stdc-predef.h failed during gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 compile

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, I've been trying to build the c and c++ cross-compiler for triplet aarch64-linux-gnu (--target=aarch64-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c,c++) on snapshot for 6.1-2016.07, and cannot get past this: cc1: error: no include path in which to search for stdc-predef.h From what I can tell this may already be a known bug inherited from back in the days of Linaro 4.8. I tried various ways around this, such as trying to create an empty stdc-predef.h in various locations, but always ended up either not fixing the issue or breaking something else even sooner. Is there a simple way around this on the configure command line? If not, is there some recommended edit for this? Thanks!

Impact of binutils .align assembler directive parsing bug

by Dan Handley

Hi I have a question about the impact of a binutils bug to do with parsing the .align assembler directive, which may appear soon in a Linaro GCC release. The bug was first discovered by Jérôme Forissier when building ARM Trusted Firmware with a non-Linaro toolchain: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2016-June/005768.html As Jim Wilson helpfully noted later in that thread: > This patch isn't present in the binutils-2.25 that tcwg is using. The patch is present in binutils-2.26. The bug is now fixed in binutils mainline: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=7ea12e5… But this was too late to be in the binutils-2_27 tag (3rd August) I'm concerned that this bug may appear in the upcoming Linaro GCC 6 stable release, which may have a significant lifetime. Can anyone comment on the binutils version to be used in the Linaro GCC 6 release? If a binutils version containing the bug is used, is it possible for this to be patched with the fix? I need to know whether we need to provide an interim solution in ARM Trusted Firmware. Regards Dan.

A stable version of gcc-linaro-xxx-arm-linux-gnueabi ...

by darklight wu

Hello linaro experts! I'm using the stable version(gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11) recommended on https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain. I downloaded the binary fromhttps://releases.linaro.org/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/arm-lin…. But I found there is no libstdc++.so.6. Is that library missing in that version? What I need is just a tested stable version for an industry iot project and the stability is the most important thing. And due to app back-compatibility, I can not use hardware-float feature. So any recommendation for a tested stable version of _gcc-linaro-xxx-arm-linux-gnueabi_ toolchain? Thanks! dlw

vreinterpretq_*_p128 for converting from polynomials?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble finding vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (and friends) to help convert a polynomial. I can't find it in arm_neon.h or arm_acle.h: $ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h $ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h $ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h $ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h vmull_p64 (poly64_t a, poly64_t b) vmull_high_p64 (poly64x2_t a, poly64x2_t b) $ An RPI-3 with ARMv8/Aarch32 and GCC 4.9.2 has it in arm_neon.h: $ cat /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.2/include/arm_neon.h | grep -A 4 vreinterpretq_u64_p128 vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (poly128_t __a) { return (uint64x2_t)__builtin_neon_vreinterpretv2diti ((__builtin_neon_ti) __a); } Is there another file that should be included for it? Or is there something else I should be doing when I want to convert from a polynomial to a type like uint64x2_t? Thanks in advance. Jeff

Compile error when building an Aarch32 program on Aarch64?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I have a HiKey running Linaro. I'm trying to build out a test case which tests Aarch32 on Aarch64. When I attempt to build an Aarch32 binary I experience the compile error below. The GCC folks helped me with the Aarch32 CFLAGS, so I believe they are correct. $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ Trying an -m32: $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -m32 test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-m32’ And without the -mtune: $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ I'm obviously suffering a disconnect. I may have more problems after the build when attempting to run the program, but I'll cross that bridge when I encounter it. How does one build an Aarch32 program on Aarch64? Thanks in advance.

== Progress == TCWG-680 Some analysis on what non-compiler support would be required for an llvm based EBC (UEFI) toolchain. TCWG-612 ARM TLS support in LLD: Initial support and tests for standard model upstreamed. There is still some work to be done for corner cases where LLD's relaxations will cause assertion failures. Static linking also needs some work as the TLS module index needs to be written into the GOT without a dynamic relocation. I have a prototype fix that needs cleaning up and tests written. Did some experiments with static linking and TLS to work out what I'll need to look at next. Discovered GNU ifunc support when static linking is not working. Did some thinking about what would be needed to support C++ exceptions in LLD for ARM. This is probably the next major chunk of work as supporting exceptions is needed when static linking against the C library startup code. == Plans == Plans for next 4 weeks: On Sabbatical back on the 22nd August. Will probably have limited access to email if there is anything urgent. Peter

What -mfpu option is used with neon, vfpv3 and vfpd32 flag?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I'm looking at the features of a BeagleBone Black. Its /proc/cpuinfo is below. I think vfpd32 cpu flag means I have 32 D-registers. The cpu flags neon and vfpv3 flags means I want something more than -mfpu=neon-fp16, but I'm not sure what that is. My question is, what GCC ARM option is used when we encounter the neon, vfpv3 and vfpd32 flags? Thanks in advance. ********** $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l) BogoMIPS : 996.14 Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls vfpd32 CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x3 CPU part : 0xc08 CPU revision : 2 Hardware : Generic AM33XX (Flattened Device Tree) Revision : 0000 Serial : 0000000000000000
