This seems to cause build failure on 32-bit GNU/Linux.
build.i686-linux on hydra fails since this commit was merged to master:

https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1408828

(Sadly the hydra build logs seem to be missing at the moment, so there's
nothing informative there.)

I reproduced the issue on 64-bit RHEL7 building the emacs-26 branch with

./configure --without-all --without-x CC="gcc -m32"

The command "./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap" simply exits
immediately with no output and status 0.

With 9e59de9 reverted, the same build completes ok.

Paul, maybe we should simply go back a few notches and not mark
main_thread as GCALIGNED, except on that single platform which needed
it (i.e. via #ifdef)?  Then we could return all the other symbols to
their previous syntax.

Or maybe we should move GCALIGNED to yet another position, like at the
beginning or the end of the whole construct.  Like this:

   GCALIGNED struct foo FOO;
or
   struct foo FOO GCALIGNED;

Not sure what else can we do, but this seems to be an exceptionally
fragile feature, at least with GCC 7 that many people are using.

I've investigated this further, and neither solution is likely to work. It is 
merely the luck of the draw that we have seen the bug only on that platform so 
far, and a similar bug is likely to occur on other platforms. Neither GCALIGNED 
syntax works in general (see GCC bug 82914) and we've seen examples of failures 
with either syntax.

I have thought of a solution that fixes the problem by dropping use of GCALIGNED 
and instead using classic C unions along with 'char alignas (8)'. The idea is to 
gcalign a 'struct foo' this way:

    union gcaligned_foo { struct foo s; char alignas (8) gcaligned; };

Something like this should work on all platforms that Emacs ports to. I plan to 
work on a first cut tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be more reliable to use something like

  union gcaligned_foo { struct foo s; int64_t gcaligned; };

IOW, should we rely on alignas?  There could be dragons there too, no?

Are int64_t necessarily aligned on multiples of 8 on 32bit platforms?

> IOW, should we rely on alignas?  There could be dragons there too, no?

FWIW, for the dummy alignment thingy I wouldn't use `char` (I wouldn't be
surprised to see errors in compilers when asking to align on multiples
of N for objects smaller than N), so maybe

    #define gc_aligned(typename) \
       union { typename s; int64_t alignas (GCALIGNMENT) dummy; };

I'm not super happy about the "64" in there (which hardcodes basically
the value of GCALIGNMENT).  Depending on how alignas can be used to
impose alignment of an array, we could try:

    typedef char gcsized_t[GCALIGNMENT];
    #define gc_aligned(typename) \
       union { typename s; gcsized_t alignas (GCALIGNMENT) dummy; }

but maybe getting rid of this 64 is not that important.


        Stefan

No, unfortunately.

That does not work either, alas, as C11 says 'alignas (8)' is an error when the 
natural alignment of the object is less than 8. This is one of the problems that 
we have encountered in earlier attempts to fix this bug. 'char alignas (8)' 
avoids this problem.

If we run into a platform where alignas (8) does not work either natively or via 
Gnulib emulation, the patch I'm working on has a 'verify' check that should 
result in a build failure. Although I have some ideas for fixing the situation 
if it arises, they would add some complexity (and would depend on the details of 
any problematic hosts), and I'd rather avoid this if possible.

That was my impression as well.

I don't follow: the natural alignment for `char` is definitely less than
8, so if "'alignas (8)' is an error when the natural alignment of the
object is less than 8", how can "char alignas (8)" avoid the problem?

It's the other way round: alignas(8) is an error when the natural alignment
of the object is *greater* than 8.

I was confused (:-). I suppose I was worried about the admittedly unlikely 
possibility of a platform where alignof (int64_t) exceeds 8. This worry stemmed 
from an earlier iteration of this fix, where we ran into such a type on 
MS-Windows. Although perhaps I'm worrying too much, the point remains that 
because int64_t's alignment is not always a multiple of 8, using int64_t for 
alignment would not suffice for platforms where alignas does not work.

Also, there's at least one type (struct vectorlike_header) where alignment is 
convenient, and where the type's size is smaller than int64_t on some platforms, 
so using int64_t for alignment there would cause objects of this type (and of 
its containing types) to grow unnecessarily.

Patches attached. They work for me on various platforms including gcc -m32 on 
Fedora 26 x86-64 (which is close to the platform Glenn mentioned). The 2nd patch 
does the real work: most of it consists of changing private accessors to account 
for the newly-introduced unions. It shrinks the source code a bit, which is a 
good sign. I plan to test a bit more before installing; comments welcome.

From 19634bef6a161a513ace9669341efac8e782b732 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 19:10:44 -0800
Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Use alignas to fix GCALIGN-related bugs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Use alignas and unions to specify alignments of objects needing
addresses that are at least a multiple of GCALIGNMENT.  Using
these standard C facilities should be safer than relying on ad hoc
and poorly-understood features like GCC’s __attribute__
((aligned (N))), the root cause for recent porting bugs like
Bug#29040.  The alignas macro was standardized by C11 and Gnulib
supports alignas for pre-C11 platforms.  I have tested this on Sun
Studio 12 sparc (2007) and GCC 4.4.7 x86-64 (2012) as well as on
more recent platforms like GCC 7.2.1 (2017) on Fedora 26 (both
x86-64 and x86).
* lib-src/make-docfile.c (close_emacs_globals): lispsym is now
just an array of struct Lisp_Symbol, since struct Lisp_Symbol is
now properly aligned.  All uses changed.
* src/alloc.c (NEXT_FREE_LISP_STRING): Just use the new u.next
member; this is simpler and safer than casting a pointer that
might not be aligned properly.
(aligned_Lisp_Symbol): Remove.  No longer needed, now that struct
Lisp_Symbol is aligned properly.  All uses replaced with struct
Lisp_Symbol.
* src/lisp.h (GCALIGNED): Remove, as it does not work as expected:
it can cause the natural alignment to be ignored.  All uses
replaced by unions with a ‘char alignas (GCALIGNMENT)’ member as
described below.
(struct Lisp_Symbol, struct Lisp_Cons, struct Lisp_String):
Change definition from ‘struct TAG { MEMBERS };’ to
‘struct TAG { union { struct { MEMBERS } s; char alignas
(GCALIGNMENT) gcaligned; } u; };’.  This guarantees ‘struct TAG’
to have an alignment that at least max (GCALIGNMENT, N) where N is
its old alignment.  All uses like ‘PTR->MEMBER’ changed to
‘PTR->u.s.MEMBER’; these uses were supposed to be mostly private
anyway.  Verify that the resulting ‘struct TAG’ is properly
aligned for Emacs.
(union vectorlike_header): New member ‘gcaligned’ to guarantee
that this type, and its containing types like ‘struct Lisp_Subr’,
‘struct buffer’ and ‘struct thread_state’, are all properly
aligned for Emacs.
(struct Lisp_String): New union member ‘next’, for the benefit
of NEXT_FREE_LISP_STRING.
(union Aligned_Cons, union Aligned_String): Remove.  All uses
replaced by struct Lisp_Cons and struct Lisp_String, since they
are now properly aligned.
(USE_STACK_CONS, USE_STACK_STRING): Simplify now that we can
assume struct Lisp_Cons and struct Lisp_String are properly
aligned.

There's one more place we can simplify the code because Emacs no longer uses 
__attribute__ ((aligned (8))). Further patch attached. As a bonus this 
eliminates the slightly-ridiculous Fcons loop in emacs-module.c.

[-- Attachment #2: 0001-Simplify-by-removing-HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED.patch --]

Subject: [PATCH] Simplify by removing HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED

* configure.ac (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove.  No longer
needed, since we no longer rely on __attribute__ ((aligned (8))).
All uses removed.
* src/emacs-module.c (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove.
(lisp_to_value): Simplify now that we no longer need to worry
whether HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED is false.

Builds normally here on a 32-bit Windows XP with GCC 4.8.1.

This patch doesn't apply here (on top of the two previous ones).

Odd, the copy I received via the list is identical to what I sent, and it 
applies here. The copy archived here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-11/txtI3snHdSqSz.txt

has ">" prepended to the first "From " line and censors my email address, which 
I think is normal for lists.gnu.org; it has no other changes. Anyway, I'm 
attaching the patch again, this time with a ".txt" extension instead of a 
".patch" extension; sometimes that helps.

Subject: [PATCH] Simplify by removing HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED

* configure.ac (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove.  No longer
needed, since we no longer rely on __attribute__ ((aligned (8))).
All uses removed.
* src/emacs-module.c (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove.
(lisp_to_value): Simplify now that we no longer need to worry
whether HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED is false.

Thanks for checking. I tested it a bit on more-obscure platforms, and found and 
worked around a related problem on AIX xlc (a compiler bug), and installed the 
result on the emacs-26 branch.

Thanks.  I suppose you can close a couple of bugs then ...
