native building of gpc 19991030 / gcc 2.95.2 for djgpp
by Maurice Lombardi 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi all I succeeded in this native building with only one change to gpc sources due to a DOS peculiarity. The problem comes from the following lines contained (at two different locations) in p/Make-lang-2.95.in CC="`echo $(GCC_FOR_TARGET) | sed -e 's,-B$[^/]$,-B../../\1,g' -e 's,^$[^/][^ ]*$,../../\1,'`" \ PC="`echo $(GPC_FOR_TARGET) | sed -e 's,-B$[^/]$,-B../../\1,g' -e 's,^$[^/][^ ]*$,../../\1,'`" \ It means that to go the to rts subdirectory it prepends ../.. to G?C_FOR_TARGET if this is a relative, not an absolute directory name. Absolute is recognized by the first character being a slash. However in DOS an absolute pathname starts with a drive letter c:/ In particular GCC_FOR_TARGET is in my case an absolute pathname built through `pwd` in the top makefile, which gives the drive letter. Solutions could be - saying that an absolute pathname has either / as first character or : as second. Can be garbled by a unix relative path starting with d: is this possible in this context? This gives the attached notroot.dif - saying that a relative pathname starts by ./ or ../ This is what occurs for GPC_FOR_TARGET. Can be garbled if the relative path starts with an ordinary character, is this possible in this context? This gives the attached relative.dif. You can incorporate one of these solutions (or a better you may imagine) into the gpc sources, or let the djgpp maintainers to make the patch only for djgpp (and probably other DOS systems). The last solution would mean however the need to modify the patch for each new gpc alpha or beta distribution, so that the first is highly preferred. The building has been made in a W98 DOS box, LFN=Y, with binutils 2.8.1 and the beta version 2.0.3 of bash for djgpp. I can upload the resulting binary file if you are interested. For those interested to internals of djgpp. The beta bash version enables (when setting PATH_EXPAND=N) pwd to output /dev/c/ instead of c: to have a more unix-like behavior, which seems to solve the above problem. Bash understands command lines starting with /dev/c/bin/something.exe but DOS (command.com) does not understand ! Now, as explained to me by Eli Zaretskii to solve an other hairy problem, the djgpp port of Make sends command lines to bash only if he thinks that the shell is involved, and to COMMAND.COM otherwise (to save overhead). He recognizes that the shell is needed if the make line includes something which belongs to the shell, which could be a simple ; at the end of the makefile line. I have tried to build with PATH_EXPAND=N, it stops building the rts at the first command line $(GCC_FOR_TARGET) so so When adding a ; at the end of that makefile line, make goes somewhat further, but stops at the next occurrence, which shows that this is indeed the problem. Now is the overhead in make large enough to warrant all these inconveniences? Hope this helps. -- Maurice Lombardi Laboratoire de Spectrometrie Physique, Universite Joseph Fourier de Grenoble, BP87 38402 Saint Martin d'Heres Cedex FRANCE Tel: 33 (0)4 76 51 47 51 Fax: 33 (0)4 76 51 45 44 mailto:Maurice.Lombardi@ujf-grenoble.fr

PROBLEM TO COMPILE WITH GPC
by Yves POCCHIOLA 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

For my first trial of GNU PASCAL, I get compilation error with message: impossible to load module GPC. I have loaded GNU PASCAL for LINUX with the binary package "gpc-19990118-egcs-1_1_1_i386-pc-linux-gnu". The decompression gives a directory "usr" in the working directory. There is no indication on howto configure the environment (PATH, specific variables). I have made some tentatives with PATH (bin and lib directory declaration) and variables (COMPILER_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH) but I always get a message saying a module is missing. This problem occurs either in command line mode or EMACS. Can somebody help me. Thanks.

On agnes, there are different ones for libc5 and glibc. If you got the wrong one for your system (if it's a new installation, your system it most likely glibc), it may not work. There is also a little incompatibility between some distributions in their glibc versions -- which distribution do you use? If nothing else helps, you can always get the sources (GCC and GPC), and compile GPC yourself. Under Linux, this is not very difficult. > On the other hand, to compile demos programs I must be root? If you try to compile them in the demos directory, and this is owned by root, then yes. But if you compile them while you are in your home directory (either by copying them there, or by giving the full path to the source), you don't have to be root. You can also use the option `--executable-path=$HOME/bin' (say) to tell GPC to create the exectuables a bin directory below your home directory, and similarly e.g. `--unit-destination-path=$HOME/objects' to tell it where to put compiled units. The directories must exist before calling GPC.

I installed binary of gpc on my linux/pentium computer. When I manage to compile a pascal source, I cannot execute the file a.out created, I always got the same answer: segmentation fault! On the other hand, to compile demos programs I must be root? May you help me to solve this trouble Thanks Mike

It seems to me that the test program is wrong, and GPC (at least the current alpha version; I don't have 19990314 here to check) reports this error correctly: The program compares V2, which is of type T9 which is equivalent to Boolean, with 1, an integer. Perhaps this was just a mistake in the reproduction of the test program. We've had other bugs concerning types like "false..true", and if there are still such bugs left, we'd like to see a test program to show them... I'm also interested in your test tool. Is it (or the NPL report you mentioned) available on the Web, or how can we get at it?

gcc 2.95.2
by Brian O'Gorman 11 Nov '99

11 Nov '99

I'm rather new at trying to install gpc, so please excuse this question if it's been discussed elsewhere. Can someone tell me if gpc can be installed if only gcc 2.95.2 is available; or is it gcc 2.8.1 that's needed?

Bug report for GPC
by David Chandler 11 Nov '99

11 Nov '99

Dear GPC programmers, Here at NPL we have Pascal compiler testing software that generates self checking, legal Pascal source code for the purpose of testing Pascal compilers. We used this tool to test your compiler and generated the following bug. Your compiler version: egcs-2.91.66 1990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release) The results of this test show that your compiler failed during compilation of the following program: program test(output); type T9 = false..true; var failed : boolean; V0 :T9 ; V2 :T9 ; procedure P2; begin failed := false; V0 := true; V2 := true = V0; { test code } writeln("V2: ",V2); writeln("V0: ",V0); writeln("true: ",true); end; begin P2; if V2 <> 1 then begin writeln('Verification test failed on line 93'); failed := true; end; end. {Lines of code generated = 104} The problem appears to be that the compiler interprets the type type "false..true" as being different from boolean. If this type is changed to boolean, then the program runs correctly. The compiler options used to generate the test executable were: --standard-pascal no optimisations The test platform was an Intel PC. If you have any queries or require further information concerning the tests performed or the tools used, please contact either myself at the contact points below, or the author of the test tool, Brian Wichmann at brian.wichmann(a)npl.co.uk If you would like further information on the test tool, PPG (Pascal Program Generator), there is an NPL report "Experience with a Compiler Testing Tool" ISSN 0262-5369. NPL Report DITC 138/89, which is available in electronic format.
