Summary: Do not create files in the source directory
Product: gcc
Version: 3.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: bootstrap
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: ludovic.brenta@insalien.org
CC: dhazeghi@yahoo.com,gcc-
bugs@gcc.gnu.org,pinskia@physics.uc.edu
GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
The build instructions clearly say that people _must_ build in a different
directory than the one containing the sources. For example, let the source
directory by ~/src/gcc and the object directory be ~/src/gcc-obj. The
bootstrapping sequence would be:
$ cd ~/src/gcc
$ cvs -z3 update
$ rm -rf ~/src/gcc-obj
$ mkdir ~/src/gcc-obj
$ cd ~/src/gcc-obj
$ ../gcc/configure
$ make bootstrap
$ cd gcc
$ make gnatlib_and_tools
$ make gnatlib-shared
$ cd ..
$ make install
The problem is that "make bootstrap" creates a few files in the source
directory. There have been instances where these files contained errors
which caused subsequent bootstraps to fail, even after another "cvs update"
(see PR 10740 for one example). It also means that the second step, "cvs
update", is not guaranteed to produce a clean source directory from which one
can make a reliable, reproducible build.
I suggest that the bootstrap process be changed so as not to write any file
in the source directory. Ideally, it should be possible to boostrap with the
source directory on a read-only filesystem.
For this, someone more knowledgeable than me should look at the bootstrap
process to find all such files. So far, I have identified the following files
on gcc-3_3-branch as of 2003-05-27:
gcc/fastjar/fastjar.info
gcc/fastjar/jar.1
gcc/fastjar/grepjar.1
gcc/gcc/cp/parse.c
gcc/gcc/cp/parse.h
gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.1
gcc/gcc/doc/fsf-funding.7
gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.1
gcc/gcc/doc/gcov.1
gcc/gcc/doc/gfdl.7
gcc/gcc/doc/gpl.7
gcc/gcc/f/g77.1
gcc/gcc/java/gcj.1
gcc/gcc/java/gcjh.1
gcc/gcc/java/gij.1
gcc/gcc/java/jcf-dump.1
gcc/gcc/java/jv-convert.1
gcc/gcc/java/jv-scan.1
gcc/gcc/java/parse.c
gcc/gcc/java/parse-scan.c
gcc/gcc/java/rmic.1
gcc/gcc/java/rmiregistry.1
gcc/gcc/objc/objc-parse.c
gcc/gcc/objc/objc-parse.y
gcc/gcc/c-parse.y
gcc/gcc/c-parse.c
gcc/gcc/gengtype-lex.c
gcc/gcc/gengtype-yacc.c
gcc/gcc/gengtype-yacc.h
PS. The host, target and build triplets are probably not relevant, but I added
them anyway.

------- Additional Comments From pinskia@physics.uc.edu 2003-05-27 19:31 -------
Some of these have been semi-fixed on the mainline with the following patch, meaning
that you have to change where parsedir/docobjdir is:
2003-01-10 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com>
* Makefile.in (parsedir): New variable.
(docobjdir): New variable.
(c-parse.o, c-parse.c, c-parse.y, gengtype-lex.o, gengtype-yacc.o,
gengtype-lex.c, gengtype-yacc.c): Use parsedir.
(info, cpp.info, gcc.info, gccint.info, gccinstall.info,
cppinternals.info, generated-manpages, gcov.1, cpp.1, gcc.1, gfdl.7,
gpl.7, fsf-funding.7, maintainer-clean, install-info, install-man):
Use docobjdir.
* objc/Make-lang.in (objc/objc-parse.c, objc/objc-parse.y,
objc.maintainer-clean): Use parsedir.
2003-01-30 Loren James Rittle <ljrittle@acm.org>
* Make-lang.in (po-generated): Find the targets in $(parsedir).
Propagate change to all other rules as required.
(java/parse-scan.o): Add explicit dependency on
$(parsedir)/java/parse-scan.c .
Here is the updated ones that need to be fixed still:
gcc/fastjar/fastjar.info
gcc/fastjar/jar.1
gcc/fastjar/grepjar.1
gcc/gcc/f/g77.1
gcc/gcc/java/gcj.1
gcc/gcc/java/gcjh.1
gcc/gcc/java/gij.1
gcc/gcc/java/jcf-dump.1
gcc/gcc/java/jv-convert.1
gcc/gcc/java/jv-scan.1
gcc/gcc/java/parse.c
gcc/gcc/java/parse-scan.c
gcc/gcc/java/rmic.1
gcc/gcc/java/rmiregistry.1
all the ones in gcc/gcc/{f,java} should be easy to fix and even the ones in fastjar are easy
too.
(note since gcc/gcc/cp/parse.{c,h} is no longer generated it does need fixing)

java/parse.c and java/parse-scan.c belong in ${parsedir}.
The .1 and .info files from GCC belong in ${docobjdir}, I believe.
Fastjar needs its own separate fix to do the same thing.
I'm not sure of the current status.

I believe this request is finally fulfilled. The GCC 3.4 branch can now be
built from a read-only directory.
Some of the relevant patches checked in were:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2003-10/msg00864.html
There is a new configuration option --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir which
restores the old behavior for distributions of releases. This feature, though
working, needs a little Makefile tweaking for proper use by the endusers without
bison, flex, and makeinfo. For that, I'll file a new PR.
Two files are still being produced by fastjar, of which GCC is a downstream
user. I'll submit a patch for that to the upstream maintainer as well as
propose a local patch for GCC.
I'm closing this PR.
