This is usually a result of unaligned access. I'll provide a gdb backtrace later.

Latest libplist does not link properly

The following error occurs:

../src/.libs/libplist.so: undefined reference to `fmin'

(Tested with Ubuntu 18.04)

Should libplist link against libm as well?

i also tried to build following dummy code use arm-linux-androideabi-gcc

#include <pthread.h>

static pthread_once_t once_control = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT;

void dummy() { }

int main(void)
{
    pthread_once(&once_control, dummy);
    return 0;
}

it works.

Any help would be appreciated

I see issues when parsing XML to plist_node. The issue is that when it comes to parsing date value, it adds unnecessary 1 hour shift for my current timezone.

I use this XML to import:

<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC ""-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"" ""http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"">
<plist version=""1.0"">
<dict>
    <key>Last Backup Date</key>
    <date>2016-04-06T10:16:17Z</date>
</dict>
</plist>

After loading it via plist_from_xml, after getting the key Last Backup Date and converting it to string value, I see the value of 2016-04-06 11:16:17, which is 1 hour more than I expect to see.

I think the issue is in this line. GMT is not UTC, and it can have daylight saving time, hence the error.

Hi,

This pull request adds support for Microsoft Visual C++ in libplist.

It only includes changes in the .h and .c files; the actual project files are not included to keep the libplist repository clean.

A lot of the changes are minor; for example, VC++ is more picky about implicit casts so a lot of cast statements have been added. Similarly, if the declaration in the .h and .c file differ, VC++ complains. Hence a lot of PLIST_API_MSC statements have been added in the .h files.

Care has been taken to make sure that VC++ -specific statements are wrapped in an #ifdef _MVC_VER statement, so that they won't interfere with other compilers on the Windows platform.

I used Travis as a CI server in the upstream repository, to verify compilation still works on the Linux platform. It did, and you can see the result here: https://travis-ci.org/libimobiledevice-win32/libplist/builds/59121180 The upstream repository also contains a sample .travis.yml file that you could use if you wanted CI; it is not included in this pull request.

Similarly, I also tested on a Windows machine using AppVeyor and you can see the results here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/qmfrederik/libplist/

All feedback is welcome,

Frederik.

plist_from_bin plist_to_xml date time is not accurate

and plist_from_xml plist_to_bin date time is not accurate

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

plist_from_bin get date val = 419855442 = 1983 4 22 pm 6:30:42

but the correct value is 1398133842 = 2014 04 22 am 10:30:42

1398133842 - 419855442 = 978278400

My English is very bad -.-

I'm having errors while doing 'sudo make'

a lot warnings about shadowed declarations

and 2 errors: make[2]: *** [xplist.lo] Error 1 make[1]: ** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

cheers!

Configuration for libplist 1.12:

Install prefix: .........: /usr/local Python bindings .........: no

Now type 'make' to build libplist 1.12, and then 'make install' for installation.

Any thoughts?

there is a extra large memery allocation error which can be detected by addresssanitizer.

the source code around here are: bplist.used_indexes = (uint32_t*)malloc(sizeof(uint32_t) * num_objects); the num_objects equals to a very large number.

Hello I currently work on MobileDeviceSharp a C# object oriented wrapper around libimobiledevice and there is something I don't understand. Normally integer value in Property list can be signed but you represent Integer plist node as uint64_t that is unsigned. This beaviour is reported in my C# implementation of the PlistInteger node. So what is the correct way to store signed integer property list value using this library.

Tried building libimobiledevice-git on Manjaro, build failed. Realized that libplist-git was causing the problem. I tried to install from source using ./autogen.sh and make, but make keeps failing at the point screenshotted above.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I've tried changing python 3.10.7, 2.7.15, and 3.9.0, none of which have worked.

Hi,

I am trying to build the libplist library, and it emits the error

Modified the libcnary/makefile to turn on tracing for libtool line 228 to help debugging.

LIBTOOL = ${SHELL} $(top_builddir)/libtool -v --debug 

Rerun make and got the following

Did I miss a step to compile node.Tpo? Thanks in advance.

Directory was named "Command Line Tools". Renamed it so there's no space which fixes it but I'm submitting this anyway in case it's something that can be fixed.
