But having multilib enabled by default on x86_64 is simply very highly
desirable, checking that you have a (minimal, for gcc you pretty much only
need glibc and libgcc development stuff) 32-bit environment is just
one of the many items you need to check before you start building gcc.
You also need gmp, mpfr, mpc development (headers+libraries), flex, bison,
texinfo, ..., lots of this isn't installed by default.

But the situation is not the same.  These tools are checked at
configuration time, and the builder is let known in no uncertain terms
that something is missing.  If you don't have gmp or mfr installed,
configure will let you know, loudly complains, and won't budge until
you install the required tools.

The subject is very different.

That's better than silently disable multilib builds so that the
user doesn't know until the build is complete.  It's better to
abort early.

Similarly for cancelled and behaviours in the patch, but the GCC

[PATCH 0/6] Contributing new target port: Andes 'nds32'.

2013-07-08 Thread Chung-Ju Wu
Hi, GCC Steering Committee, reviewers, and developers,

On behalf of Andes Technology Corp., we are submitting a new port 'nds32'
for GCC contribution.  In this contribution, we use the design and strategy
as modern as possible, such as having LRA enabled and taking soft-fp as
our software floating point library.  None of general gcc code is required
to be changed for this nds32 port.

We have already signed FSF agreement and are proposing Shiva Chen
and myself (Chung-Ju Wu), both of Andes compiler engineers,
as nds32 port maintainers:

For completeness of Andes nds32 toolchain, we also proposed nds32
contribution for other packages [1]-[3] on corresponding mailing list.
And the nds32 target for packages [4] and [5] are previously merged

put ELF reloc section against section with template function instantiation in the same COMDAT group

2013-07-08 Thread Игорь Пашев
Hi, all.

First off, I know that I'm posting to GCC list :-)
And I'm looking for competent opinions.

I'm working on CLang/LLVM issue [1].
Clang doesn't put section with relocation entries against section
with templated function instantiation in the same COMDAT group.
AFAIK GCC does not do it too, Solaris CC does.

Is GCC's behavior intentional? Does GCC rely on the linker?

I'm not sure what questions are correct, so appreciate any comments .

If somebody want to take care of that he can use following commands
and write replacement list:

git grep "/[/*].*\w\wour[ .,]" > our
git grep "/[/*].*\w[^aw]ise[ .,]" > ise

They produce 131 and 171 lines so this also takes bit of work.

I think GCC's behavior is depend on the assembler which is being used.
 So if you used Sun's assembler it would have placed it in the same
COMDAT group.  Meaning this is really a GNU binutils issue rather than
a GCC one.

If a distro does something that you consider wrong, you would have their many
clients suffer?  When there's a simple test to see if the platform can support
multilib?  That is not very friendly.  Not friendly at all.

Making the innocent suffer inscrutible failures because you think that many
mass distributions are wrong?  That is wrong.  I agree whole heartedly with
Gaby.

REMEMBER: we are talking about having a multilib enableable test in
the configure.  If it fails, then it is not enabled by default.  This is not
rocket science.

:-D  It is punishing the innocent by failing the build with inscrutible
error messages.  Sounds like baby drowning to me...

Please add a multilib-able test to configure.  Thank you.

Thank you.

I believe GCC on Solaris is using GNU as and Sun ld, don't know about Sun CC.

I would appreciate if anyone could explain what is the impact of
including or not including
relocation entries in the same COMDAT group.

It isn't that trivial though, would you do this for native linux
configurations only (or how would you handle crosses?), what about
--with-sysroot configurations where the system compiler might e.g. not
support sysroots, what if the system compiler isn't gcc, or what if it is
gcc, but doesn't support multilibs, yet the newly built gcc would be capable
of supporting that?
So maybe for native configuration without --with-sysroot if system compiler
is gcc and a configure test can be compiled successfully when not using
any headers with a non-primary multilib option, but a test including some
well known glibc header like stdlib.h would fail with an error, error out
(silently disabling multilibs would look wrong to me, given that it
would be a very problematic heuristics only working sometimes).
But, the next question is how to find out what multilib options to pass,
if system compiler is gcc, it can check --print-multilib and derive that
info from it, but do you have a guarantee that the system gcc multilib
support matches the to be built compiler's multilib (e.g., you can have
system gcc built on ppc* to default to -m32 and have -m64 as non-default
multilib option and configure new gcc to do it the other way around, etc.).
Do you still think it is that trivial?

Far easier would be if not inhibit_libc to try to compile some trivial
program using say stdlib.h include in libgcc configure and error out there,
if it isn't for the primary multilib hint that either development support
for the non-primary multilib needs to be installed or --disable-multilib
used in configure.  That would have the disadvantage that the error would
show up only after at least first stage of gcc has been built, but would be
more reliable.

Any solution other than an explanation-less "fatal error:
gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file"
is fine.  There is no way to translate that message into
"Either --disable-multilib or else install glibc 32 bit development"
without coming up with the right Googling terms.  I managed to futz around
until I figured out the missing package.  It was a day later that I found out
it was all about multilib.  Putting people through such a gauntlet just because
you think a distro ought to have included glibc 32 bit development as part of
a development package is not appropriate.

So I see several choices.  Primarily, assume that more often than not, builds
are not cross builds, thus if multi-lib is not supported, likely the
build will fail
on the multilib part.  Therefore, disable it _by default_.  The user
has to override,
even if they are doing a cross build for a platform with multi-lib.
The user alters
the default if the host platform does not support it.  But anything at
all, as long
as the way forward is explicit and does not involve Google.

I added http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#gnu_stubs-32.h to improve things
slightly. I don't think http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html

Ever so, but thank you.  Ultimately, searching for just "stubs-32.h"
will take you there and not require you to wade through too much chaff.
You're still Googling instead of reading "you need to disable multilib
or install a 32 bit development package", but it is ever so slightly
better now.

That would be good.

Speaking of, the fixinclude directory has been moved from fixincl

It seems the original article is gone.  At least I can't find it easily
(the patch that added the link is from 2001...).  It's about Fibonacci
Heaps so there's plenty of material out there on the net.  The paper
mentioned in the comment can be found rather easily:

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall03/cs528/handouts/fibonacci%20heaps.pdf

However, maybe it's better to replace the DDJ link with this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_heap 

Cheers,

As explained on that page, certain files and directories come from 
upstream and so it is inappropriate to apply GCC-specific conventions to 
them, or to fix any typos locally rather than upstream.  In particular, 
you should not be patching boehm-gc or zlib.  intl is also externally 
maintained code so again should not be patched for this issue; likewise 
libdecnumber and libffi (libdecnumber and libffi may get local patches, 
but only when needed to fix bugs, not simply for GCC-specific 
conventions).  libiberty is shared with other projects so it's not clear 
that GCC-specific conventions should apply there; you need to discuss 
changes there in conjunction with the other projects.  libjava/classpath 
and libjava/libltdl are also externally maintained.  libquadmath code 
comes from glibc so unless the code in question is GCC-specific, do not 
apply GCC conventions to it.

It's possible that the changes do make sense for the other projects, in 
that the GCC conventions are supposed to have good reasons behind them.  
But, you should raise the issues with those projects separately and if 
patches are desired only then produce patches relative to current upstream 
versions of those projects.

It is not generally desirable to apply such cleanups to testcases.
