Bootstrap failure

Bootstrap failure

[Romain Francoise]

Sometime in the last three weeks a regression was introduced which
leads a to build failure when bootstrapping, as follows:

| Loading files...
| Loading cus-face...
| Loading faces...
| Loading minibuffer...
| Loading button...
| Loading startup...
| Invalid function: "/home/romain/src/emacs/emacs.git/lisp/startup.elc"
| make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
| make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/romain/src/emacs/emacs.git/src'
| make: *** [src] Error 2

I can reliably reproduce it with the following steps:

 1. Start from a clean checkout
 2. ./configure && make
 3. make distclean
 4. ./configure && make

Step four fails with the message above. When in that situation,
doing 'make src' fails, but 'make -C src' works. This probably
points to a problem with the handling of BOOTSTRAPEMACS, but I'm not
sure what.

I have bisected the problem, and it seems to have appeared first¹ after
the removal of generated-autoload-feature and the switch from require to
load in numerous files in Stefan's change from 2009-11-03 (commit
11203bc8dfccc062b7727fa5c5ecda0fd39fb37f for those who are using the git
repository).

¹ The version from that commit does not actually build, so I cannot say
  that with 100% certainty.

Is this on windows?  I can't reproduce the problem on GNU/Linux.

It happens for me (on GNU/Linux).  Also for Jan Djärv (probably on some
Unix, judging by the error pathname).

Start temacs under the debugger.  Place a breakpoint on Fsignal.
Look at the backtrace.

I think the failure at startup.elc is due to the following change:

2009-11-04  Dan Nicolaescu  <dann@ics.uci.edu>

	* emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-output-file-form): Handle defvaralias.

Could you try the patch below if it gives a good result?

Steps to reproduce:
% make bootstrap
% make clean
% make

It also happens for OSX 10.6.  Backtrace:

This morning's checkout cannot bootstrap, terminating with the following

Preload advice on insert-directory

If this is relevant, it's an out of tree build.  One of many that
execute to generate Android prebuilts.

Same problem here, on Cygwin, GTK build:

So, even enabling scroll-bars, the trunk bootstrap fails. :(

It's not related to the scrollbars, but the auto-save-mode change, as
Stephen pointed out.

I think just reverting this part of the commit is enough to bootstrap.

[Stephen Berman]

I just updated from the trunk, did 
configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars 
then make bootstrap, which failed with these messages:

Loading /home/steve/bzr/emacs/quickfixes/lisp/files.el (source)...

make[1]: *** [src] Error 2

I assume this is due to an oversight involving this change:

2010-05-06  Stefan Monnier  <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>

	* minibuffer.el (completion--sreverse, completion--common-suffix):
	New functions.
	(completion-pcm--merge-completions): Extract common suffix when safe.

	* emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (define-minor-mode):
	Make :variable more flexible.
	* files.el (auto-save-mode): Use it to define using define-minor-mode.

and not a real bug, that's why I'm reporting it here.

my bad.  i only changed Makefile.in target `recompile',
not thinking more broadly (about bootstrap and other
processes).  so it looks like i did not fix the problem
but instead made it worse.  sorry about that.

i have just checked in src/eval.c that initializes the
value of `max-specpdl-size' to 650, as well as reverted
lisp/Makefile.in for both `recompile' and `compile'.

(at first i thought it would be better to address the
problem where it showed up, but now i think Stefan's
suggestion to bump the value is better because it is
more general.)

Yes, but apparently you need a similar change to _compile_ to make
`make bootstrap' work, instead of just `make recompile'.  I just
installed that change.  I do not know whether there still are
additional places in lisp/Makefile.in that need a similar change.
