Here's what's to be done for maintaining GCC.

Apart from the target-specific configuration machinery, there shouldn't be any major differences within GCC between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for example. Especially all the compiler magic is all the same.

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html has documentation for the configure switches.

  • Configure fragments that have *linux* cases might/should often contain those for us (and GNU/k*BSD) as well.

    • configure.ac

    • libstdc++-v3

      • configure.host

      • config/os/gnu-linux

        Is used for all GNU systems, as per configure.host. Should rename to gnu-user to reflect this? TODO.

    • gcc/acinclude.m4:gcc_GAS_FLAGS: always pass --32 to assembler for x86 Linux. (Why?)

    • lib-prefix.m4 (present twice in GCC sources) contains one remaining linux-only case.

  • -fsplit-stack

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-01-10:

    <gnu_srs1> Hi, I assume gcc -fsplit-stack is not yet supported?
    <braunr> gnu_srs1:
      https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-06/msg00100.html
    <gnu_srs1> braunr: That's exactly where the problem is:
      src/libgcc/generic-morestack.c:814:__morestack_load_mmap
    <gnu_srs1> no return value recorded
    <gnu_srs1> creating a call: page = mmap ((void*)0x0, 0, 4, 2, -1, 0);,
      returning EINVAL
    <braunr> lenght of 0 ?
    <gnu_srs1> yes, __morestack_current_segment, is zero
    <braunr> mmap is expected to return einval if the requested mapping has
      a size of 0 ..
    <braunr> i don't know what split stack is, but i remember it's a
      problem for the hurd
    <gnu_srs1> sorry, the address is zero from the above, and the length in
      the call is zero too
    <braunr> yes that's what i understood
    <braunr> and i'm telling you it's normal
    <braunr> the size is invalid
    <gnu_srs1> libgcc/generic-morestack.c:  mmap
      (__morestack_current_segment, 0, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
    <braunr> well this is wrong
    <gnu_srs1> and the error code stays, not being reset in subsequent
      calls
    <gnu_srs1> causing an error later on
    <braunr> as roland says in
      https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-06/msg00102.html, it
      should be possible to support split-stack now that we have tls
    <gnu_srs1> as thomas reported
    <braunr> i don't see the relation between split-stack and the mmap
      invocation
    <gnu_srs1> tls s in 2.17-97, right? that's the one I tried
    <braunr> tls is there, but not split stack support
    <braunr> and libpthread still has bugs related to changing the stack
      apparently
    <braunr> fixed upstream but not yet in debian packages
    <braunr> unless you want to try with the thread destruction packages
    <braunr> not sure it will change much though
    
    • Also see libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S: comments w.r.t TARGET_THREAD_SPLIT_STACK_OFFSET/%gs:0x30 usage; likely needs porting.

    • As per libgcc/config/i386/t-stack-i386, the former file is only used for -fsplit-stack support -- which is currently enabled for us in libgcc/config.host.

    • gcc/config/gnu-user.h defines *SPLIT_STACK* macros -- which aren't valid for us (yet), I think.

    • Also see sourceware [BZ #10686], glibc commit ecbf434213c0333d81706074e4d107ac45011635 Reserve new TLS field for x86 and x86_64 (__private_ss).

    • Might -fsplit-stack be useful for us with respect to our multithreaded libraries?

    Alternatively, can we use #ifndef inhibit_libc for this (these?) file(s)? See generic-nonstrack.c, for example. The latter (and also generic-morestack-thread.c) also has a nice explanation of inhibit_libc which could be centralized at one place, for example definition of inhibit_libc.

  • __GLIBC__

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-01-05:

    <civodul> on GNU/kFreeBSD, it's GCC that defines __GLIBC__, funny
    <youpi> ??
    <youpi> not from features.h ?
    <civodul> in gcc/config/kfreebsd-gnu.h
    <civodul> :-)
    <pinotree> correct, it's enabled in gcc's config
    <pinotree> i discovered that after banging my head on the wall trying
      to find out why some stuff wasn't compiling even after kfreebsd
      porting patches adding preprocessors checks for __GLIBC__

    <gnu_srs> Hi, looks like __GLIBC__ is not defined by default for GNU?
    <gnu_srs> touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h|grep LIBC: empty
    <braunr> gnu_srs: well, this only tells your the compiler defaults
    <tschwinge> gnu_srs: See the email I just sent.
    

    id:"87396od3ej.fsf@schwinge.name"

    <braunr> __GLIBC__ would probably be introduced by a glibc header
    <gnu_srs> tschwinge: I saw your email. I wonder if features.h is
      included in the kFreeBSD build of webkit.
    <gnu_srs> It is defined in their build, but not in the Hurd build.
    <pinotree> gcc on kfreebsd unconditionally defines __GLIBC__
    <pinotree> (a bit stupid choice imho, but hardly something that could
      be changed now...)
    <braunr> :/
    <braunr> personally i don't consider this only "a bit" stupid, as
      kfreebsd is one of the various efforts pushing towards portability
    <braunr> and using such hacks actually hinders portability ...
    <pinotree> yeah don't tell me, i can remember at least half dozen of
      occasions when a code wouldn't have been compiling at all on other
      glibc platforms otherwise
    <pinotree> sure, i have nothing against kfreebsd's efforts, but making
      gcc define something which is proper of the libc used is stupid
    <braunr> it is
    <pinotree> i spotted changes like:
    <pinotree> -#ifdef __linux
    <pinotree> +#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
    <pinotree> and wondered why they wouldn't work at all for us... and
      then realized there were no #include in that file before that
      preprocessor check
    <tschwinge> This is even in upstream GCC gcc/config/kfreebsd-gnu.h:
    <tschwinge> #define GNU_USER_TARGET_OS_CPP_BUILTINS()               \
    <tschwinge>   do                                            \
    <tschwinge>     {                                           \
    <tschwinge>         builtin_define ("__FreeBSD_kernel__");  \
    <tschwinge>         builtin_define ("__GLIBC__");           \
    <tschwinge>         builtin_define_std ("unix");            \
    <tschwinge>         builtin_assert ("system=unix");         \
    <tschwinge>         builtin_assert ("system=posix");        \
    <tschwinge>     }                                           \
    <tschwinge>   while (0)
    <tschwinge> I might raise this upstream at some point.
    <pinotree> tschwinge: i could guess the change was proposed by the
      kfreebsd people, so asking them before at d-bsd@d.o would be a start
    <tschwinge> pinotree: Ack.
    <pinotree> especially that they would need to fix stuff afterwards
    <pinotree> imho we could propose them the change, and if they agree put
      that as local patch to debian's gcc4.6/.7 after wheezy, so there is
      plenty of time for them to fix stuff
    <pinotree> what should be done first is, however, find out why that
      define has been added to gcc

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-01-08:

    <gnu_srs> How come __GLIBC__ is defined in gcc for kFreeBSD and not
      GNU? They sometimes use that instead of __FreeBSD_kernel__
    <pochu> it's defined by libc's /usr/include/features.h
    <gnu_srs> pochu: __GLIBC__ is defined in features.h both for GNU and
      kFreeBSD, but only in gcc/cpp for kFreeBSD: touch foo.h;gcc -E -dM
      foo.h|grep GLIBC
    <pochu> gnu_srs: #include <stdlib.h>
    <gnu_srs> pochu: they both include <features.h>
    <pochu> gnu_srs: I get __GLIBC__ defined if I include features.h
    <pochu> with an empty file (as suggested by your `touch foo.h') I don't
      get it defined, whether on hurd or linux, but I think that's expected
    <gnu_srs> pochu: might be so but it is not pre-defined in CPP, as it is
      for kFreeBSD.
    <gnu_srs> I think it should not be defined, or it should be defined by
      all three: GNU,.kFreeBSD and Linux
    <gnu_srs> an anomaly, something for tschwinge
    <braunr> https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2012/11/msg00016.html
    <gnu_srs> braunr: good finding, I assume nothing has happened since
      then?
    <braunr> not likely

Build

Here's a log of a GCC build run; this is from our Git repository's 2a3496bebfe9d89f11d0b7a591afac55e11d5263 (2013-06-06; 3a930d3fc68785662f5f3f4af02474cb21a62056 (2013-06-06)) sources, run on kepler.SCHWINGE and coulomb.SCHWINGE.

$ export LC_ALL=C
$ (cd ../master/ && contrib/gcc_update --touch)
$ ../master/configure --prefix="$PWD".install SHELL=/bin/dash CC=gcc-4.6 CXX=g++-4.6 --enable-languages=all,ada 2>&1 | tee log_build
[...]
$ make 2>&1 | tee log_build_
[...]

Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus harmonized.

We're stuck with GCC 4.6 until there are Debian gnat-4.7/gnat-4.8 packages avaible.

This takes up around 3.5 GiB, and needs roughly 3.5 h on kepler.SCHWINGE and 15.25 h on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

    TODO. Perhaps just timeouts? id:"200609052027.NAA09861@hpsje.cup.hp.com". id:"1227217275.6205.6.camel@janis-laptop". If needed, can re-implement in GCC DejaGnu's remote.exp:remote_wait to get rid of (that is, ignore) its timeout parameter which, in DejaGnu code, is often invoked with a hard-coded value (that we may want to override) (or is that what gcc/testsuite/lib/timeout.exp:standard_wait is for?). While at it, libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c++/ctors.exp and libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c/externs.exp use hard-coded timeout values in remote_wait calls (also, why don't these use the usual way of running tests?).

  • What is gcc/testsuite/gcc.test-framework/test-framework.exp and should we define CHECK_TEST_FRAMEWORK to run these tests?

  tree available for make check?  or it's a pure installed-tree test?
<jsm28> dnovillo: Source tree, install tree, no build tree.
<dnovillo> jsm28: so, you run make check on top of the source tree or copy
  the */testsuite trees to a testing area?
<jsm28> Create a site.exp and do runtest in a temporary directory.  runtest
  is pointed to the source tree to find sources.
<jsm28> For cross testing for GNU/Linux targets, the temporary directory is
  mounted at the same path on host and target.
<dnovillo> jsm28: thanks.  i guess i'll have to find the slice of the
  source tree i need to copy.
<dnovillo> jsm28: for libstdc++ do you write a different site.exp? 
<dnovillo> i noticed that it generates a different site,exp there.
<jsm28> The site.exp is mostly the same for all testsuites (so includes
  settings that only some testsuites use).
<dnovillo> ok, thanks.
<dnovillo> and when you say "pointed to the source tree" you mean "set
  srcdir /path/to/top/of/gcc" ?
<dnovillo> (in site.exp)
<jsm28> The GDB testsuite requires that you run the GDB testsuite's
  configure script in the temporary directory where you will run runtest.
  I don't think any GCC testsuites we use have requirements like that.
<jsm28> dnovillo: --srcdir option to runtest.
<dnovillo> ah, yes.
<jsm28> (and --tool, --target_board etc.)
<dnovillo> right
<dnovillo> since i'm distributing the tests. i want each node to only do a
  bunch of files.  this means that i either use 'tool.exp=file-pattern' or
  simply copy the subset of files i want tool.exp to find.
<dnovillo> i chose the second approach, but that breaks in a handful of
  cases that need files from other sub-directories.
<dnovillo> like g++.dg gcc.dg using stuff from c-c++-common.
<dnovillo> for libstdc++, the possibilities for splitting are enormous as
  it has many directories.
<dnovillo> but i'm not setting it right.  runtest runs without even trying
  to test anything.
<dnovillo> i'm not having it pick up the right driver.
<jsm28> Probably all .exp files should be copied to anywhere running
  testsuites, since some read .exp files from other directories.
<dnovillo> jsm28: that could be it too.  it's irritating that libstdc++
  does not even error out.  runtest just does nothing and returns 0.

<dnovillo> any libstdc++ maintainer around?
<dnovillo> or, does anyone know when the testsuite/data files are copied
  into the running testsuite/ dir?
<dnovillo> seems to be done in advance by make.
