The condition in the gcc-aux buildlink3.mk file requires the file
mk/pkg-build-options.mk to be included in order to work. This fixes the
bug introduced yesterday.
The NLS option is optional, but the buildlink pulled in gettext-lib
unconditionally. This caused failures in Tinderbox and pbuld chroot
when gettext-lib couldn't be found in those clean environments. The
final result is that all Ada programs file to build in those environments.
Also removed whitespace from DESC.
and various attempts to fix it have failed. Plus, gcc3 is highly obsolete
at this point and it's hardly worth spending effort on this. I believe
gcc-java support is available in most or all of the gcc4 packages.
Until now, GCC builders had to choose between Ada and C/C++ on the
following platforms:
i386-FreeBSD
i386-DragonFly
On these platforms, depending on the value of the configuration macro
TARGET_96_ROUND_53_LONG_DOUBLE, either Ada precision or C/C++ long
double precision was broken. The reason is that the floating point unit
of these platforms round off real-time calculations to 53-bit mantissas.
GCC will adjust accordingly to compensate. Since a common backend is used
for all languages, one had to choice which language they wanted correct.
The solution is to break out the object file responsible for this from
the common backend library. Ada now receives an altered version of
insn-modes.o, one that instructs the FPU not to round off the results.
This is all handled by patched Makefiles.
Other changes:
- Configure DragonFly to add ".note.GNU-stack" section to assembly files
to determine if program needs executable stacks
- Skip 2 subtests of Wconversion-real on i386 FreeBSD and DragonFly.
Due to the rounding behavior mentioned above, they fail to produce
error messages as expected. It's not possible to set target with
xfail, and every target && target seems not work work. So we will
assume all gcc-aux platform targets are long-double capabile and
just set xfail for x86 FreeBSD and DragonFly.
- Rework Fortran large real test 2 to skip on x86_64 *BSD. This test
should pass on x86 machines.
- Rework Fortran large real test 3 to be skipped when compiles with -O0
only x86_64 machines. All other combinations will pass.
- Rename C format test typedef from quad_t to quad2_t. DragonFly
has a standard type called quad_t and the type conflict causes a
large number of gcc tests to fail.
- Add dummy dg-error line to avoid an assembly comparison tests on
large files not built (test was marked as UNSUPPORTED but dejagnu is
too dumb to know not to check for the tests' products.)
- Reorder path passed during build when using an already-built gcc-aux
compiler to build new compiler. If gnat-aux is also installed, it
would use the gnat* tools from that compiler rather than gcc-aux
which results in build failure (different versions of tools are
getting used together resulting in build failure).
> ruby193 binary built on NetBSD/sparc64 with gcc 4.5.1 and the default -O2
> dumps core during generating RDocs.
> Using -O1 works around.
ruby193 binary with this hacks.mk is confirmed by running net/mikutter
on Ultra5.
Like i386-FreeBSD, the i386-DragonFly floating point unit uses a 53-bit
mantissa. GCC uses the TARGET_96_ROUND_53_LONG_DOUBLE macro to know
which platforms behave this way.
Unfortunately, setting this macro to 1 breaks precision on Ada, and
leaving it at 0 breaks precision on c/c++ long double handling. However
lang/gcc47 likely will never support Ada, so we'll favor c/c++. This
is only an issue for i386; the setting on x86_64 should be zero as it
uses 64-bit precision.
The primary difference between this compiler package and lang/gcc47 is
that lang/gcc-aux supports the Ada language. Additionally, it is
intended that the USE_LANGUAGES makefile variable whill be extended to
recognize "ada" as a valid language, and that specifying it will cause
lang/gcc-aux to be used to build the package.
All current Ada-based packages will be modified to build with
USE_LANGUAGES+= ada rather than specifying a dependency on lang/gnat-aux,
the other Ada-capable compiler in pkgsrc based on gcc-4.6.3.
lang/gcc-aux supports C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Ada by default,
but the latter four languages can be disabled via the options framework.
The three non-default options are "nls", "testsuite" and "static" which
enable Native Language Support, languages tests, and building the compiler
statically.
The "static" option is unalterably enabled for NetBSD in order to use dl_iterate_phdr error handling on NetBSD 6. On the NetBSD 6 beta builds,
exceptions won't unwind properly with the libgcc_s shared library, and
the issue seems to be external to gcc-aux. It's hoped the libgcc_s
exception handling works on NetBSD 5.x series as dl_iterate_phdr isn't
supported by rtld there, but gcc-aux hasn't been tested on 5.x yet.
lang/gcc-aux can be built by 5 platforms currently: NetBSD i386/x86_64,
DragonFly i386/x86_64, and OpenSolaris i386. New platform support
requires new bootstraps. FreeBSD i386/x86_64 could be added easily as
bootstrap compilers are available for FreeBSD ports lang/gnat-aux.
OpenBSD bootstrap compilers have been built but never used, but further
patches are on a couple of gcc's configuration files are needed as well
as testing to provide OpenBSD support.
All five platforms pass all tests (over 3200) in the Ada testsuite.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html
for more information about improvements over the GCC 4.6 series.

ECL 12.2.1:
===========
* Bugs fixed:
- Fixed several dozens of typos.
- ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST did not work properly with logical pathnames.
- EXT:SET-LIMIT with option EXT:FRAME-STACK corrupted the frame stack.
- The array of boot-time symbols is fixed and independent of the features
that are compiled in. This is essential for cross-compilation and also
for sharing C code among different builds.
- Fixed externalization of bytecodes with literals that need MAKE-LOAD-FORM.
- When parsing a floating point number at least one digit should be
present. ECL parsed +.e0 as +0.0e0, instead of as a symbol.
- For OS X Lion we need a newer version of the garbage collector. Since the
maintainers' advise is that we use the unstable tree, we have made a copy
and use it _only_ for this port (src/gc-unstable).
* Visible changes:
- When printing error messages, the condition type is shown (M. Mondor)
- SI:TOP-LEVEL, when invoked without arguments, does not process the
command line.
- The command line used by EXT:PROCESS-COMMAND-ARGS is now by default
the one stored in *COMMAND-ARGS*, and this may be "cleared" by the
user.
- SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM now accepts an :ELEMENT-TYPE argument.
- When --enable-rpath is used in combination with --with-gmp-prefix, then the
path of the GMP library is hardcoded into ECL. If the remaining libraries
(GC, libffi) are in a similar location this will make ECL work without
further flags, and without modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- All arguments after the '--' command line option are stored in a global
variable, ext:*unprocessed-ecl-command-args*.
- In the rules passed to ext:process-command-args, :stop now implies that all
remaining arguments including the current one are collected and passed to
the rule code. An example of use of this option
;; Collect all arguments _after_ the command line option --
("--" 1 (setf ext:*unprocessed-ecl-command-args* (rest 1)) :stop)
;; Collect all arguments including the first unknown one
("*DEFAULTS*" 1 (setf ext:*unprocessed-ecl-command-args* 1) :stop)
- ECL will always build, by default, with support for Unicode strings.
- EXT:GETENV coerces its input argument to type BASE-STRING.
- The garbage collector would reset the counters on every call to
SI:GC-STATS. This made nested TIME calls not to work, as the statistics of
the inner call would spoil those of the outer one. This has been fixed.
- ECL implements CDR 6 (ext:*inspector-hook*) as described in
http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/6/index.html
- ECL implements CDR 5 (Sub-interval Numerical Types) as described in
http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/5/index.html
- ECL ships libffi together with its source tree, much like GMP and GC.
- On POSIX platforms ECL traps SIGCHLD and uses it to update the status of
external processes.
- DIRECTORY accepts the keyword argument :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS.
- Compiling files now generates C headers with the extension "eclh". This
is done to avoid accidentally generating header files with the same name
as those in the C library. Take for instance, float.lsp -> float.h.
- ECL no longer relies on "git" being installed to gather the git commit id
and setting (ext:lisp-implementation-vcs-id).
- When building shared and statically linked libraries, ECL creates an
extra function that performs two tasks: initializing ECL if it wasn't done
before, and initializing the library. This can be used to create standalone
libraries to be linked with other programs. The name of the function typically
begins with main_dll or main_lib but it is output by ECL on screen.
- Hash tables do no longer have implicit locking. All complex structures in
ECL (arrays, hash tables, objects) should be dealt with sufficient care on
the user side, just as in other programming languages, making use of
WITH-LOCK and similar facilities.
- In OPEN the default format is :UTF-8 for Unicode builds and :LATIN-1 for
others, and the stream element type is always CHARACTER by default.
- Function read_VV is renamed to ecl_init_module()
- Initialization of random number generator is done using only 16 bytes from
/dev/urandom (Phillip Marek).
- Each thread keeps a copy of the process sigmask (POSIX) and it is inherited
by children thread. The sigmask can be manipulated by the function
EXT:CATCH-SIGNAL which has the signature
(ext:catch-signal signal-code action &key process)
The ACTION is one of :IGNORE, :DEFAULT, :CATCH, determining what ECL does
when it receives the signal, or it can be :MASK/:UNMASK to determine whether
the process is blocking the signal or not. The optional argument :PROCESS
only applies to :MASK/:UNMASK and it can be the current process, some
process that has not been activated or any other value (indicating that
the function has a global effect, as sigprocmask).
- Allocate executable memory using libffi instead of using just the
Boehm-Weiser garbage collector.
- In bytecodes.h, deactivate the threaded interpreter when using the LLVM
compiler. The problem is that llvm-gcc disguises itself as GCC but it is
not capable of properly compiling the jump table.
- Implemented SEQUENCE-STREAMs, which are input/output streams defined on some
specialized array type. The functions to create them are
(ext:make-sequence-input-stream vector &key :start :end :external-format)
(ext:make-sequence-output-stream vector &key :external-format)
* If the array is a string, it is a character stream.
- When no external format is supplied, it defaults to the usual encoding
and the stream behaves like a string stream.
- When an external format is supplied, each character in the string
is interpreted as a single byte and used for that external format.
* If the array is specialized over integers and EXTERNAL-FORMAT is NIL
the stream is a binary stream.
* Otherwise, it is a binary string but READ/WRITE-CHAR may be used on it.
Reading and writing does not preserve the original word size of the array
but rather threads the array as a collection of bytes (octets), writing
sequentially over it. Thus, if you use encodings such as UCS2 and UCS4, make
sure that you choose the right endianness to match the shape of the array.
- DELETE-FILE works on empty directories.
- In DIRECTORY, :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS defaults to T.
- Added POSIX function (EXT:CHMOD filename mode)
- ECL's compiler is now less verbose and hides performance notes, as well as
invocations of the C compiler. This can be modfied by changing the type
specifier in c:*suppress-compiler-messages*.
- Hash tables can now be printed readably when *READ-EVAL* is true. This is
done using two new functions, EXT:HASH-TABLE-CONTENT and
EXT:HASH-TABLE-FILL.
- When a compiler macro fails, ECL simply ignores the errors and
continues. This is more to the spirit of the compiler macros, as explained
here http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/pro/2011-December/000675.html
- INLINE declarations now actually cause the function to be inlined. If
the function is also proclaimed as INLINE, ECL will store a copy of its
definition for later use _in other files_. Otherwise INLINE declarations
remain local to the file being processed.
- ECL now implements weak hash tables. They are built as ordinary hash tables
with an extra argument, :WEAKNESS, which may be :KEY, :VALUE,
:KEY-AND-VALUE, or NIL, for the default behavior. The status of the hash
table is returned by EXT:HASH-TABLE-WEAKNESS. Note that these associations
are no substitute for proper management of resources, as the time of
collection can not be guaranteed.
- In pathnames, ".." is translated to :UP, not :BACK.
- ECL introduces two special forms, EXT:CHECKED-VALUE and EXT:TRULY-THE, which
have the same syntax as THE, but in the first case lead to a type assertion
at low safety levels and in the second case lead to an unchecked
declaration. By default THE maps to EXT:CHECKED-VALUE (as in SBCL), but this
may be controlled globally using the declaration/proclamation
EXT:THE-IS-CHECKED.
- Unicode strings were not properly saved in C compiled code.
Upstream changes:
- API Changes
+ The signature of getprop was changed from (PMC,String,PMC) to
(PMC, PMC,String) for consistency
- Core
+ Parrot Calling Conventions (pcc) now reuses Continuation PMCs
internally, which reduces GC work by 25% and improves
the fib.pir benchmark by 6%
+ Winxed snapshot updated to 1.6.devel 44a04cfa7b
+ Improved the detection of Clang-ish compilers during configuration
+ Fixed a possible segfault bug when reading packfiles with no
constants or main_sub
+ By default, Parrot has now elevated these GCC warnings to errors
during compile time:
implicit-function-declaration, undef, missing-braces,
nested externs, old-style-definition, strict-prototypes,
+ The OS Dynamic PMC now has separate functions to unlink a file
and remove an empty directory (rmdir)
+ Fix building on Cygwin due to an improperly named DLL file
+ Various small bug fixes pointed out by static and dynamic analysis
tools
- Branches
+ Work on M0 continues now in the m0 branch, which contains both
implementations (currently C and Perl) and specification.
+ Good progress has been made on the threads branch which builds
on the green_threads branch. This gets Parrot much closer to
being able to utilize multiple CPU cores seemlessly. More details
at http://niner.name/Hybrid_Threads_for_the_Parrot_VM.pdf
- Documentation
+ New release manager documentation for parrot.github.com :
http://git.io/parrot-github-guide
- Community
+ Parrot was accepted to Google Summer of Code 2012!

GCC47 was marked NOT-FOR-DRAGONFLY, so support has been added.
* DragonFly-specific files added via patch mechanism
* Some existing patches modified to add DragonFly configuration items
* dl_iterate_phdr error handling support added (FreeBSD support was altered,
NetBSD and OpenBSD support is commented out)
* The java language is taken off as a default option
On the i386 platform, the compiler will build from a full bootstrap, but
one of the later stages fails on x86_64. It fails to find libstdc++.so.6
even though the previous stage library was built and -B, -L flags point
to it. The cause of the platform-specific build failure isn't clear --
The workaround is to disable the bootstrap on DragonFly so that the compiler
is built in one stage instead of three. This workaround could have been
limited to the x86_64-DragonFly platform only, but currently is applied to
i386-DragonFly too.
Solaris build. While here, stop stuffing pointers in ints on 64-bit
platforms (other than Alpha, which it already knew about) and therefore
bump PKGREVISION to 1.
In terms of the core YAP, most changes are small bug fixes. They include
- better support for 64 bits in win64,
- some fixes to the garbage collector
- OSX Lion compilation
- wide char support
- bug in copy_term when some variables have attributes
- fixes to lam interface
- C-interface and SWI support
- over-optimisation of =/2.
- arithmetic exceptions
- write_canonical (Ulrich)
- retracting may not follow lu semantics
- minor predicate import bug.
There has been a lot of progress in ProbLog and cplint.
