Hello,

I would recommend using the 1.8.x series instead of 1.6.8 unless you
really need 1.6, in which case we can try to work this out.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

The test that fails is supposed to link with the not-yet-installed
version of libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1 somewhere under
/daten/source/guile-1.6.8/srfi, but it is actually picking up an
already installed library under /opt/freeware/lib.

Also, according to google, the invalid magic number message most often
indicates a 32-bit/64-bit mixup.  So perhaps the installed library is
64-bit, and the one you're trying to build is 32-bit.

Anyway, it looks like you could solve the problem by somehow hiding
the /opt/freeware/lib libraries when building Guile.

I checked this build again and I think I have found the problem.
The build tools (libtool/autoconf/config.guess) used by guile 1.6.8 do 
not support AIX 6.1
So the build of the shared libraries fail.

I have patched the configure scripts and I have refreshed libtool / 
config.guess.
Now I have a different problem:

FAIL: check-guile
===================
1 of 1 tests failed
===================

If the build tools (config.guess, libtool, autoconf) are updated to 
newer version than the shared library problem is gone.
I have used the latest config.guess + libtool-1.5-branch and I have 
patched the two configure scripts to support AIX 6.1.

I have attached my build logs to this mail.

Any ideas ??

  Rainer

Those errors would occur if realloc(NULL, 0) returns NULL on AIX.
(Whereas on GNU/Linux, it returns non-NULL.)  Can you try
realloc(NULL, 0) and confirm/deny that it gives NULL for you?

Thanks,

int main(void)

    t = (char*)realloc(NULL, 0);
    if (t == NULL)
    {

Under Linux: is not NULL
Under AIX: is NULL

Thanks for confirming this.  Could you try the attached patch (for
1.8.3) and confirm that it fixes these errors?

Thanks,

Note: in HEAD, we could use the `malloc' and `realloc' Gnulib modules to
address this.

Hmm, yes, we could.  But (i) gnulib's malloc works by allocating 1
byte when 0 are requested, so would introduce small errors into our GC
counting, (ii) I think it's quite easy anyway just to avoid making the
0-byte malloc calls.

The avoidance patch apparently works, so I will go ahead with that for
now.  We can always come back to the gnulib approach if we need to in
future.

        Neil

I will try to find the problem.

The following is true for both guile 1.6.x and 1.8.x:

The build tools used (config.guess, libtool, autoconf) are to old for 
AIX 6.1.
With the old tools it is not possible to build a shared version.

I managed to build a shared version of guile 1.6.8 witch passes the 
shared test but which fails the srfi-4.test test (please see last post 
to the list).

For the build tools I have used the following versions:

* config.guess: GNU config.guess (2008-01-07)
* libtool:  libtool --version / ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.25a 
(1.1220.2.481 2008/01/12 13:58:43)
* manual patch to configure; add aix6* after each aix5* -> I did not 
want to regenerated the whole thing with the new autoconf

The fix for that is to globally replace "func_data" in libguile/*.[ch]
by "fn_data".  This is already in our CVS, so will be OK in 1.8.4.

OK, we can look into upgrading to these... but can you give specific
references for the AIX problems that were fixed in between the
versions that we used for 1.6.8/1.8.3 and the versions here?

Thanks,

OK,
this works...

Now I am getting the foolowing errors:

gc_os_dep.c:1158:1: error: "MACH_TYPE" redefined
gc_os_dep.c:1065:1: error: this is the location of the previous definition
gc_os_dep.c:1161:1: error: "ALIGNMENT" redefined
gc_os_dep.c:1066:1: error: this is the location of the previous definition

I have to look into this...

Thats very simple. The old build tools do not recognize AIX 6.1.

The new version of config.guess returns: powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0
The old version returns: rs6000-ibm-aix

As a result of the rs6000-ibm-aix the old libtool is not able to build 
shared binaries on AIX 6.1
To be able to build on AIX 6.1 you need at least: config.guess/.sub and 
libtool 1.5.26
+ patched configure scripts (aix5* | aix6*) or autoconf-2.61a from 
January ...

Re: guile 1.6.8 make check failure on AIX 6.1

Hello Neil,
sorry to bother you again...

Now I have another error:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
numbers.c: In function 'guile_ieee_init':
numbers.c:617: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break 
strict-aliasing rules
numbers.c:640: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break 
strict-aliasing rules
numbers.c: In function 'scm_exp':
numbers.c:6081: error: '__I' undeclared (first use in this function)
numbers.c:6081: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
numbers.c:6081: error: for each function it appears in.)

The error in line 617/640 could be resolved by an -fno-strict-aliasing 
but the error in line 6081 is a real one...

#define SCM_COMPLEX_VALUE(z)                                    \
  (SCM_COMPLEX_REAL (z) + _Complex_I * SCM_COMPLEX_IMAG (z))

The problem is in _Complex_I

AIX 6.1 defines in complex.h

/*.
 * a constant expression of type const float _Complex with the
 * value of the imaginary unit. (a number i such that i**2 =-1).
 * __I is provided by the AIX xlc C99 compiler.
 * WARNING: DO NOT USE __I DIRECTLY in an application. Always
 * use _Complex_I .
 */
#define _Complex_I    __I

Would it be possible to changed this:

 From gcc doc:

To write a constant with a complex data type, use the suffix `i' or `j' 
(either one; they are equivalent). For example, |2.5fi| has type 
|_Complex float| and |3i| has type |_Complex int|. Such a constant 
always has a pure imaginary value, but you can form any complex value 
you like by adding one to a real constant. This is a GNU extension; if 
you have an ISO C99 conforming C library (such as GNU libc), and want to 
construct complex constants of floating type, you should include 
|<complex.h>| and use the macros |I| or |_Complex_I| instead.

#define SCM_COMPLEX_VALUE(z)                                    \
  (SCM_COMPLEX_REAL (z) + _Complex_I * SCM_COMPLEX_IMAG (z))

#define SCM_COMPLEX_VALUE(z)                                    \
  (SCM_COMPLEX_REAL (z) + 1.0fi * SCM_COMPLEX_IMAG (z))

The second version works with gcc 4.2.2 and IBM XL C/C++ 9.0
