[GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[charfi asma]

Hello,

I try to install "sample_fe" following the steps described in Andi Blog : http://blog.lxgcc.net/?p=181

I put the sample_fe in the gcc directory (whith the other fe directory : java, cp, ...)
I configure with ./configure --enable-languages=sample_fe 
when I call make, I get this errors:

make
...build/gengtype.o build/gengtype-lex.o build/gengtype-yacc.o \
build/errors.o ../build-i686-pc-linux-gnu/libiberty/libiberty.a
build/gengtype
/home/charfi/Desktop/gcc-4.1.0/gcc/sample_fe/sfe1.c:24: stray GTY marker
make[2]: *** [s-gtype] Erreur 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/charfi/Desktop/gcc-obj/gcc'
make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Erreur 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/charfi/Desktop/gcc-obj'
make: *** [all] Erreur 2

I think it is reltaed with GTY and gengtype but I do not realy understand how to correct it.

thank you for your help

Thanks for trying this :-) And thanks for catching this silly mistake!

Generally, you should follow the install instructions on
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ and NOT call configure from the source
directory, but from a separated build directory.

Yes, I think that as well. You could possibly fix this by changing line 24
of sfe1.c

from

struct GTY(()) lang_identifier

to

struct lang_identifier GTY(())

But, I'm not totally sure if this version of sample_fe will work anyway
with your version, because I just tested it with 4.4.x and you seem to
compile a 4.1.0 version. If you for some reason require to use 4.1.0, then
please continue trying and let me know if you face further problems.
Otherwise, I would recommend using a 4.4.x. I'll upload a 4.5.0-based
version this weekend, so that you could also use gcc-4.5.0 for your
experiments.

I'll update the web page with a modified version ...

Best regards,
Andi

Hello Andi,

thank you for your answer. 

I modified the sfe1.c as you suggested. previous error disappears
but I get 2 other errors generated while calling make bootstrap

I am calling ./configure after creating an other directory (not related in the source directory) named gcc-obj.
this time, I think the error comes from the driver (gsfe); xhnich line should I modify ;)
thank you very much

Hey,

okay, that's not good. Usually, when working on a front-end, I disable the
 bootstrapping (using --disable-bootstrap) option to accelerate the build
to get the new front-end as fast as possible. Even though the Make-lang.in
of sample_fe isn't complete, it should be able to handle the bootstrap
case

But this error doesn't currenlty look like a problem to the bootstrapping.
Which version of GCC are you using for your tests? Still 4.1.0? If you're
still using 4.1.0, then the sample_fe might not work/build properly
because it was "developped" and tested for 4.4.0. If you face these
problems although you switched to 4.4.0, I need to re-check the
bootstrapping case.

If you however insist on using 4.1.0, I could prepare sample_fe for this
version?

The linker is missing the 'main' function which isn't - as of 4.4.0 - not
provided by the driver code, but by the GCC infrastructure (IIRC, gcc.c).
So, I assume that just a different object file is missing for the final
linking.

Ok I will try to make without bootstrap (I used make bootstrap cause I red in http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html in building a native compiler section that it is recommended to enable bootstrap because the compiler will be tested more completely and could also have a better performance.


If you however insist on using 4.1.0, I could prepare sample_fe for this
version?

I used this version because I have a mandriva 2006. I tried to install gcc4.4.2 but when configuring it, it generates errors concerning GMP and MPFR (require 4.1+ of GMP and 2.3.2+ of MPFR)
I installed the MPFR2.4.2 without pb and a 4.1.3.2 of GMP (an rpm: libgmp and gmp-devel) but gcc4.4.2 requires GMP4.2
I tried to install GMP4.2.2 (rpm) I  get this errors:
dependences required:
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.4)
rtld( GNU_HASH)

When I install GMP 4.1.3.2 I did not get a pb. (that's why I tried to install an old version of gcc that did not require GMP 4.2)

I tried to configure with --with-gmp but I did not find where the gmp is installed
whereis gmp gives /usr/include/gmp.h 
which gmp returns no gmp in (/usr/bin: /sbin: /usr/sbin: /usr/local/bin......)

what do you suggest? I am not an expert in handling linux distribution and install directories :(

thank you very much for your help

Hey

You may want to simply move the latest source version and install
libmpc (http://www.multiprecision.org/index.php?prog=mpc) aswell since
the interfaces changed alot since then i based my old front-end code
on a gcc 4.0 and i just ended up starting from scratch when working
with trunk.

But if you want to keep working with that version you can try:

configure --enable-languages=c,c++,....
--with-gmp-include=/usr/local/include --with-gmp-lib=/usr/local/lib
... do the same with --with-mpfr-{include,lib} if you have problems.

When you manually make install by default things generally go to
/usr/local/include for the headers then lib for the actual library you
link against unless you specify a prefix.

If you want some reference on front-end code you can look a little at
mine though mine focuses on working with trunk
http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gcc-dev/tree/gcc/python?h=python

Where pyspec.c is the compiler driver, then py-lang.c is the compiler
proper then other files go along with it. Hope this helps in at least
some way :) Its confusing but were working to make it simpler! Gcc
rocks ;)

Hello,


Thank you for your answer Philip.

I moved to mandriva 2009 and I try to install now gcc4.4.4 with the sample_fe frontend
I installed the GMP 4.3.2, MPFR 2.4.2 and MPC 0.8.2 all in /usr/local
when I call configre with ( --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local
--enable-languages=sample_fe ) I get this error although sample_fe/config-lang.in contains: language="sample_fe" !!!
and the last line of the generated error mention sample_fe in the list of supported langauges !!!

First of all, I have no idea what's wrong, because I've never seen this 
error before. Well, all these mentioned lines are empty lines in the 
config-lang.in and it seems that the configure script or better your 
shell tries to execute these empty lines when the config-lang.in file 
gets included into the configure script.

Just like I said, I tested the sample_fe front-end with my (x)ubuntu 
system in bootstrap mode, and I didn't face any problems.

For me it seems - without any proof - that your POSIX shell (/bin/sh) is 
  somehow broken. Which version of /bin/sh are you using? Because I 
don't have a Mandriva 2009 system by hand, I can't try to reproduce, but 
just for the case that you want to dig further into the problem, you 
could have a look into the configure script at lines 5066-5277.

But, maybe as a first start, you could create two shell scripts with the 
following contents. They should try to reproduce your phenomenon:

===== first.sh =====
#!/bin/sh

echo "START"
value=
. ./second.sh
echo "AFTER ${value}"
===== END first.sh


===== second.sh =====
echo "SECOND"

value=GCC

echo "END SECOND"
===== END second.sh =====

After creating these two files, keep the file permissions of second.sh 
at 644 and change the file permissions for first.sh to 755 and finally 
execute

# ./first.sh
START
SECOND
END SECOND
AFTER GCC

Maybe someone else on this list has an idea what could be wrong or has 
already seen this error before ...

[charfi asma]

Hello,

Thank you Andi for your suggestions, but I do not think
that my shell is broken I am using the GNU bash, version
3.2.19(2)-release (i586-mandriva-linux-gnu)

[charfi@is010178 ~]$ sh -version
GNU bash, version 3.2.19(2)-release (i586-mandriva-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I created the 2 scripts as you suggest, and executed first.sh, I get this:

[charfi@is010178 ~]$ ./first.sh
START
SECOND
END SECOND
AFTER GCC

I really need to add a front end to GCC.

Have you any idea ?

thank you very much

Okay, this approach was just too simple ...

> I really need to add a front end to GCC.

And I would really be glad to help and assist you, but it currently 
seems to me that the problem is specific to your machine only and that 
it would be generally hard to find it.

However, maybe some of the suggestions/suspicions help:

* you mentioned that the config-lang.in file from the C++ front-end 
works without any problems even though both files, from the C++ 
front-end and the sample_fe front-end "look" equal. But maybe, something 
went wrong during the download or extraction of the archive (just for 
the case, here's a checksum of the file using the cksum utility

sample_fe config-lang.in
1684117529 427 config-lang.in

* alternatively (a bit more time-consuming), you could try to copy the 
config-lang.in from the C++ front-end to the sample_fe directory and 
successively change this file back to the contents of the sample_fe 
config-lang.in while checking which change really makes the problems

* if that all doesn't help, you could try to follow the suggestion of 
Philip to use his code for the python front-end with gcc-4.5.0

Andi

I think really if you really want to build a front-end is start
working with llive GCC sources since we will be able to help you more
easily than trying to debug whats going on with building it in older
versions of GCC.

I really think you should just start from scratch here and:

mkdir gcc-dev && cd gcc-dev
git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
cd gcc
mkdir build
../configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
make
sudo make install

If this all works fine were on our way.

Then you need to understand a little bit about GCC, the driver and
compiler proper. We build a compiler driver which decides which
compiler to invoke over an input.

So if you go into the gcc folder and look for a language like fortran
this is all its front-end specific code, and there is gfortranspec.c
which is this compiler driver then there is bla-lang.c is the compiler
proper is the naming convention.

The config-lang.in just denotes some config options like your lang
name your compiler executable and your runtime library name etc.

Then your Make-lang.in is your makefile for this setup. I am not going
to lie the documentation for building up your front-end is nearly
non-existant but we are working on this too, but there is alot to
document. And it requires good understanding on C and Compiler
construction overall. I would say take look at my front-end and the
gccgo front-end they are the most readable front-ends since they lack
the maturity of once's like C and Fortran or Ada which are fairly
difficult to read.

Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : [GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[charfi asma]

Hello,

Thank you Andi and Philip for all your suggestions.

In fact, The problem comes from the extraction of the sample_fe package ;)
I redownload the skeleton of sample_fe from the blog and I did not get any errors when calling configure, make bootstrap and make install ;)

Now the fe is well installed (I hope) and I tried to compile the example given in the blog : I created file1.sfe and I called the gcc (with the -S option, because the front end is supposed to produce the assembly code from a simple c++ prgram)

I get file named file1.o which is supposed to be the assembly file from file1.sfe
[root@is010178 sample_fe_files]# /usr/local/bin/gcc -S file1.sfe 
Temps d'exécution (secondes)
TOTAL                 :   0.00             0.00             0.01                 61 kB

but when I open the sfe.s generated from gcc I get only those 3 lines:

    .file    "file1.sfe"
    .ident    "GCC: (GNU) 4.4.4"
    .section    .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

did I use the front end it in the wrong way ?

thank you for your help

Asma

Yes, you're using the correct front-end. I wrote into the blog, that this
static code was a long-term goal. The primary goal of the sample_fe was to
really just provide a skeleton without any contents.

We'll, basically, I already have the code but it is not in the package in
the blog. I could send you the code later this evening, but anyway, from
now on you need to look at multiple front-ends to check how they produce
code. The sample_fe should just provide you with the basic infrastructure.

But, as Philip already said, we're working on a more complete front-end
for demonstration purpose and for documentation purpose of the front-end
infrastructure.

Hey all

Yeah but yeah if your working on a front-end don't be afraid to ask us
questions any time its nice to have more people interested in
developing GCC front-ends. In fact it would be great to simply share
the experiences.

GCC the more and more I've worked with it, the interfaces and
structures you get to work with to build a front-end are actually
really powerful and you get access to all the lovely optimizations gcc
will do. Its just a pity there was no documentation prior to this but
that's what were working on :).

But yeah as I said Front-ends to look at now that you have a
'skeleton' would be mine:

http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gcc-dev/tree/?h=python

GccGO:

http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gcc-dev/log/?h=gccgo

Fortran's front-end is ok in some cases but really i only found it
helpful in getting the bare bones together. But once you get a parser
down to some kind of AST for your language your going to have to spend
a lot of time looking how GENERIC works its really powerful but quite
confusing. I think what is confusing when reading through other
front-end code its sometimes hard to tell whether the code is calling
tree API code or if it is front-end specific code, since the tree api
is not prefixed with anything.

Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : [GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[charfi asma]

Hello,

I run the sfe_example and it works perfectly.
when I call gsfe  -s file1.sfe, I get the file1.s which is nearly the same 
assembly generated when compiling the same c code with gcc.

But now, I want to understand  How it works ;)

I look at the code of sfe_example.c and sfe1.c.
I understand that sfe1 define a tree  for each variable /type /c function in the 

c code, for example for the global_var, we have the function : 
create_decl_global_var() of type tree, etc

in the sfe1.c, those functions are called in the getdecls(void) but this 
function tree getdecls(void) is never called 

so my questions are: 

1. who calls all  sfe1.c functions  ( sfe_parse_file, getdecls, ...) ?

2. when we call the sfe1.c, is the result equal to the generic form of the c 
code ? In which file this form is stocked ? 

although I think that the body of each funcion of sfe1_example.c is writen in 
generic but I am not sure (generic is a list of tree code just like gimple)
when I compile the same c code using gcc and dump the gimple form, I expected 
that the generic form is close to the gimple one, am I write ?


3. I do not really understand this code in the sfe1.h

struct lang_identifier GTY(())
{
  struct tree_identifier common;
};

union lang_tree_node GTY((desc ("TREE_CODE (&%h.generic) == IDENTIFIER_NODE")))
{ 
   union tree_node GTY ((tag ("0"), desc ("tree_node_structure (&%h)"))) 
generic;
   struct lang_identifier GTY ((tag ("1"))) identifier;
};

thank you very much 

Asma

Hey,

please find attached a version of the front-end with the example from the blog. 
It's been some time that I tested this code, so hopefully it is still working. 
If not, you would however get an impression on howto create GENERIC IR.

Most front-ends will Generate GENERIC which is the tree type you will
see alot of. My frontend requires a more highlevel IR which i bring
down to GENERIC much like GCCGO.

look at do_compile at gcc/toplev.c line 2319 i think, its responsible
for calling all the necessary langhooks.

Are you asking is the IR generated the same as the C-front-end? Answer
anything that uses the GENERIC IR is the same IR the C front-end uses.

You may want to clone this git repo:

$ git clone git://crules.org:gcc-dev.git # i think the git daemon
should be running else let me know
$ git checkout -t -b documentation origin/documentation

And look at gcc/gcalc a front-end Andi put together its a basic
front-end showing how you can use GCC as a backend to a calculator its
nearly complete and its very well written it should show you everthing
you need to know for a stock front-end.

These GTY markers are for the gentype which generates code for the
garbage collector within gcc so it understands structures and so you
can use them within some vectors in GCC or other data structures.

These functions are simply boiler plate functions the compiler driver
requires to be able to call the compiler proper i think and are the
same in most front-ends most people should have no need to play with
them.

Hope this helps!

Ah sorry took me so long to reply i actually gave the wrong git link
lol i just tried:

Hello,

I tried now with the right git link and this is what I get:

[root@is010178 sample_fe_files]# git clone git://crules.org/git/gcc-dev.git

Initialized empty Git repository in 
/export/home/charfi/Bureau/sample_fe_files/gcc-dev/.git/

but I can not find the gcc/gcalc front end. I get this error when I checkout :

[root@is010178 sample_fe_files]# git checkout -t -b documentation 
origin/documentation
fatal: Not a git repository

any Idea ?

thanks,

Ah sorry took me so long to reply i actually gave the wrong git link
lol i just tried:

git clone git://crules.org/git/gcc-dev.git

Should work now i just checked, let me know how you get on :) There is
a git export thing i need to make sure is there so as it exports them

Hey

Sorry for all the problems so far, i probably spelt the branch name
wrong i always do that when i want to do documentation.

Try this command copy and paste it just to be safe since it should work:

$ git checkout --track -b gcalc origin/documentation

That should work, i plan on adding to andi's code over the next few
days a basic runtime library to have a print function. And work on
more documentation since i have many errors and stale ideas in there.

Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : [GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[charfi asma]

your first link works as well, we have just to checkout from the gcc-dev 
directory.

so both links are fine

# git checkout -t -b documentation origin/documentation
# git checkout --track -b gcalc origin/documentation

Hope this helps you along the way, to building a front-end it looks
like a lot of pain in the beginning to setup bits and bobs, but gcc is
brilliant for build a new language on and the GENERIC tree api is
great although its quite daunting to get used to at the start.

Follow gcalc and maybe re-create it in your own way or build a new
basic language, then just go from there. Its not as painful as you may
think, once you get started you will be flying.

Let us know how you get on and remember we have the irc on
irc.oftc.net #gcc feel free to ask questions there too in a more
informal manor.

This looks like langhook's function significant errors. Don't expect
langhooks as is to be stable, since i started my front-end I've
noticed 1 or 2 changes in the last 3 months or so. Its highly doubtful
you could get the gcalc front-end andi build to work on GCC 4.4.4,
without looking into langhooks.{h,def} to get the langhook function
signatures right.

As we have said earlier in this thread, try to work with current gcc
sources (svn/git) its much simpler for us to help you, or if your
heart is set on using a tarball use a snapshot gcc-core tarball or
something.

Yes, this might occur if you use older versions (for example built for 
4.4) in 4.5. builds. The handling of GTY(()) slightly changed with 4.5 
. But, you already corrected it accordingly.

You'll need to look at the file config.log in directory 
/export/home/charfi/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc. It will tell you 
what's missing. Maybe you're just missing a depending library (mpc, 
mpfr, gmp).

Cheers,
Andi

Re : [GCC front end] trying to install sample_fe but fail in make

[charfi asma]

Hi, 

I looked at the config.log in libgcc and As Andi predict, it is a problem of 
libmpc (please find bellow a snipset of config.log input )

but mpc is well installed and when I enable the sample_fe front end, the 
configure, make and make install work perfectly with gcc 4.4.4
the problem comes from dev_gcc that I download from git, although I am using the 
last version of mpc: 0.82.
should I use other version ??
I verified that the file libmpc.so.2 exists in the /usr/local/lib but tthe 
config.log said "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

any idea ??

Yes, this might occur if you use older versions (for example built for 4.4) in 
4.5. builds. The handling of GTY(()) slightly changed with 4.5 . But, you 
already corrected it accordingly.

You'll need to look at the file config.log in directory 
/export/home/charfi/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc. It will tell you what's 
missing. Maybe you're just missing a depending library (mpc, mpfr, gmp).

Cheers,
Andi

Hey

I am not quite sure what your trying to achieve at the moment if you
copy the python front-end folder into a base gcc the resulting
compiler won't work since you also need libgpython at the toplevel the
runtime library which the generated code needs linked against. So i
suggest follow these instructions:

$ git clone git://crules.org/git/gcc-dev.git
$ git branch test
$ git checkout test
$ git merge python
$ git merge documentation

Then try and compile... make sure you can compile gcc normaly from a
tarball or something so we can be sure there isn't some error on our
side with libmpc checks.

You should now have gcalc and gccpy, though i reckon gcalc may fail
compilation since the langhooks have have changed slightly, but i'll
check and fix it soon, i took a few days off there since friday. Back
hacking now though :)

Hope this helps, sorry for the late reply.

Hi Philip,

I red your 10 doc pages 
http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gcc-dev/tree/gcc/doc/languages.texi?h=documentation
 it was helpful for me to understand  the role of lexer.l and parser.y in the 
python fe.
what I try to do is to compile your fe. I thought that I can add the python fe 
to gcc, write file.py and compile this file using gpy1.
Normally, we can write code in python and gcc will compile and execute this code 
if the python fe is added to gcc directory, configured and installed.

I tried to follow your instructions, but it fails in git merge python
here is the error:

[charfi@is010178 gcc-dev]$ git merge python
fatal: 'python' does not point to a commit

[charfi@is010178 gcc-dev]$ git merge documentation
fatal: 'documentation' does not point to a commit

any idea ?

hope that you did not spell the branch name
wrong as usual when dealing with documentation ;)

thanks 

Asma

Check for CR (0x0d, \015) characters in your shell script...
