Built-in modules are bundled into tarantool in the following way. A lua
file from src/lua or src/box/lua is stored as a string literal in a C
file, then built and linked into tarantool. During startup tarantool
calls luaL_loadbuffer() on this string.

When a Lua source is converted to a C literal, proper escaping is
performed. However there is one case, which was not covered: trigraphs.
The patch adds escaping of question mark symbols to avoid matching ??X
sequences as trigraphs by C preprocessor.

The most simple way to check that it works is to apply the following
patch:

 | diff --git a/src/lua/string.lua b/src/lua/string.lua
 | index 6e12c59ae..2da2dbf4d 100644
 | --- a/src/lua/string.lua
 | +++ b/src/lua/string.lua
 | @@ -425,3 +425,6 @@ string.fromhex    = string_fromhex
 |  string.strip      = string_strip
 |  string.lstrip      = string_lstrip
 |  string.rstrip      = string_rstrip
 | +string.foo = function()
 | +    return '??('
 | +end

And call the function like so:

 | ./src/tarantool -e 'print(string.foo()) os.exit()'

If it printfs `??(`, then everything is okay. If it prints `[`, then
`??(` was preprocessed as the trigraph.

We hit this problem when tried to bundle luarocks-3: it contains
"^(.-)(%??)$" regexp, where `??)` was interpreted as `]`. Debug build or
a build with -DENABLE_WERROR reports an error in the case, but usual
RelWithDebInfo build passes (with -Wtrigraphs warnings) and can show
this unexpected behaviour.

Fixes #4291.

Tarantool is an in-memory database and application server.

Key features of the application server:

  • 100% compatible drop-in replacement for Lua 5.1, based on LuaJIT 2.1. Simply use #!/usr/bin/tarantool instead of #!/usr/bin/lua in your script.
  • full support for Lua modules and a rich set of own modules, including cooperative multitasking, non-blocking I/O, access to external databases, etc

Key features of the database:

  • ANSI SQL, including views, joins, referential and check constraints
  • MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol
  • two data engines: 100% in-memory with optional persistence and an own implementation of LSM-tree, to use with large data sets
  • multiple index types: HASH, TREE, RTREE, BITSET
  • asynchronous master-master replication
  • authentication and access control
  • the database is just a C extension to the application server and can be turned off

Supported platforms are Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86, Mac OS X.

Tarantool is ideal for data-enriched components of scalable Web architecture: queue servers, caches, stateful Web applications.

To download and install Tarantool as a binary package for your OS, please visit https://tarantool.io/en/download/.
