Subject: ./configure CFLAGS=-ggdb3 fails 'guile-snarf'
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:36:39 +0000

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

It popped out as a
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608190
where one of packages failed to build with CFLAGS=-ggdb3 was guile-2.0.13

guile git master is also affected:

    $ ./configure CFLAGS=-ggdb3
    $ make
    make[1]: Entering directory '/home/slyfox/dev/git/guile/libguile'
      CC       libguile_2.2_la-alist.lo
    In file included from alist.c:398:0:
    ../libguile/alist.x: In function 'scm_init_alist':
    ../libguile/alist.x:2:2537: error: conflicting types for 'scm_i_foreign_call'

The problem here is in gcc -ggdb3 which leaves too much
of unrelated input. guile-snarf does not understand how to drop it:

guile/libguile $ guile-snarf alist.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi-3.2.1/include -I/home/slyfox/dev/git/guile -ggdb2 | wc -c

guile/libguile $ guile-snarf alist.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi-3.2.1/include -I/home/slyfox/dev/git/guile -ggdb3 | wc -c
230085

Fails on both gcc-5.4.0 / gcc-6.3.0

Subject: [PATCH] guile-snarf: skip -g* arguments to avoid build failure
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:58:40 +0000

Steps to reproduce:
    $ ./configure CFLAGS=-ggdb3
    $ make
    make[1]: Entering directory '/home/slyfox/dev/git/guile/libguile'
      CC       libguile_2.2_la-alist.lo
    In file included from alist.c:398:0:
    ../libguile/alist.x: In function 'scm_init_alist':
    ../libguile/alist.x:2:2537: error: conflicting types for 'scm_i_foreign_call'

The problem here is in gcc -ggdb3 which leaves too much
of unrelated input. guile-snarf does not understand how to drop it:

The fix is to ignore -g* flags. They should only affect debugging output.

* libguile/guile-snarf.in: skip -g* arguments to avoid build failure

Applied.  Thanks :)

Subject: guile-snarf now fails when passed arguments contains whitespace
Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 17:00:54 +0200

Hello,

Commit f775ab3654357fcaad294b95efb0b1c16de1eda8 (“guile-snarf: skip -g*
arguments to avoid build failure”) broke guile-snarf when passed
arguments with whitespace, as in:

  guile-snarf -o auth.x auth.c -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"Guile-SSH\ 0.10.2\" …

The breakage comes from the fact that arguments are accumulated in a
string, in the ‘cpp_args’ variable, so the shell loses information about
word separation.

Besides, filtering out ‘-g’ arguments seems dubious.

WDYT?

Ludo’.
