bug#73415: 30.0.91; Emacs 30 build fails on Ubuntu 24.04

[Mark Grosen]

Building Emacs 30.0.91 and later on Ubuntu 24.04 fails with a
"Pure Lisp overflowed" error. To workaround this issue, I used
the following build steps:

make bootstrap MYCPPFLAGS='-DSYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA=200000'
./configure
make MYCPPFLAGS='-DSYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA=400000'

Note that the 'bootstrap' build required a smaller extra size
on my system.

With these changes, the build succeeded and Emacs appears to
function normally. This was required on the current emacs-30
branch.



In GNU Emacs 30.0.91 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-09-21 built on sam

Thanks, but 400KB of pure space is too much to just increase the size
without understanding why this is needed.  Did you really need 400KB,
or would a smaller number do?  If the latter, what is the smallest
addition that avoids the overflow in your case?

Also, please answer the following questions:

  . what was the absolute file name of the top-level directory where
    you unpacked the pretest tarball (assuming that this happens with
    building the pretest, not a Git checkout)?
  . what were the commands you used to build?
  . does the problem go away if you build a "normal" Emacs, i.e. not a
    PGTK build?

290000 is the smallest that works, with or without --with-pgtk

This is built from git checkout of emacs-30 or emacs-30.0.91 in
/home/mark/Stuff/emacs

I did some more experiments and found that my original build commands
fail but the first suggested one
in INSTALL.repo works.

> . what were the commands you used to build?

Fails:
git clean -fdx
make bootstrap -j12
./configure --with-webp
make -j12

Works:
git clean -fdx
make -j12 configure="--with-webp"

However, the first way does work if there are no 'configure' options.
Any option to configure causes a failure.

> . does the problem go away if you build a "normal" Emacs, i.e. not a
    PGTK build?

no, only if there are no options

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, in that case I think this is a known issue, and we decided not
to fix it on the emacs-30 release branch because building the pretest
tarball (which doesn't require to go via bootstrap) works with the
original pure-size.

Andrea, what did we decide regarding the long-term solution for this?
Did we mean to somehow solve the issue with dynamic doc strings?

AFAIR we dedided that for master we®'ll extend the code to support
native compiled functions with lazy docs and we'll emit them even while
native compiling.

OK, so the decision is indeed not to try solving this on emacs-30.  I
wasn't sure.

Thanks.

That was my understanding at least, as we could not find a simple
fix/workaround with limited impact we could install in emacs-30.  Of
course if you have a different suggestion please voice it.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. I know how to build more efficiently now, so my
issue is closed. I will leave it to you if this warrants a line in the changelog
or INSTALL.repo.

I appreciate your quick and friendly help - thanks for all you do for Emacs!

Thanks, closing the bug.

We might do that, but I'd first need to understand better your reasons
for using "make bootstrap" when building from a tarball.  The Emacs
release and pretest tarballs are intentionally prepared to make the
build as fast as possible, which is why all the platform-independent
files produced by bootstrapping (notably, the configure script, all
the *.elc files, and all the Info manuals) are included in the
tarball.  So why did you decide to bootstrap?

bug#73415: 30.0.91; Emacs 30 build fails on Ubuntu 24.04

[Mark Grosen]

Maybe it was not clear earlier in the thread, but I am using:

>>>> This is built from git checkout of emacs-30 or emacs-30.0.91 in /home/mark/Stuff/emacs

I have been using a simple script to build in-development snapshots
from git for a while and, for
historical reasons (?), always used the sequence of:

git clean -fdx
make bootstrap
./configure
make

I guess this is really not necessary any more so I will switch to the
simpler methods in INSTALL.REPO.
