Subject: Support in the GCC(/C++) test suites for '-fno-exceptions'
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 21:13:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873534qu9e.fsf@euler.schwinge.homeip.net> (raw)
Hi!
This issue comes up in context of me working on C++ support for GCN and
nvptx target. Those targets shall default to '-fno-exceptions' -- or,
"in other words", '-fexceptions' is not supported. (Details omitted
here.)
It did seem clear to me that with such a configuration it'll be hard to
get clean test results. Then I found code in
'gcc/testsuite/lib/gcc-dg.exp:gcc-dg-prune':
# If exceptions are disabled, mark tests expecting exceptions to be enabled
# as unsupported.
if { ![check_effective_target_exceptions_enabled] } {
if [regexp "(^|\n)\[^\n\]*: error: exception handling disabled" $text] {
return "::unsupported::exception handling disabled"
}
..., which, in a way, sounds as if the test suite generally is meant to
produce useful results for '-fno-exceptions', nice surprise!
Running x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (not yet GCN, nvptx) 'make check' with:
RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=unix/-fno-exceptions\{,-m32\}'
..., I find that indeed this does work for a lot of test cases, where we
then get (random example):
PASS: g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C (test for errors, line 23)
-PASS: g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C (test for excess errors)
+UNSUPPORTED: g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C: exception handling disabled
..., due to:
[...]/g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C: In function 'task my_coro()':
+[...]/g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C:18:10: error: exception handling disabled, use '-fexceptions' to enable
[...]/g++.dg/coroutines/pr99710.C:23:7: error: await expressions are not permitted in handlers
compiler exited with status 1
But, we're nowhere near clean test results: PASS -> FAIL as well as
XFAIL -> XPASS regressions, due to 'error: exception handling disabled'
precluding other diagnostics seems to be one major issue.
Is there interest in me producing the obvious (?) changes to those test
cases, such that compiler g++ as well as target library libstdc++ test
results are reasonably clean? (If you think that's all "wasted effort",
then I suppose I'll just locally ignore any FAILs/XPASSes/UNRESOLVEDs
that appear in combination with
'UNSUPPORTED: [...]: exception handling disabled'.)
For a start, the libstdc++ test suite needs
'UNSUPPORTED: [...]: exception handling disabled' enabled/ported. (I'll
do that.) Otherwise, a number of test cases need DejaGnu directives
conditionalized on 'target exceptions_enabled'. (Or,
'error: exception handling disabled' made a "really late" diagnostic, so
that it doesn't preclude other diagnostics? I'll have a look. Well,
maybe something like: in fact do not default to '-fno-exceptions', but
instead emit 'error: exception handling disabled' only if in a "really
late" pass we run into exceptions-related constructs that we cannot
support. That'd also avoid PASS -> UNSUPPORTED "regressions" when
exception handling in fact gets optimized away, for example. I like that
idea, conceptually -- but is it feasible to implement..?)
Grüße
Thomas
