[Firebird-devel] fbtrace, icu and linux

[Paul R. <pr...@ib...>]

I was looking into an fbtrace manager problem yesterday and came across a 
problem on the opensuse packaged version of firebird 2.5.4 that is built with 
system editline and system icu. These errors are thrown:

  Firebird Trace utility version LI-V2.5.4.26856 Firebird 2.5
  Trace session ID 15 started
  Error creating trace session for
   database "/var/lib/firebird/secdb/security2.fdb":
  error while parsing trace configuration
        line 1: error while compiling regular expression "employee"

  Error creating trace session for database "employee":
  cannot convert ICU-VERSION to COLL-VERSION

  Error reading data from the connection.

and no trace events are logged.

I'm not sure if there are two errors here, one related to regex and the other 
related to icu, or whether the regex error is because of the icu problem.

I recompiled the code to build with our icu and editline and everything worked 
as expected.

The 'cannot convert ICU-VERSION to COLL-VERSION' error seems a strange one, 
especially as the employee database was built on the same system as the 
system icu so I suspect the recently added code that throws that error may 
need some attention.

When the tracker is back online I guess I should log this as a bug.
