Here's what's to be done for maintaining GCC.

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.

<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html> 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`

      * `libstdc++-v3`

          * `configure.host`

            `abi_baseline_pair` etc. setting.  `config/abi/post/*-linux-gnu`.
            TODO.

          * `config/os/gnu-linux`

            Is used for all GNU systems, as per `configure.host`.  Should
            rename to `gnu-user` to reflect this?  TODO.

      * `gcc/acinclude.m4`:`gcc_GAS_FLAGS`: always pass `--32` to assembler for
        x86 Linux.  (Why?)

      * `lib-prefix.m4` (present twice in GCC sources) contains one remaining
        `linux`-only case.

      * `libjava`

        TODO:

        <gnu_srs1> Hi, I assume gcc -fsplit-stack is not yet supported?
        <braunr> gnu_srs1:
          https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-06/msg00100.html
        <gnu_srs1> braunr: That's exactly where the problem is:
          src/libgcc/generic-morestack.c:814:__morestack_load_mmap
        <gnu_srs1> no return value recorded
        <gnu_srs1> creating a call: page = mmap ((void*)0x0, 0, 4, 2, -1, 0);,
          returning EINVAL
        <braunr> lenght of 0 ?
        <gnu_srs1> yes, __morestack_current_segment, is zero
        <braunr> mmap is expected to return einval if the requested mapping has
          a size of 0 ..
        <braunr> i don't know what split stack is, but i remember it's a
          problem for the hurd
        <gnu_srs1> sorry, the address is zero from the above, and the length in
          the call is zero too
        <braunr> yes that's what i understood
        <braunr> and i'm telling you it's normal
        <braunr> the size is invalid
        <gnu_srs1> libgcc/generic-morestack.c:  mmap
          (__morestack_current_segment, 0, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        <braunr> well this is wrong
        <gnu_srs1> and the error code stays, not being reset in subsequent
          calls
        <gnu_srs1> causing an error later on
        <braunr> as roland says in
          https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-06/msg00102.html, it
          should be possible to support split-stack now that we have tls
        <gnu_srs1> as thomas reported
        <braunr> i don't see the relation between split-stack and the mmap
          invocation
        <gnu_srs1> tls s in 2.17-97, right? that's the one I tried
        <braunr> tls is there, but not split stack support
        <braunr> and libpthread still has bugs related to changing the stack
          apparently
        <braunr> fixed upstream but not yet in debian packages
        <braunr> unless you want to try with the thread destruction packages
        <braunr> not sure it will change much though

      * Also see `libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S`: comments w.r.t
        `TARGET_THREAD_SPLIT_STACK_OFFSET`/`%gs:0x30` usage; 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`.

      * `gcc/config/gnu-user.h` defines `*SPLIT_STACK*` macros -- which aren't
        valid for us (yet), I think.

      * Also see [[!sourceware_PR 10686]], glibc commit
        ecbf434213c0333d81706074e4d107ac45011635 `Reserve new TLS field for x86
        and x86_64` (`__private_ss`).

      * Might `-fsplit-stack` be useful for us with respect to our
        [[multithreaded|multithreading]] libraries?

    Alternatively, can we use `#ifndef inhibit_libc` for this (these?) file(s)?
    See `generic-nonstrack.c`, for example.  The latter (and also
    `generic-morestack-thread.c`) also has a nice explanation of `inhibit_libc`
    which could be centralized at one place, for example definition of
    `inhibit_libc`.

  * `__GLIBC__`

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-01-05:

        <civodul> on GNU/kFreeBSD, it's GCC that defines __GLIBC__, funny
        <youpi> ??
        <youpi> not from features.h ?
        <civodul> in gcc/config/kfreebsd-gnu.h
        <civodul> :-)
        <pinotree> correct, it's enabled in gcc's config
        <pinotree> i discovered that after banging my head on the wall trying
          to find out why some stuff wasn't compiling even after kfreebsd
          porting patches adding preprocessors checks for __GLIBC__

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-05-25:

        <gnu_srs> Hi, looks like __GLIBC__ is not defined by default for GNU?
        <gnu_srs> touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h|grep LIBC: empty
        <braunr> gnu_srs: well, this only tells your the compiler defaults
        <tschwinge> gnu_srs: See the email I just sent.

    [[!message-id "87396od3ej.fsf@schwinge.name"]]

        <braunr> __GLIBC__ would probably be introduced by a glibc header
        <gnu_srs> tschwinge: I saw your email. I wonder if features.h is
          included in the kFreeBSD build of webkit.
        <gnu_srs> It is defined in their build, but not in the Hurd build.
        <pinotree> gcc on kfreebsd unconditionally defines __GLIBC__
        <pinotree> (a bit stupid choice imho, but hardly something that could
          be changed now...)
        <braunr> :/
        <braunr> personally i don't consider this only "a bit" stupid, as
          kfreebsd is one of the various efforts pushing towards portability
        <braunr> and using such hacks actually hinders portability ...
        <pinotree> yeah don't tell me, i can remember at least half dozen of
          occasions when a code wouldn't have been compiling at all on other
          glibc platforms otherwise
        <pinotree> sure, i have nothing against kfreebsd's efforts, but making
          gcc define something which is proper of the libc used is stupid
        <braunr> it is
        <pinotree> i spotted changes like:
        <pinotree> -#ifdef __linux
        <pinotree> +#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
        <pinotree> and wondered why they wouldn't work at all for us... and
          then realized there were no #include in that file before that
          preprocessor check
        <tschwinge> This is even in upstream GCC gcc/config/kfreebsd-gnu.h:
        <tschwinge> #define GNU_USER_TARGET_OS_CPP_BUILTINS()               \
        <tschwinge>   do                                            \
        <tschwinge>     {                                           \
        <tschwinge>         builtin_define ("__FreeBSD_kernel__");  \
        <tschwinge>         builtin_define ("__GLIBC__");           \
        <tschwinge>         builtin_define_std ("unix");            \
        <tschwinge>         builtin_assert ("system=unix");         \
        <tschwinge>         builtin_assert ("system=posix");        \
        <tschwinge>     }                                           \
        <tschwinge>   while (0)
        <tschwinge> I might raise this upstream at some point.
        <pinotree> tschwinge: i could guess the change was proposed by the
          kfreebsd people, so asking them before at d-bsd@d.o would be a start
        <tschwinge> pinotree: Ack.
        <pinotree> especially that they would need to fix stuff afterwards
        <pinotree> imho we could propose them the change, and if they agree put
          that as local patch to debian's gcc4.6/.7 after wheezy, so there is
          plenty of time for them to fix stuff
        <pinotree> what should be done first is, however, find out why that
          define has been added to gcc

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-01-08:

        <gnu_srs> How come __GLIBC__ is defined in gcc for kFreeBSD and not
          GNU? They sometimes use that instead of __FreeBSD_kernel__
        <pochu> it's defined by libc's /usr/include/features.h
        <gnu_srs> pochu: __GLIBC__ is defined in features.h both for GNU and
          kFreeBSD, but only in gcc/cpp for kFreeBSD: touch foo.h;gcc -E -dM
          foo.h|grep GLIBC
        <pochu> gnu_srs: #include <stdlib.h>
        <gnu_srs> pochu: they both include <features.h>
        <pochu> gnu_srs: I get __GLIBC__ defined if I include features.h
        <pochu> with an empty file (as suggested by your `touch foo.h') I don't
          get it defined, whether on hurd or linux, but I think that's expected
        <gnu_srs> pochu: might be so but it is not pre-defined in CPP, as it is
          for kFreeBSD.
        <gnu_srs> I think it should not be defined, or it should be defined by
          all three: GNU,.kFreeBSD and Linux
        <gnu_srs> an anomaly, something for tschwinge
        <braunr> https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2012/11/msg00016.html

Here's a log of a GCC build run; this is from our [[Git repository's

Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus
harmonized.

We're stuck with GCC 4.6 until there are Debian *gnat-4.7*/*gnat-4.8* packages
avaible.

This takes up around 3.5 GiB, and needs roughly 3.5 h on kepler.SCHWINGE and
15.25 h on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

## Analysis

    $ toolchain/logs/process gcc build

  * [[`checking if gcc static flag -static
    works... no`|glibc_madvise_vs_static_linking]]

    Addressed in Debian glibc.

  * `gcc/config/host-linux.c` vs. `host-default.c`

      * `gcc/config/x-linux`

  * *fixincludes* stuff

  * malloc?

        +cat ../../hurd/gcc/config/i386/gmm_malloc.h > mm_malloc.h

    Comes from `gcc/config.gcc`: `i386/t-pmm_malloc` vs. `i386/t-gmm_malloc`
    for `i[34567]86-*-linux*` vs. `i[34567]86-*-*`.

  * `libgomp`

      * `libgomp/config/linux`, `libgomp/config/linux/x86`

    `sed`ed away in `log_build*`.  TODO.

      * `-march=i486 -mtune=i686`

    `sed`ed away in `log_build*`.  This comes from `libgomp/configure.tgt`,
    where this is added to `XCFLAGS` for `i[456]86-*-linux*` only.  TODO?

# Install

    $ make install 2>&1 | tee log_install
    [...]

This takes up around 1.1 GiB, and needs roughly 5 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 37
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.


## Analysis

    $ toolchain/logs/process gcc install

  * `libtool: finish`: `ldconfig` is not run for the Hurd.

    [[libtool]].

This needs roughly 7.5 h on kepler.SCHWINGE and 3.75 h (`check-fixincludes`,
`gcc/check-ada`) + 14 h (`gcc/check-c`) + 4.5 h (`gcc/check-c++`) + 7.25 h
(`gcc/check-fortran`, `gcc/check-java`, `gcc/check-lto`, `gcc/check-objc`) +
10.25 h (`check-intl`, [...], `check-lto-plugin`, `check-target`) = 39.75 h on
coulomb.SCHWINGE.


## Analysis

  A lot of the failures are due to gcc's unwind support not knowing about signal trampoline on GNU/Hurd, this is a TODO.

    TODO.  Perhaps just timeouts?  [[!message-id
    "200609052027.NAA09861@hpsje.cup.hp.com"]].  [[!message-id
    "1227217275.6205.6.camel@janis-laptop"]].  If needed, can re-implement in
    GCC DejaGnu's `remote.exp:remote_wait` to get rid of (that is, ignore) its
    `timeout` parameter which, in DejaGnu code, is often invoked with a
    hard-coded value (that we may want to override) (or is that what
    `gcc/testsuite/lib/timeout.exp:standard_wait` is for?).  While at it,
    `libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c++/ctors.exp` and
    `libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c/externs.exp` use hard-coded timeout
    values in `remote_wait` calls (also, why don't these use the usual way of
    running tests?).

  * What is `gcc/testsuite/gcc.test-framework/test-framework.exp` and should we
    define `CHECK_TEST_FRAMEWORK` to run these tests?


## Enhancements


### `contrib/testsuite-management/`, `contrib/regression/`

### Distributed Testing


#### IRC, OFTC, #gcc, 2012-05-31

    <dnovillo> jsm28: in your mentor testing, you have the source and build
      tree available for make check?  or it's a pure installed-tree test?
    <jsm28> dnovillo: Source tree, install tree, no build tree.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: so, you run make check on top of the source tree or copy
      the */testsuite trees to a testing area?
    <jsm28> Create a site.exp and do runtest in a temporary directory.  runtest
      is pointed to the source tree to find sources.
    <jsm28> For cross testing for GNU/Linux targets, the temporary directory is
      mounted at the same path on host and target.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: thanks.  i guess i'll have to find the slice of the
      source tree i need to copy.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: for libstdc++ do you write a different site.exp? 
    <dnovillo> i noticed that it generates a different site,exp there.
    <jsm28> The site.exp is mostly the same for all testsuites (so includes
      settings that only some testsuites use).
    <dnovillo> ok, thanks.
    <dnovillo> and when you say "pointed to the source tree" you mean "set
      srcdir /path/to/top/of/gcc" ?
    <dnovillo> (in site.exp)
    <jsm28> The GDB testsuite requires that you run the GDB testsuite's
      configure script in the temporary directory where you will run runtest.
      I don't think any GCC testsuites we use have requirements like that.
    <jsm28> dnovillo: --srcdir option to runtest.
    <dnovillo> ah, yes.
    <jsm28> (and --tool, --target_board etc.)
    <dnovillo> right
    <dnovillo> since i'm distributing the tests. i want each node to only do a
      bunch of files.  this means that i either use 'tool.exp=file-pattern' or
      simply copy the subset of files i want tool.exp to find.
    <dnovillo> i chose the second approach, but that breaks in a handful of
      cases that need files from other sub-directories.
    <dnovillo> like g++.dg gcc.dg using stuff from c-c++-common.
    <dnovillo> for libstdc++, the possibilities for splitting are enormous as
      it has many directories.
    <dnovillo> but i'm not setting it right.  runtest runs without even trying
      to test anything.
    <dnovillo> i'm not having it pick up the right driver.
    <jsm28> Probably all .exp files should be copied to anywhere running
      testsuites, since some read .exp files from other directories.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: that could be it too.  it's irritating that libstdc++
      does not even error out.  runtest just does nothing and returns 0.

##### IRC, OFTC, #gcc, 2012-06-06

    <dnovillo> any libstdc++ maintainer around?
    <dnovillo> or, does anyone know when the testsuite/data files are copied
      into the running testsuite/ dir?
    <dnovillo> seems to be done in advance by make.
