Source: octave
Version: 3.8.2-3
On arm64 mkoctfile -M goes into an infinite loop:
echo > t.c
mkoctfile -M t.c
# it runs for ever
This may be because of this code in src/mkoctfile.in.cc:
get_line (FILE *fp)
{
static std::vector<char> buf (100);
unsigned int idx = 0;
char c;
while (true)
{
c = static_cast<char> (gnulib::fgetc (fp));
if (c == '\n' || c == EOF)
break;
On architectures where plain char is unsigned, c == EOF will always be
false. I suggest changing the type of c and the static_cast to "int".
Note that vlfeat is failing to build on arm64 apparently because of
mkoctfile -M timing out:
/usr/bin/mkoctfile -I. -I./toolbox -M "./toolbox/geometry/vl_rodr.c"
E: Caught signal ‘Terminated’: terminating immediately
make: *** [build-arch] Terminated
See:
http://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=vlfeat&suite=sid
Would it be worth adding a simple test to octave so that this problem
with mkoctfile is discovered when building octave rather than later?
