             Bug #: 51699
           Summary: Clang refuses to compile ext/rope citing scope
                    resolution issues
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: fedorabugmail@yahoo.com


When using clang to compile an existing program, clang refuses to compile the
ext/rope header files. One of the errors given is below.

ropeimpl.h:433:2: error: use of undeclared identifier '_Data_allocate'
_Data_allocate(_S_rounded_up_size(__old_len + __len));

g++ will compile this okay but the clang authors claim this code is invalid,
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6454. Below are the 7 changes to the two
files that allowed a successful compile. Line numbers may not be exact.

In ropeimpl.h

383c381
<         this->_L_deallocate(__l, 1);
---
>         _L_deallocate(__l, 1);
392c390
<         this->_C_deallocate(__c, 1);
---
>         _C_deallocate(__c, 1);
400c398
<         this->_F_deallocate(__f, 1);
---
>         _F_deallocate(__f, 1);
409c407
<         this->_S_deallocate(__ss, 1);
---
>         _S_deallocate(__ss, 1);
433c431
<     _Rope_base<_CharT, _Alloc>::_Data_allocate(_S_rounded_up_size(__old_len +
__len));
---
>     _Data_allocate(_S_rounded_up_size(__old_len + __len));
514c512
<           _Rope_base<_CharT, _Alloc>::_C_deallocate(__result,1);
---

817c815
<           _Rope_base<_CharT,
_Alloc>::_Data_allocate(_S_rounded_up_size(__result_len));
---
>           _Data_allocate(_S_rounded_up_size(__result_len));


In rope

732c730
<         this->_S_free_string(_M_data,
this->_M_size,this->_M_get_allocator());
---
>         __STL_FREE_STRING(_M_data, this->_M_size, this->_M_get_allocator());

Unfortunately rope is largely unmaintained. Assuming these issues are easy to
handle somebody with access to clang should do the work.

Note: before touching the library at all, the C++ issue should be analyzed in
detail, make sure we have a Bugzilla open for it, etc, it doesn't really make
sense blindly "fixing" the library for the benefit of another compiler without
being able to double check what is going on with GCC. Is there a Bugzilla open
for the C++ front-end issue? Otherwise, can you please open one?

the rope code has already been fixed in trunk by Jason when he fixed the G++
lookup bug

I think there is a front-end bug about this, I'll try to find it.
I've encountered it myself when compiling code with Clang and needed to fix
code that G++ accepts in order to find names in dependent base classes

Oh very well, thanks Jon, indeed now I remember that work.

I'm tempted to backport the library fixes, as I've been frustrated by
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702256 and would like to see a
working combination of clang and libstdc++ in F17

If you have the time, seems indeed a good idea.
