[Bug driver/17621] Add option to have GCC not search $(prefix)
--- Comment #11 from carlos at codesourcery dot com 2006-08-22 21:02 --- Created an attachment (id=12115) --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=12115&action=view) When relocated do not add paths that contain the configured prefix. Thanks for adding me to the CC. A relocated compiler should never search the configured prefix for programs, libraries or start files. A relocated compiler searching for files in the configured prefix is troublesome. The configured prefix may contain a conflicting toolchain, or a slow network path. The old behaviour of searching the conifgured prefix is not what users expect from a relocated toolchain. Consider 3 types of paths: 1. Relocated paths. 2. Configured prefix paths. 3. Well known system paths. The type 1 and type 3 paths are always added to our search lists. The type 2 paths are only added if the compiler is installed at the configured prefix. This patch groups the 3 path types logically in gcc/gcc.c, and adds the paths based on the wether the compiler is relocated or unrelocated. Could you test this patch out and tell me if it helps? There is a caveat, running 'make -k check' from the object directory may not work. In certain cases, bare-metal targets for example, contains the required start files to build and run the tests. I have an additional patch for this, but it is still in testing. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17621

--- Comment #14 from carlos at codesourcery dot com 2006-10-05 08:33 --- GCC_EXEC_PREFIX does not control the search directories for header files. Could you verify that your target actually compiles before applying the patches? Both gcc and cpp need to be taught taught not to search the configured prefix. The patch I provided only the first step. The second step is to improve cpp. I will post a new set of patches for this on the weekend. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17621

[Bug driver/35532] Native GCC no longer searches $prefix/lib for startfiles when run from $objdir
--- Comment #4 from carlos at codesourcery dot com 2008-03-11 19:21 --- Greg, The example you describe looks an awful lot like a cross-compile. Is there anything preventing you from configuring with --enable-build-sysroot=/tmp/foo? Could you also describe your original build process in detail? Please don't think of this as an issue between a relocated or un-relocated compiler. GCC took the kitchen sink approach to search directories, and the patch in question rooted out exactly which directories are needed and which are not. Now that we've cleaned up the search directories, you are going to have to prove why other build processes are *not* usable in your particular scenario. I won't accept "It used to build and now it doesn't." By building gcc you become a gcc developer, not a user, and there is no guarantee that the gcc build process will not change over time. I look forward to the sordid details of your build problem :-) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35532

Greg,
I've gone through your DIY instructions. Very well done. Using the sysroot
infrastructure is definitely the way forward for you. Looking at your existing
DIY instructions you probably want to:
1. Create a "Construct sysroot" step before the first stage gcc (3.5), this
will include creating $sysroot/usr/include.
2. Install the kernel headers (3.6) as part of the "Construct sysroot" step, or
as the next step.
You might want to verify that this is still needed:
~~~
echo "
/* Remove /usr/include from end of include search path. */
#undef STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR
#define STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR 0" >> gcc/config/${DL_HEADER}
~~~
in step (3.10).

[Bug c/35705] New: Regression: Symbol address check eliminated by C frontend.
Problem
The C frontend in GCC 4.3.1 appears to assume that the address of a function
pointer is always aligned, and optimizes away certain bitwise operations. This
breaks hppa-linux whose function pointers are either an OPD with a certain bit
set, or a plain function pointer. In GCC 4.3 hppa-linux can no longer check to
see if a function address is an OPD or not.
Background
~~~
The hppa-linux ABI supports non-OPD and OPDs. The difference is that OPDs' have
bit 2 set to 1.
The following testcase shows the change in behaviour between gcc-4_2-branch and
gcc-4_3-branch.
cat >> foo.c <
#include
int main (void) {
printf ("&printf = %x\n", (unsigned long)&printf);
if (((unsigned long) &printf) & 3)
{
printf ("printf is an OPD (PLABEL32)\n");
}
return 0;
}
EOF
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fsrc/gcc-work$
/usr/local/tools/bin/hppa-linux-gcc-4.2.4 -o foo foo.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fsrc/gcc-work$ ./foo
&printf = 119ea
printf is a PLABEL32
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fsrc/gcc-work$
/usr/local/tools/bin/hppa-linux-gcc-4.3.1 -o foo foo.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fsrc/gcc-work$ ./foo
&printf = 119ea
GCC 4.3, even at -O0, reduces "((unsigned long) &printf) & 3)" to "0".
~~~ foo.c.003t.original ~~~
;; Function main (main)
;; enabled by -tree-original
{
printf ((const char * restrict) (char *) "&printf = %x\n", (long
unsigned int) printf);
if (0)
{
printf ((const char * restrict) (char *) "printf is a PLABEL32\n");
}
return 0;
}
~~~
If the if condition is reduced to "0" as early as 003t.original, does
that mean it's the C frontend fault?
This issue is breaks glibc's detection of PLABEL32 symbols during startup
relocation processing. It also likely breaks unwind code in libjava.
Casting a pointer to an integer type is implementation defined, so the above
change is certainly a regression.
Why this didn't show up in the testing is another issue. Perhaps we just don't
have a test for this (I can correct that pretty easily).
Any ideas how to fix this? Pointers to the change that changed the behaviour?

In this case the address of the function is an OPD, and such an address requires special bits to be set. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35705

As far as I know, > it is ok to have the same size for double and long double. However, > they are distinct types. Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been. The glibc port for hppa has always been configured never to build any long double code, and has always assumed that long double is not a distinct type. From glibc's perspective there is no such thing as having double and long double with the same size, there is only a configuration where double exists and all the long double functions alias to their double equivalents. The hppa port sets long-double-fcts = no in glibc and this causes all the aliases to be created, otherwise you'd never be able to link anything that used `l' ending math functions. Defining __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH is just another step in the right direction to avoid using long double functions, and use the double functions instead. The upside is that, if and when, long double on hppa becomes the 128-bit quad long double, we can just follow the tried-and-tested procedure to migrate the glibc math routines.

--- Comment #28 from carlos at codesourcery dot com 2009-04-28 20:57 --- Exporting a non-default versioned symbol is useless since new programs won't be able to link against that definition. Did 4.2/4.3 export a global default symbol for __signbitl? If we did export a global default symbol for __signbitl then we must continue to export it. The current glibc math.h signbit macro will evaluate to __signbitl if passed a long dobule type, and therefore correct programs using the signbit macro may have ended up referencing __signbitl from libstdc++.

--- Comment #32 from carlos at codesourcery dot com 2009-04-29 15:07 --- No, you are absolutely right and the tree dumps confirm it. I thought it might be possible to trigger a reference by using the right flags, but to no avail, the compiler always folds the if-then-else to __signbit. This proves to me that no program could have ever created a reference to __signbitl unless they specifically called __signbitl, which is a but in the application. I now agree with Benjamin that this is a [4.2/4.3 regression]. Notes: * I am using -fno-builtins to avoid the compiler builtins from being used for signbit[fl]. * I would never want libstdc++ to ever provide a default symbol for __signbitl, only a compat one, but this is now moot since we proved no program could ever reference __signbitl. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39491
[Bug target/44261] New: Multiplying -1 by NaN is not valid.
The following testcase is an example of code used in a glibc testcase. I'm
trying hard to shake out the bugs in the glibc testsuite for debian, and one
testsuite failure looks like a compiler issue.
The expected behaviour is for the testcase to print the raw IEEE754 value of
-NAN.
The observed behaviour, when -DALT is on the command line, is that the testcase
prints the incorrect raw value e.g. NAN.
GCC 4.4.3 in debian doesn't compile this code correctly.
cat >> tst-mul-nan.c <
#include
#ifdef ALT
volatile double nanval;
#else
#define nanval NAN
#endif
int
main ()
{
#ifdef ALT
nanval = NAN;
#endif
printf ("0x%llx\n", -nanval);
return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -g3 -O0 -save-temps -o test-mul-nan-OK test-mul-nan.c; ./test-mul-nan-OK
0xfff7
This is the correct result e.g. -NAN. In the correct case the compiler has
already computer -NAN and it's loaded directly from the local symbol e.g.
.LC1:
.word -524289
.word -1
This is the case that is not working correctly:
gcc -g3 -O0 -save-temps -DALT -o test-mul-nan-NG test-mul-nan.c;
./test-mul-nan-NG
0x7ff7
That result is not -NAN, it is NAN. This is incorrect.
In the incorrect compilation the compiler loads NAN from a local constant:
.LC0:
.word 2146959359
.word -1
This is 0x7ff7 e.g. NAN.
Then it loads a 64-bit double -1.0.
.LC2:
.word -1074790400
.word 0
In the incorrect case the compiler tries to multiply -1.0 by NAN to get a
result of -NAN.
addil LR'nanval-$global$,%r27
copy %r1,%r19
ldo RR'nanval-$global$(%r19),%r19
fldds 0(%r19),%fr23
ldil LR'.LC2,%r19
ldo RR'.LC2(%r19),%r19
fldds 0(%r19),%fr22
fmpy,dbl %fr23,%fr22,%fr22
This is not going to work because -1.0 times NAN is NAN, and the sign of the
input will be ignored.
See: PA-RISC 2.0 Architecture, Floating Coprocessor 8-23 "Operations With
NaNs", and 8-24 "Sign Bit" can be referenced for information on NANs.
After the multiplication fr22 still contains NAN, and that is what is printed
instead of the expected result of -NAN.
John David Anglin indicates:
This is a bug.
The code should xor the sign bit when doing negation. The existing code
doesn't work for NANs. I'll try to fix negdf2 and negsf2.
The problem is PA1.1 doesn't have a fneg instruction, so the above takes a bit
of work to implement. You will get the correct result if you specify
-march=2.0.
Unfortunately I can't use -march=2.0 in this case, the C library has to work on
PA1.1 class systems.

[Bug driver/44273] New: Using -save-temps and @file should also save the intermediate @file used by the driver.
When you compile anything using @file support, the driver assumes @file (at_file_supplied is true) is allowed and may pass options to the linker via @file using a *temporary* file. When -save-temps is also used, the temporary @file passed to the linker should also be saved. Saving the temporary @file passed to the linker allows a developer to re-run just the collect2/ld command. On trunk this means that gcc/gcc.c (create_at_file) should honour the save_temps_flag, saving the temporary @file for later analysis or use. -- Summary: Using -save-temps and @file should also save the intermediate @file used by the driver.
