RE: [ECOS] MPC555 platforms cause gcc segmentation fault

["Wendell Liu" <wliu@gennum.com>]

Hello Steven and other eCos experts,

Did you fix the "segmentation fault" problem yet? If so, could you please
tell me how to do it?

I basically took the latest cygWin and latest eCos from CVS, and use the
latest ecosconfig (2006-07-10) to do:

ecosconfig new sh4_202_md default
ecosconfig tree
make

I got the exactly the same problem as you submitted on Aug. 16, 2006.

Anyone please help us to figure this out? 

Thank you very much,
Wendell

Subject: [ECOS] MPC555 platforms cause gcc segmentation fault

Hi All

I've been trying to bring a PowerPC MPC555 platform port I've been working
on up-to-date from ecos2.0.

I started by downloading a recent trunk snapshot and building (unmodified
from the cvs snapshot) cme555 and ec555 platforms using the default package
template.

With either platform, part way through the build it fails with a compiler
crash.

It gives the following output:

powerpc-eabi-gcc -c
-I/ecos-d/cygwin/.../ecos/cme555ECOS_install/include
-I/opt/ecos/.../packages/language/c/libc/stdio/current

make[1]: *** [src/input/vfscanf.o.d] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

I'm using recent cygwin build as a host and the following tool versions:

$ powerpc-eabi-gcc --version
powerpc-eabi-gcc (GCC) 3.2.1 (eCosCentric)

$ make --version
GNU Make 3.80

I've tried substituting 'vfscanf.cxx' with the one from ecos2.0 but it fails
in the same way at the same point in the code:

input_failure:
    return nassigned ? nassigned : -1;
match_failure:
    return nassigned;
} // vfscanf() <---- fails here.

(I was surprised to see 'goto' statements as I thought these were
depeciated/frowned upon in C)

The same code compiles under ecos2.0 alright using the same compiler. I
presume that the complier should not cause a segmentation fault at any time,
but something has changed somewhere in the source which triggers this.

Should I be using a more recent version of the gnutools?

Thanks for any help.

Steven.
