Subject: Build Failure Due to Undefined Reference to close_range with alsa-lib 1.2.15
Date: Mon,  8 Dec 2025 22:44:48 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <187f5b978c917500-webhooks-bot@alsa-project.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <187f5b978b928300-webhooks-bot@alsa-project.org>

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #485 was opened from darkshram:

### Description

I encountered a build failure while compiling **alsa-lib 1.2.15** due to an undefined reference to `close_range`. My environment uses **glibc 2.30**, which should support this function.

### Error Message

```
ucm/.libs/libucm.a(ucm_exec.o): In function `uc_mgr_exec':
/builddir/build/BUILD/alsa-lib-1.2.15/src/ucm/ucm_exec.c:263: undefined reference to `close_range'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

### Solution

To resolve the issue, I applied the following patch, which effectively reverses [the change that introduced](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/pull/459) `close_range`:

```

                close(f);

-#if defined(_GNU_SOURCE)
-               close_range(3, maxfd, 0);
-#else
                for (f = 3; f < maxfd; f++)
                        close(f);
-#endif

                /* install default handlers for the forked process */
                signal(SIGINT, SIG_DFL);
```
This workaround restored compatibility and allowed the build to complete successfully.

### Additional Information

Please consider this issue for further review. If close_range is required, clearer compatibility notes might be beneficial. Thank you!
