Linaro toolchain: libstdc++.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script

by Gunnar Arndt

My dear friends, I'm trying to build C++ code for Linux running on am ARM Cortex A8 (TI AM335x). For a first try, I'm using the simplest program I can think of: /* main.cpp */ int main() { return 0; } Under Linux with the 'normal' GCC, that works fine, but under Windows 7 with the Linaro toolchain, it fails with the following message: C:\firedect\dev\workspace\Test-Linux-ARM_1> "\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-i686-ming w32_arm-linux-gnueabi\bin\arm-linux-gnueabi-g++.exe" main.cpp c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9.4/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld.exe:c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9.4/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/libstdc++.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9.4/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld.exe:c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9.4/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/libstdc++.so:1: syntax error collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status C:\firedect\dev\workspace\Test-Linux-ARM_1> "\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-ming w32_arm-linux-gnueabihf\bin\arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++.exe" main.cpp c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/5.3.1/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld.exe:c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/5.3.1/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/5.3.1/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld.exe:c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/5.3.1/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.so:1: syntax error collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status As you can see, I have tested two versions of the toolchain, which show the same behavior.

Another weird behavior with arm gcc 5.3

by fengwei.yin

Hi list, I hit another weird problem after use gcc 5.3 (If I use gcc 4.9, there is no any issue) with android. With arm gcc 5.3, the C++ apps crash in one class constructor call. And gdb shows some vtbl items of the class are not relocated. With arm gcc 4.9, if set breakpoint in that constructor, we could see the vtbl items of the class are relocated. And Yes. I know the android bionic loader take response to do relocation. But if it works with gcc 4.9, I suppose bionic loader work well (unless gcc 5.3 create some new situation not handled by it). I attached the vtbl dump in gdb for gcc 5.3 and 4.9 both. We could see all valid entries in vtbl are relocated in 4.9 dump. But not all entries in vtbl are relocated in 5.3 dump (the address is not started with 0xf). Suggestions/hints are welcome. Thanks a lot. Regards Yin, Fengwei

The ii file is attached. Can't see significant differences. There is a patch in gcc-5 to make unified assembler syntax the default. Unfortunately, it changes how extended asms work, which is perhaps a bug. The message claims it doesn't affect extended asms, but it does. https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-11/msg01196.html The interesting bit is the change to ASM_APP_OFF. gcc-4.9 emits a .thumb after the extended asm to switch back into thumb mode just in case. gcc-5.3 instead emits .syntax unified, which doesn't change the arm/thumb mode, just the syntax supported. This is arguably a bug, but this doesn't immediately help you. It could take a little time to get gcc-5.x source fixed, and then the compiler binary releases. Or alternatively we could fix the asm to work with gcc 5. Jim

GCC still thinks that we are in thumb mode though, and continues to emit thumb instructions, some of which have no arm mode equivalent, e.g. cbnz and cbz. I don't see any convenient push/pop for thumb/arm mode. This is probably a macro expanded into the asm. You could have two versions of the asm, one that gets used when __thumb__ is defined and one that gets used when __thumb__ is not defined. The __thumb__ version would switch back into thumb mode at the end with a ".thumb" pseudo-op. Or alternatively, don't build with -mthumb. Jim

Updating LLVM on Debian/Ubuntu

by Renato Golin

Hey, Regarding the GCC ABI 5 issue, I was wondering what's the policy behind updating packages on stable updates for both Debian and Ubuntu. Our time frame is a bit constrained, and we definitely will have to take some hard decisions in the next six months, so I'd like to understand everything that is at stake before I have my own opinion. LLVM has a 6 month major cycle, releasing around February / August. Major releases are allowed to break the ABI. Major breakages need one release warning period. Ubuntu has a 6 month release cycle, around April / October. IIUC, major releases are allowed to have new versions of packages, but updates for the next few years have to keep within the same major release. Debian has a -1 years release cycle (heh), and has the same major / minor policy, which makes it a lot harder to update major versions. However, I believe unstable is still not closed, nor will be in August this year, so updating to LLVM 3.9 will not be a problem, but it will mean users will have to wait a bit more to get a working LLVM. The time frame is then: 3.8.0 released March (without the fix) Ubuntu X released April 3.9.0 releases August (hopefully with a fix) Ubuntu X+1 released October Debian freezes ?? LLVM 3.8.1 ?? If we don't back-port GCC ABI 5 into 3.8.1, Ubuntu users will not have the fix ever, unless you *can* update to 3.9.0 in August. Ubuntu X+1 will be fine using 3.9, as will Debian after August, unless you guys freeze before that. I believe both Debian and Ubuntu have a trunk-based LLVM package for experimental use only, and it would be bad, but not completely broken, to recommend users to use that meanwhile. If Debian freezes *before* 3.9.0 is out, or if Ubuntu can't update to 3.9.0 on April's release, then we'll have a strong reason to back-port the change to 3.8.x. If not, even though it will be uncomfortable for users until August, the argument is not that strong and will be hard to get it through. Any comments? Ideas? Does any of that make sense? cheers, --renato

Some questions about the gcc __sync intrinsics

by Edward Nevill

Hi, I have been comparing the stock gcc 5.2 and the Linaro 5.2 (Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11-1) and have noticed a difference with the __sync intrinsics. Here is the simple test case --- cut here --- int add_int(int add_value, int *dest) { return __sync_add_and_fetch(dest, add_value); } --- cut here --- Compiling with the stock gcc 5.2 (-S -O3) I get --------- add_int: .L2: ldaxr w2, [x1] add w2, w2, w0 stlxr w3, w2, [x1] cbnz w3, .L2 mov w0, w2 ret --------- Wheras with Linaro gcc 5.2 I get --------- add_int: .L2: ldxr w2, [x1] add w2, w2, w0 stlxr w3, w2, [x1] cbnz w3, .L2 dmb ish mov w0, w2 ret --------- Why the extra (unnecessary?) memory barrier? Also, is it worthwhile putting a prfm before the ldaxr. EG add_int: prfm pst1strm, [x1] .L2: ldaxr w2, [x1] See the following thread http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/355996.html All the best, Ed

gcc 5.2 code quality

by Edward Nevill

Hi, I have just switched to gcc 5.2 from 4.9.2 and the code quality does seem to have improved significantly. For example, it now seems much better at using ldp/stp and it seems to has stopped gratuitous use of the SIMD registers. However, I still have a few whinges:-) See attached copy.c / copy.s (This is a performance critical function from OpenJDK) pd_disjoint_words: cmp x2, 8 <<< (1) sub sp, sp, #64 <<< (2) bhi .L2 cmp w2, 8 <<< (1) bls .L15 .L2: add sp, sp, 64 <<< (2) (1) If count as a 64 bit unsigned is <= 8 then it is probably still <= 8 as a 32 bit unsigned. (2) Nowhere in the function does it store anything on the stack, so why drop and restore the stack every time. Also, minor quibble in the disass, why does sub use #64 whereas add uses just '64' (appreciate this is probably binutils, not gcc). .L15: adrp x3, .L4 add x3, x3, :lo12:.L4 ldrb w2, [x3,w2,uxtw] <<< (3) adr x3, .Lrtx4 add x2, x3, w2, sxtb #2 br x2 (3) Why use a byte table, this is not some sort of embedded system. Use a word table and this becomes. .L15: adrp x3, .L4 add x3, x3, :lo12:.L4 ldr x2, [x3, x2, lsl #3] br x2 An aligned word load takes exactly the same time as a byte load and we save the faffing about calculating the address. .L10: ldp x6, x7, [x0] ldp x4, x5, [x0, 16] ldp x2, x3, [x0, 32] <<< (4) stp x2, x3, [x1, 32] <<< (4) stp x6, x7, [x1] stp x4, x5, [x1, 16] (4) Seems to be something wrong with the load scheduler here? Why not move the stp x2, x3 to the end. It does this repeatedly. Unfortunately as this function is performance critical it means I will probably end up doing it in inline assembler which is time consuming, error prone and non portable. * Whinge mode off Ed
