Hello, Building the new gpc-19991030-snapshot with gcc-2.95.2 on HPUX-10.20 regrettably failed. The build was done in a different objdir then srddir, as adviced by gcc. The configuration as described by config.status : #!/bin/sh # This file was generated automatically by configure. Do not edit. # This directory was configured as follows: ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/version.c --host=hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 --prefix=/opt/gcc-2.95.2 --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --norecursion # using "mh-frag" and "mt-frag" FIRST a small problem 1 Using the option --with-as=/usr/local/bin/gas with configure is NOT obeyed by xgcp. xgpc also does not use $PATH of the caller of the make which would be a symbolic link to gas. And here the MAIN problem, which (I guess) is another example of the known HPUX bug as triggered with "p/test/knownbugs/sietse1u.pas". 2 The "gmake bootstrap" ends in: ../.././xgpc -B../.././ -c -I. -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -O2 -g -O2 -DRTS_RELEASE_STRING="'__GPC_RTS_VERSION_`cat /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/rts_release`__'" -DBSD_RTS=0 `if [ x@with_shared@ = xyes ] ; then echo -fPIC; fi` --unit-path=/wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts --automake /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/files.pas /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/string2.pas: In function `Getenv': /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/string2.pas:193: internal error--unrecognizable insn: (insn 15 14 17 (set (zero_extract:SI (reg:SI 97) (const_int 32 [0x20]) (const_int 0 [0x0])) (reg:SI 98)) -1 (insn_list 12 (insn_list 14 (nil))) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 98) (nil))) gpc1: ../.././xgpc exited with status 1 /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/files.pas:30: module/unit `string2' could not be compiled make[3]: *** [files.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/wing3/home1/users/sietse/hpux-gcc/gcc/p/rts' make[2]: *** [pascal.rts] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/wing3/home1/users/sietse/hpux-gcc/gcc' make[1]: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/wing3/home1/users/sietse/hpux-gcc/gcc' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 It looks like the knownbug from "p/test/knownbugs/sietse1u.pas". Locally defining the TString-type in string2.pas as was done earlier in filename.pas helps. BUT NOW: /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/filename.pas: In function `Gettempdirectory': /wing3/home1/users/sietse/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/filename.pas:513: internal error--unrecognizable insn: (insn 54 53 56 (set (zero_extract:SI (reg:SI 111) (const_int 32 [0x20]) (const_int 0 [0x0])) (reg:SI 112)) -1 (insn_list 51 (insn_list 53 (nil))) (nil)) This can be "removed" by removing the complete if-statement from Gettempdirectory. Simplifying the boolean expressing also helps. BUT NOW such an error shows up in the function BraceExpand. So something's wrong on HPUX, and it is more than suggested from the earlier bug exposed in knownbugs/sietse1u.pas I'm not familiar with the internals of gcc/gpc and I don't now how to proceed next. But hopefully this description makes some sense. Sietse Achterop P.S. The GNU-pascal side still suggests that mail for the mailing list is to be send to gpc(a)fut.fi instead of gpc(a)gnu.de.

I don't know since I haven't done much with gcc-2.95, but "does not work" can simply mean that the parameter is ignored and all languages installed will be built -- including Pascal, of course, when it was present at configure time. Anyway, someone (who knows gcc-2.95 better than I do) should probably amend the instructions in GPC's INSTALL file according to gcc-2.95's new installation procedure...

Thanks, it works. I must admit that I did not read every thing under gcc-2.95.1/install/*; I only read gcc-2.95.1/p/INSTALL which says Â“make languages=pascalÂ”. I think the latter (p/INSTALL) should be updated to match gcc-2.95.1/install/*. ---------- From: Niels Kristian Bech Jensen [SMTP:nkbj@image.dk] <mailto:[SMTP:nkbj@image.dk]> Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 1999 10:08 PM To: Mason Ip Cc: 'gpc(a)hut.fi' Subject: RE: New GPC snapshot make LANGUAGES=<xxx> is not supported anymore. You have to use the --enable-languages=<xxx> flag when you run configure. In you case: ./configure --enable-languages=pascal Read the documentation in the install directory in the gcc-2.95.1 source.

New GPC snapshot
by Peter Gerwinski 03 Nov '99

03 Nov '99

Hello, folks, a new GPC snapshot is available: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/gpc-19991030.tar.gz As usual: Source only; nothing guaranteed. Main changes since the last snapshot (19990813): * Works with gcc-2.95.x. * In preparation for a integration into GCC, most patches to the GCC backend have been obsoleted and removed. The remaining ones will either vanish, too, or be integrated into GCC. * The set-handling routines have been re-written. Set operations are handled in the RTS and should be more stable now. * Some problems with packed arrays on big-endian machines have been solved. * `-dY' is now `--debug-source'. * New options `--[no-]transparent-file-names'. * ... and much more.

Just tried it but could not compile on 32-bit Sparc Solaris 7. I used GCC-2.95.1 src (from www.sunfreeware.com) merged gpc/p to gcc-2.95.1, and patched GCC with p/diffs/gcc-2.95.1.diff. Upon Â“make LANGUAGES=pascalÂ”, it failed and complained of not knowing how to make target Â‘pascalÂ’. Note the failing dir was gcc-2.95.1/gcc/. I expected Â“makeÂ” should cd to ../p and Â“make pascalÂ” there. Anyone know how to fix it? gcc-2.95.1> make LANGUAGES=pascal make all-recursive Making all in intl Making all in lib Making all in makeinfo (cd intl && make all) make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `pascal' Current working directory /export/home/mip/tmp/gcc-2.95.1/gcc *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-gcc' gcc-2.95.1> ---------- From: Peter Gerwinski [SMTP:peter@gerwinski.de] Sent: Monday, November 01, 1999 12:47 PM To: gpc-announce(a)gnu.de Subject: New GPC snapshot Hello, folks, a new GPC snapshot is available: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/gpc-19991030.tar.gz As usual: Source only; nothing guaranteed.

new GPC snapshot

Hello, Just installed the latest GPC snapshot on a SUN ultra 5 workstation running Solaris 7. The gcc is 2.8.1 In util.c and function pascal_init() I had to comment out the following or I got compile errors: /* set_word_size = LONG_TYPE_SIZE; set_alignment = LONG_TYPE_SIZE; set_words_big_endian = 0; */ These variables didn't seem to be used anywhere?
