Compilation error with stable-2.0 branch

Compilation error with stable-2.0 branch

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi,

compiling TOT of this branch (commit
9dadfa47b07548ff5cf3604067910c8aece93c42 [fix prompt in fix in
single-value context compilation]) fails like this:

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/src/git/guile/libguile'
make  all-am

Compilation of the tag "v2.0.0" succeeds.  Installed locally is
gc-7.2alpha4.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks

No, I don't think so; thanks for reporting it.  FWIW I see it too, also
with gc-7.2alpha4.

Sorry about that.  Fixed in git.

Thanks for your effort but I'm still not successful building it.

The dependency tracking in the build system seems to be a little bit
shaky.  I simply updated my git repo to current TOT
(8cf49d836ff41838812cba1fd61bfce3fb877144 [fix compilation with libgc
7.0, 7.1]) and did a "make".  This resulted in warnings like this:

At that point I stopped, did a "make clean && make".  This time it
failed like this:

Now I tried a "make distclean && ./configure && make" still with the
same error, so I cranked up git bisect between TOT and v2.0.0 and it
found this commit to be the problem:

12c1d8616d8dfedcad65f34e3968f9544b629ae1 is the first bad commit

Date:   Fri Mar 25 13:01:51 2011 +0100

    threading / with_guile refactor to use more GC_stack_base

Unfortunately to verify that git bisect is right, I would need to revert
that commit and check the result, but this is not possible without
conflicts.  So maybe this git bisect simply found the previous
problem....

Sorry that I cannot be more helpful.

Hi Detlev,

I'm sincerely sorry that you are going through this pain.  It pains me

How could this be?  Based on your earlier reports, this git revision
should not compile at all, as it uses GC_pthread_cancel et al.

What bdw-gc version do you have installed?

hi, I got the same problem today. While I tried bdwgc-7_2alpha5-20110107
the problem's gone. Good luck! :-)

Hey, no problem.  I've got v2.0.0 if I wanted, but I decided that
reporting my experiences maybe worthwhile.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I wasn't 100% sure that this was the commit
that introduced the problem.  As I've used "git bisect run make"
basically blind, I already suspected that it was a false alarm, but I
did not want to throw away the output of roughly an hour of compilation
;)

> What bdw-gc version do you have installed?

As I wrote previously, I have gc-7.2alpha4 installed.  If I can help
with testing anything, just let me know.

Thanks

No, it's a good report!  As it happens I see it as well now, after a
make clean.  I think I've tracked it down to
56dbc8a89958fcc401b0980ffcd0047f20470cd3; but the bug is not in the
introduced code, I don't think; I believe it's in pre-boot `catch' or
something.  Anyway, will find it soon.

Fixed, I believe.  Please let me know if you can still reproduce the
problem.

Hi Andy,

My build is successful now, thanks for the prompt action!  

After the mail from nalaginrut I tried switching to
bdwgc-7_2alpha5-20110107 but as expected this did not help with the last
error.  To keep my original setup I switched back to gc-7.2alpha4 and
can confirm that this setup also works perfectly fine.

Thanks
