Subject: FTBFS: does not build with gcc-3.3 on i386

Hello,

I tried to build kdemultimedia on a fresh updated pbuilder (i386). It

This appears to be a problem with the kernel headers included with
glibc. I am changing submitter to myself and reassigning this bug
to glibc.

Could you try new glibc 2.3.2-2?  And I think it's not glibc problem.
If you still get errors with 2.3.2-2, please reassign it to
kernel-headers-2.4.21-3.

I haven't try to build kdemultimedia yet, but there was also the same
problem on what of my package, lineakd. It now build correctly, at least
on i386. I'll try to upload a new version later to see if it works on
all architectures.

No please don't.  User space should never include kernel header files.

glibc has been violating this rule since day one.  That's OK except
that when it breaks you get to keep both pieces.

Still fails.  -fpermissive downgrades it to a warning, allowing the
build to complete, though, so at least there's a workaround.

I see  why you say that - it is a kernel header, but it's getting
installed by libc6-dev.

steve:~$ dpkg -S /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h

I am building in a pbuilder chroot, no kernel headers installed there.
However, if you think that because the header originally comes from the
kernel, that's where it belongs, you can reassign.

Thanks,

Scratch that.  -fpermissive no longer allows it to build - I just didn't
wait long enough to get to the part that fails.  It seems that the ISO
C++ issue has been resolved, only to be replaced by a new one.  Some 
change in this version gives me a new error:

  asm("xchgl %0,%1" : "=r" (v.s.a), "=r" (v.s.b) : "0" (v.s.a), "1" (v.s.b));
#endif

and swab.h (lines 198-216):

#ifdef __BYTEORDER_HAS_U64__
static __inline__ __const__ __u64 __fswab64(__u64 x)
{
#  ifdef __SWAB_64_THRU_32__
  __u32 h = x >> 32;
        __u32 l = x & ((1ULL<<32)-1);
        return (((__u64)__swab32(l)) << 32) | ((__u64)(__swab32(h)));
#  else
  return __arch__swab64(x);
#  endif
}
static __inline__ __u64 __swab64p(__u64 *x)
{
  return __arch__swab64p(x);
}
static __inline__ void __swab64s(__u64 *addr)
{
  __arch__swab64s(addr);
}

I must say I don't immediately see the problem there.  Perhaps we're
barking up the wrong tree here, and this is a problem with g{cc,++}
barfing on perfectly good code?

could the following code from asm/types.h be the problem:

Subject: How can this be fixed?

Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 22:51:38 +0100

So, the problem is that

kaudiocreator/cdconfigimp.cpp includes
linux/cdrom.h

OK, let's try creating an *entirely userspace* linux/cdrom.h.
Oops, can't do that:

struct request_sense {
#if defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
        __u8 valid              : 1;
        __u8 error_code         : 7;
#elif defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
        __u8 error_code         : 7;
        __u8 valid              : 1;
#endif

glibc does not define an equivalent symbol, afaict.  bits/endian.h defines
__BYTE_ORDER but says nothing about bitfields.  I can't find a machine
which has them different, but I doubt you'll receive sympathy from
linux-kernel if you want to replace them.

Seems to me a good start would be to add __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD or
__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD defines to <bits/endian.h> or even add to
<endian.h>:

#if !defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD) && !defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
# if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#  define __LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD
# elif __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
#  define __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD
# endif
#endif

Then we have to change <linux/cdrom.h>, but that'll be easier.

We were chatting in #debian-glibc yesterday about the idea of not using
stock kernel-headers.  I need to check with gotom, but I think we've
finally agreed on doing that.  I've been looking at the email you sent
me with suggestions on how to handle them.

Thanks for being willing to offer advice through all of this!

I thought that upstream had worked around this issue but I just tried
recompiling kdemultimedia and it still fails the same way. Is anyone
planning to upload a fixed libc6-dev anytime soon? I even tried using
-fpermissive as someone had said could work around the issue but it did
not help.

So, in the new glibc in 'experimental', there's a separate glibc (non-stock)

Could someone please test, as this is important to kde?

The next upload of linux-kernel-headers should fix it.  It doesn't let
kdemultimedia build though.  I still get:

This may have been fixed with KDE 3.1.4, the version of kdemultimedia in
the archive is from KDE 3.1.2. I will take a look at it further once the
new linux-kernel-headers are in the archive.

Thanks,

This bug is caused by kdemultimedia compilation flag "-pedantic" +
"-ansi".  If I removed these flags from all configure settings on
alpha, then the compilation becomed ok.  (But it failed at kmidi.cpp
on alpha if I removed "-pedantic" - it's another bug of
kdemultimedia?):

Kdemultimedia needs to use linux kernel headers, and some linux kernel
headers are not ready for strict ANSI.  Well it's good idea to fix all
linux kernel headers as "GCC -pedantic -ansi ready" but it's minor
issue.  If you compile all sources with -pedantic, then you encounter
a lot of compilation problems.

I recommend you not to use -pedantic for kdemultimedia.  Is there any
reason to add this -pedantic flag for this software?  Could you remove
such flags and recompile?  I also think it's good idea to check and
update a lot of warnings and configure.

And then, I saw this URI that SuSE guys encountered this problem; it
seemed they also suggested the answer which I found at last.

BTW, I would like to know why ISO C++ forbits braced-groups.

Actually, I maintain kcdlabel, a KDE program that #includes linux/cdrom.h 
and so gets bitten by the same bugs as kdemultimedia.  I will try
without -pedantic and see if that helps.

The thing is, they managed to fix this for at least i386 by making sure
that some pieces of asm/byteorder.h (IIRC) weren't pulled in in
userspace apps, but were reserved for kernel level things - I think this
is ultimately the smart way to go for all arches.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #203303

It looks like the problem is that these various KDE programs are using
-ansi, and -ansi implies -fno-asm.  This in itself wouldn't be the
problem, but:
           The -ansi option does not cause non-ISO programs to be
           rejected gratuitously.  For that, -pedantic is required 
           in addition to -ansi.
- taken from the FM.

It appears that at least my program is building fine on many arches that
it previously failed on once I removed the -ansi and -pedantic lines.  I
have not yet tested kdemultimedia.

So, I would say that while it would be great if the linux-kernel-headers
package could provide ansi compliant headers, I realize that that will
not be trivial to implement, and as there appears to be a functional
workaround, I suggest downgrading to important or normal.  If you agree,
please do so.  I will cc: Chris on this as well, so he knows that there
are wokrarounds at least.
