs. They deprecated use of system OpenSSL in Lion (10.7) so this makes sense on the surface, but the weird include/linker ordering means that if homebrew (or anything else living in your include/search paths) duplicates a system library bad things may occur. There are four possible paths (all of which are under the control of Apple and not us plebes):

• Change the linker order preference. Probably a good idea long term but likely to cause all sorts of unintended breakage as we find things that are implicitly depending on this crazy ordering.
• Re-add the OpenSSL headers for 0.9.8. Not a great option since 0.9.8 is scheduled for EOL at the end of this year and Apple has marked it deprecated in OS X since Lion (originally released July 20, 2011), but probably the safest and lowest friction option.
• Remove OpenSSL entirely. This would break any OS X app that links against it and would require Apple to ship updates to Ruby, Python, Apache, etc that statically link OpenSSL (or go down the route of a “private” dylib like they’ve done with OpenSSH in El Capitan)
• Do nothing and let this be a significant source of pain for developers during El Capitan’s lifecycle. This is the most likely scenario.

I favor either removing the OpenSSL dylibs entirely for El Capitan or re-adding the OpenSSL headers and then removing everything in the next major release, but I don’t envy whoever has to make this choice. Everything has downsides.
