Apart from the target-specific configuration machinery, there shouldn't be any major differences within GCC between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for example. Especially all the compiler magic is all the same. [[!toc levels=2]] # [[General information|/gcc]] # [[Sources|source_repositories/gcc]] ## Boehm GC GCC includes an own variant of [[/Boehm_GC]] that is based on an upstream version, but with own patches, etc. This is used for Java. (There are patches (apparently not committed) that GCC itself can use it, too: .) Patches to GCC's fork should be contributed back to upstream [[/Boehm_GC]]. [[tschwinge]] reviewed (but only briefly for large parts) the differences on 2010-12-08, based on the [[GCC Git mirror's 8e79e9d43f32c8852f068da91d655297d92ac0f4 (2010-11-29) sources|source_repositories/GCC]] and Boehm GC's CVS HEAD sources from 2010-12-02, converted to [[Git, correspondingly 1c2455988a8f59a5f83b986b9156f03be395b3b6|source_repositories/boehm_gc]]. On 2010-11-17, [[tschwinge]] reviewed the Debian GCC Boehm GC changes, compared them to the upstream code, and put it into the local *hurd/boehm-gc/config_backport* branch, planning to submit it to gcc-patches after testing with the GCC testsuite. * Check * 02e191ba495b4ec87aeb961ff9afdb666287104a * ce062771587f6637ce09f79c36e24de691032919 * a9cc177ef514d6eb39db72c82911fcea2cd70dba * 7b8d306d18986cd98808c9ed5d3a696a186dc213 Looks generally OK. * a3a3fd06ae58af9591a95c94245809b0359289ff Looks OK. # Configuration Last reviewed up to the [[Git mirror's 6aed13f1c173ef4a398e10e6dc09866dbde6b324 (2011-07-15) sources|source_repositories/gcc]]. has documentation for the `configure` switches. * Configure fragments that have `*linux*` cases might/should often contain those for us (and GNU/k*BSD) as well. * `configure.ac` * `libgomp/configure.tgt` * `libstdc++-v3/configure.host` `abi_baseline_pair` etc. setting. * `libstdc++-v3/config/os/gnu-linux/*` Is used for all GNU systems, as per `libstdc++-v3/configure.host`. Should rename to `gnu` to reflect this? * `gcc/acinclude.m4`:`gcc_GAS_FLAGS`: always pass `--32` to assembler for x86 Linux. (Why?) * [[`libmudflap`|libmudflap]]. * Might [`-fsplit-stack`](http://nickclifton.livejournal.com/6889.html) be worthwhile w.r.t. our multithreaded libraries? * Also see `libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S`: comments w.r.t `TARGET_THREAD_SPLIT_STACK_OFFSET`; likely needs porting. As per `libgcc/config/i386/t-stack-i386`, the former file is only used for `-fsplit-stack` support -- which is currently enabled for us in `libgcc/config.host`, but not usable via GCC proper. * `gcc/config/gnu-user.h` defines `*SPLIT_STACK*` macros -- which aren't valid for us (yet), I think. * `--enable-languages=[...]` * GNAT is not yet ported / bootstrapped? * The Google Go's libgo (introduced in e440a3286bc89368b8d3a8fd6accd47191790bf2 (2010-12-03)) needs OS configuration / support. * `--enable-frame-pointer` `gcc/configure.ac`: `enable_frame_pointer=no` * `--with-dwarf2`? * `--enable-werror` * `--enable-checking` * `--enable-build-with-cxx` * `--enable-linker-build-id` * `--enable-gnu-unique-object` * `--enable-lto`, `--enable-gold` [[binutils_gold]] * `--enable-indirect-function` [[IFUNC]] * , * `gcc/config/t-linux` should be named `gcc/config/t-gnu-user` or similar. Likewise for `gcc/config/i386/t-linux`. * Debian's GCC package has Hurd-specific patches. Some have been forwarded upstream (and have been ignored). [[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] is working on getting them integrated. * [\[meta-bug\] bootstrap bugs for \*-gnu\*](http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21824) * [build system: gcc\_cv\_libc\_provides\_ssp and NATIVE\_SYSTEM\_HEADER\_DIR](http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-10/msg00130.html) * [-fstack-protector shouldn't use TLS in freestanding mode](http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29838) * Check before/after Joseph changes. (Should be fine.) * 34618b3190c110b8926cc2b1db4b4eac95451995 What's this used for? (Check ML.) Ask to include i686-pc-gnu (once it is buildable out of the box)? See also 73905b5de0d9a086f22ded7638bb1c0ae1b91326. * [low, testsuite] 5c7992866145620ffd0bc75b4f23298162b2c17f `check_effective_target_pie` should include `*-*-gnu*`, too. * [high] 9b0fef97f18ed5c9f2f9a361262fbb450f2b0b53 Very likely needed for us, too.
