Reproduction Steps

Build with Visual Studio 2022, and zlib compression enabled.

Possible Solution

In src/aws-cpp-sdk-core/source/client/RequestCompression.cpp:

line 159: strm.avail_in = static_cast<uInt>((flush == Z_FINISH)?toRead-1:toRead); //skip EOF if included

line 208: strm.avail_in = static_cast<uInt>(toRead);

What build commands are you using to repro this?

[jzakrzewski]

Originally I used it as a submodule (via FetchContent), but I have just reproduced it stand-alone. This is the command line:

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCPP_STANDARD=20 -DBUILD_ONLY=s3 -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DAUTORUN_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_UNITY_BUILD=ON -DFORCE_CURL=ON -DUSE_OPENSSL=ON -DENABLE_ZLIB_REQUEST_COMPRESSION=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=C:\tmp\libs\debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=C:\tmp\aws-install C:\tmp\aws-sdk-cpp-1.11.48

and the build:

[jzakrzewski]

Any news?

[radwaverf]

I reproduced this error as well, but the fix may also require changing

static const size_t ZLIB_CHUNK=263144;

to

static const size_t ZLIB_CHUNK=65536;

because uInt could only be 16 bits on some systems. My system has 32 bit unsigned int though, so I don't know how to test that case. Any ideas?

[jzakrzewski]

Hmmm - why does ZLIB_CHUNK have to be a size_t anyway? Maybe it should just be uInt?
Maybe even initialized like: static const auto ZLIB_CHUNK=std::numeric_limits<uInt>::max();?

[radwaverf]

This is a bit beyond my knowledge of zlib, but maybe there are performance implications with ZLIB_CHUNK sizes? It seems like the only reason it's size_t is to match the type of streamSize, which could exceed 4 GB. So whether ZLIB_CHUNK is uInt or size_t, I think static_cast would be needed.

Also, 263144 isn't actually 256k. 256k is 262144. Is this a typo?
https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/blob/main/src/aws-cpp-sdk-core/source/client/RequestCompression.cpp#L22-L23
Or is that intentional so that when it rolls over with 16 bit systems it still a non-zero value?

[AndyHUI711]

I got the same issue, but how to slove this

[jzakrzewski]

For now, I just patch the source (see the "Possible solution" section in issue description).
I guess one could also build without compression support (for me it's a no-go).

Those are only workarounds. The actual solution must be provided by the authors. It makes me wonder, how they build it...

[RochaStratovan]

Almost a year old? Any official fixes for this yet?

[jmklix]

Can you try following this guide for building this sdk in Visual Studio? Please let me know if zlib compression is still causing any errors for you

[github-actions]

Greetings! It looks like this issue hasn’t been active in longer than a week. We encourage you to check if this is still an issue in the latest release. Because it has been longer than a week since the last update on this, and in the absence of more information, we will be closing this issue soon. If you find that this is still a problem, please feel free to provide a comment or add an upvote to prevent automatic closure, or if the issue is already closed, please feel free to open a new one.

[jzakrzewski]

Sorry, but I cannot just jump into it. I had more than enough time when I first opened the issue, but nobody was interested back then...

[jmklix]

Closing for now. Please let us know if you or anyone else runs into this build error in the future

[github-actions]

This issue is now closed. Comments on closed issues are hard for our team to see.
