Progress: - Read up on AARCH64 TLS and LLD code base - Commented on upstream patch in hope of getting approval from the code-owners - TCWG-466 Implement ADRL pseudo in LLVM assembler -- Slow progress as the pseudo instruction does not fit well into the existing architecture -- On the positive side I have learned quite a bit about how the LLVM assembler works -- Will make a decision next week whether it is worth actively pursuing TCWG-466. Supporting ADRL is not high priority and whatever fix I come up with may be difficult to get accepted upstream. I'd still like to keep trying, at least as a background task, but I think that there is higher priority work that can be done instead. Next Week: On holiday (hopefully added correctly to Linaro google calendar). I'll be at the ACCU conference.

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

Hi folks, I am trying to use arm gcc 5.3 to build part of android AOSP and hit following issue with arm gcc 5.3: The gcc cmd line is like: /opt/work/acadine/mem_shrink/B2G-v2.5/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-5.3-linaro/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -I external/libcxx/include -I system/core/libbacktrace -I out/target/product/linaro_arm/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libbacktrace_intermediates -I out/target/product/linaro_arm/gen/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libbacktrace_intermediates -I libnativehelper/include/nativehelper -I system/core/base/include -I external/libunwind/include -isystem system/core/include -isystem system/media/audio/include -isystem hardware/libhardware/include -isystem hardware/libhardware_legacy/include -isystem hardware/ril/include -isystem libnativehelper/include -isystem frameworks/native/include -isystem frameworks/native/opengl/include -isystem frameworks/av/include -isystem frameworks/base/include -isystem out/target/product/linaro_arm/obj/include -isystem bionic/libc/arch-arm/include -isystem bionic/libc/include -isystem bionic/libc/kernel/uapi -isystem bionic/libc/kernel/uapi/asm-arm -isystem bionic/libm/include -isystem bionic/libm/include/arm -c -fno-exceptions -Wno-multichar -msoft-float -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -funwind-tables -fstack-protector -Wa,--noexecstack -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fno-short-enums -no-canonical-prefixes -fno-canonical-system-headers -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -include build/core/combo/include/arch/linux-arm/AndroidConfig.h -I build/core/combo/include/arch/linux-arm/ -Wno-psabi -mthumb-interwork -DANDROID -fmessage-length=0 -W -Wall -Wno-unused -Winit-self -Wpointer-arith -Werror=return-type -Werror=non-virtual-dtor -Werror=address -Werror=sequence-point -DNDEBUG -g -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fgcse-after-reload -frerun-cse-after-loop -frename-registers -DNDEBUG -UDEBUG -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DANDROID -fmessage-length=0 -W -Wall -Wno-unused -Winit-self -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-promo -std=gnu++11 -Werror=return-type -Werror=non-virtual-dtor -Werror=address -Werror=sequence-point -DNDEBUG -UDEBUG -mthumb -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-rtti -Wall -Werror -fPIC -D_USING_LIBCXX -std=gnu++11 -Werror=int-to-pointer-cast -Werror=pointer-to-int-cast -MD -MF out/target/product/linaro_arm/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libbacktrace_intermediates/UnwindCurrent.d -o out/target/product/linaro_arm/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libbacktrace_intermediates/UnwindCurrent.o system/core/libbacktrace/UnwindCurrent.cpp And I got error: /tmp/ccZ40ViQ.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccZ40ViQ.s:1752: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `cbnz r6,.L91' /tmp/ccZ40ViQ.s:1758: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `cbnz r0,.L92' /tmp/ccZ40ViQ.s:1763: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `cbz r1,.L107' /tmp/ccZ40ViQ.s:1941: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `cbz r6,.L100' But if I use the arm gcc 4.9, there is no any build issue. the "-dumpspecs" output of gcc 5.3 was attached.
