# 04:20:22 Guma sh4rm4: you around?
# 04:20:52 sh4rm4 yo
# 04:24:34 djerome quits : Remote host closed the connection
# 04:26:34 Guma sh4rm4: I did run muls and getting error.
# 04:26:38 Guma booting up
# 04:27:44 sh4rm4 it's musl, not muls
# 04:27:48 sh4rm4 which error ?
# 04:28:35 Guma something about ar
# 04:28:38 Guma one sec
# 04:29:01 Guma ar: no archive members specified
# 04:29:10 Guma let me do paste bin
# 04:29:53 Guma http://pastebin.com/qjh8Wn5p
# 04:30:35 Guma also it is using -std=c99 instead of x11. But that is another thing
# 04:33:09 Guma sh4rm4: any ideas?
# 04:33:28 sh4rm4 sec
# 04:33:45 sh4rm4 x11 ?
# 04:34:08 Guma yes I want to build with x11. since I want to use c++x11
# 04:34:11 Guma g++
# 04:34:42 sh4rm4 you dont build a C library with c++
# 04:34:46 sh4rm4 that's nonsense
# 04:35:06 sh4rm4 anyway... did you use gnu make or bsd make ?
# 04:35:37 sh4rm4 when you enter "make", does it run gnu make or bsd make ?
# 04:36:04 Guma it looks like bsd. I just did which. Let me correct this.
# 04:36:45 Guma do I have to clean and restart?
# 04:36:49 Guma Or just continue
# 04:40:30 sh4rm4 just run build.sh again
# 04:40:39 sh4rm4 it will continue and hopefully work
# 04:40:43 Guma as -v -> Apple Inc version cctools-855, GNU assembler version 1.38
# 04:41:10 sh4rm4 ?
# 04:42:06 Guma this is the version I am running installed using brew. So it is GNU
# 04:42:33 sh4rm4 as and make are different programs
# 04:43:15 sh4rm4 run make --version
# 04:44:58 sh4rm4 ah... i get an idea what's wrong
# 04:47:12 sh4rm4 Guma, up for some command line action ?
# 04:47:37 sh4rm4 if so, cd into the musl build dir inside the musl-cross dir
# 04:47:42 sh4rm4 then run
# 04:47:47 sh4rm4 touch empty.c
# 04:48:12 sh4rm4 arm-linux-musleabihf-gcc -c empty.c -o empty.o
# 04:48:33 sh4rm4 ar rc lib/librt.a empty.o
# 04:48:38 sh4rm4 ar rc lib/libm.a empty.o
# 04:48:50 Guma ok
# 04:49:09 sh4rm4 in case arm-linux-mus... is not found, add the full path to it
# 04:49:34 sh4rm4 (its in the bin dir somewhere in the prefix you specified in config.sh)
# 04:58:46 sh4rm4 Guma, how's it looking ?
# 05:02:30 Guma Sorry had phone call. Working on it now
# 05:02:34 Guma Work :(
# 05:03:22 sh4rm4 http://sprunge.us/UbNj
# 05:03:37 sh4rm4 download this with wget
# 05:03:55 sh4rm4 and save it as patches/musl-1.1.2-mac.diff in the musl-cross dir
# 05:04:04 sh4rm4 then run ./clean.sh and start over
# 05:04:45 sh4rm4 should hopefully fix the issue you're having
# 05:06:52 Guma sh4rm4: I really appriciate your help :)
# 05:07:15 Guma ok before I restart the build one more question.
# 05:08:34 sh4rm4 shoot
# 05:08:41 sh4rm4 i'm about to go to bed
# 05:09:35 Guma are there any other flags that I can add besides "--with-arch=armv7-a --with-float=hard --with-fpu=vfpv3-d16" for ARM Cortex A9 MPCore™ 4xCPU Processor at 1GHz
# 05:10:11 sh4rm4 there are other flags
# 05:10:15 sh4rm4 however none that make sense
# 05:10:40 Guma I will study them after I am done with this. Just want to get this going first
# 05:10:40 sh4rm4 that's pretty much optimal for your setup
# 05:10:58 sh4rm4 there are other fpu types that may be slightly faster
# 05:11:04 sh4rm4 maybe neon or neonv2
# 05:11:07 Guma there was somethign about --disable threads and lts when I did gcc -v
# 05:11:21 Guma does this mean I will not be able to build threaded code?
# 05:11:22 sh4rm4 but there shouldnt be a big difference, and none at all if you dont do floats
# 05:11:26 sh4rm4 no
# 05:12:08 sh4rm4 the default musl-cross setup is pretty much optimal and threads work out of the box
# 05:12:12 Guma cpuinfo shows neon
# 05:12:24 sh4rm4 yes but dont use that yet
# 05:12:30 Guma ok
# 05:12:42 Guma ok talk tomorrow. I will let you know hee what the outcome is
# 05:12:46 sh4rm4 those settings above come from a guy that works for broadcom
# 05:12:58 Guma THANK YOU
# 05:13:06 sh4rm4 and are intended to be used with arm cortex a8/9
# 05:13:22 sh4rm4 yw, and good luck
# 05:14:36 sh4rm4 btw: https://github.com/GregorR/musl-cross/issues/34
# 05:15:07 sh4rm4 the issue will likely be fixed properly soon
# 05:15:21 sh4rm4 the patch i sent you is a hack to make it work for your specific use case
# 05:15:37 Guma so I just have to export in shel empty CROSS_COMPILE
# 05:15:46 bhundven btw. I'm updating timo's patch for musl support in ct-ng
# 05:15:54 sh4rm4 Guma, maybe
# 05:16:00 bhundven adding 1.1.3 and 1.0.3
# 05:16:09 sh4rm4 setting it globally could have unwanted consequences
# 05:16:12 sh4rm4 bhundven, nice
# 05:16:21 Guma so ct-ng will also work?
# 05:16:30 sh4rm4 bhundven, if you use 1.1.3 you should use this patch: ...
# 05:16:31 bhundven hopefully, very soon
# 05:17:05 sh4rm4 http://git.etalabs.net/cgit/musl/commit/?id=9a4ad02214a859e93d2c980e4535378a6a74e3a6 and http://git.etalabs.net/cgit/musl/commit/?id=2d8cc92a7cb4a3256ed07d86843388ffd8a882b1
# 05:17:06 Guma ok what is the general ETI when this will be merged to main?
# 05:17:08 bhundven sh4rm4: know if musl works with cortex-m*
# 05:17:15 sh4rm4 bhundven, sure
# 05:17:23 bhundven sh4rm4: sweet
# 05:17:25 sh4rm4 it supports anything back to armv4tl
# 05:17:30 Guma I have fast box so build should be fast
# 05:17:36 bhundven gets his cortex-m devboard back tomorrow
# 05:17:47 sh4rm4 and it would even support armv4 (but gcc prevents usage of eabi there)
# 05:17:53 bhundven yup
# 05:18:02 bhundven Guma: it will be a bit
# 05:18:09 Guma so musl and ng will both be updated
# 05:18:18 Guma soon?
# 05:18:26 Guma great!!!
# 05:18:28 sh4rm4 probably
# 05:18:37 sh4rm4 but if i was you, i'd test my patch first
# 05:18:37 bhundven I need to test with a few different platforms first
# 05:18:53 Guma I have 10.10 and could try this if you guys care :)
# 05:18:55 sh4rm4 there may be other issues, or you may have your compiler ready in the next 20 mins
# 05:18:55 bhundven then it has to go through the yann approval process
# 05:19:25 Guma yann?
# 05:19:30 bhundven y_morin
# 05:19:30 sh4rm4 y_morin
# 05:19:36 Guma :)
# 05:19:51 sh4rm4 c'est une french name
# 05:20:08 bhundven just nods and points at sh4rm4
# 05:20:45 bhundven sh4rm4: you'll be happy to know my first test platform is sh4-
# 05:20:52 bhundven :D
# 05:21:00 sh4rm4 oh, how courageous
# 05:21:25 sh4rm4 so you're gonna be the 2nd user of the sh4 port
# 05:21:31 bhundven haha
# 05:21:33 bhundven yup
# 05:21:37 sh4rm4 apart from the guy who wrote the port
# 05:22:07 sh4rm4 bhundven, btw...
# 05:22:39 sh4rm4 if i was you i'd try to build/test musl-cross at least once before approaching the ct-ng port
# 05:23:13 bhundven my patches are based on: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/257187/
# 05:23:14 sh4rm4 so you have the reference compiler to make comparisons if you run into issues
# 05:23:40 bhundven but with minor tweaks
# 05:23:53 sh4rm4 that's slightly outdated
# 05:23:57 bhundven indeed
# 05:24:04 sh4rm4 musl-cross has all the latest patches
# 05:24:11 sh4rm4 btw dont try to use gcc 4.9.0
# 05:24:15 sh4rm4 or .1
# 05:24:17 bhundven hence, I said I updated to add mainline and stable
# 05:24:27 bhundven .1 isn't in ct-ng yet
# 05:24:34 bhundven y not with 4.9.0?
# 05:24:35 sh4rm4 they're both broken
# 05:24:47 sh4rm4 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61144
# 05:24:55 Guma so when 4.9.x might be available? Just wondering... (when it is ready? :)
# 05:25:11 sh4rm4 when the bug is fixed as soon as 4.9.2 comes out
# 05:25:26 sh4rm4 there's an experimental patch in musl-git to workaround the issue
# 05:25:35 sh4rm4 but it's not tested yet
# 05:26:47 bhundven lame
# 05:27:01 bhundven ok
# 05:27:03 bhundven 4.8.3
# 05:27:04 bhundven :D
# 05:27:54 sh4rm4 yes, that one works well
# 05:28:30 sh4rm4 btw, that was the 3rd gcc .0 release in a row that had codegen bugs
# 05:29:11 sh4rm4 so using gcc x.x.0 for anything serious is braindead
# 05:29:54 bhundven is tracking so many gcc bugs
# 05:30:19 Guma sh4rm4: last entry is + exit 0
# 05:30:26 Guma looks good :)
# 05:30:59 bhundven in production, no one ever uses a gcc x.x.0
# 05:31:03 bhundven except distros
# 05:31:11 bhundven and they're crazy
# 05:31:43 bhundven when I worked for watchguard, we waited for x.x.2 at least
# 05:32:04 sh4rm4 yes, archlinux switched immediately to 4.9.0
# 05:32:12 bhundven same with debian
# 05:32:19 sh4rm4 Guma, nice
# 05:32:21 bhundven but jessie is now on 4.9.1
# 05:32:33 bhundven I use sid
# 05:32:37 sh4rm4 you should now have a full C/C++ toolchain for your linux board
# 05:33:37 Guma I will try to build some code tomorrow and run on target. Will let you know tomorrow
# 05:33:43 sh4rm4 aye
# 05:33:47 Guma thank you everyone
# 05:33:53 sh4rm4 yw
# 05:34:02 bhundven ok, test build started. I'm gonna go make dinner and eat. I'm sure it will crash/break
# 05:34:18 bhundven 10pm dinner :-/
# 05:34:50 sh4rm4 ok, see you later (bedtime)

# 06:41:14 bhundven stupid threads option was wrong. took me a bit to figure out why cc_core_pass_1 wasn't building
# 07:12:05 bhundven kos_tom: so, soon we'll have a crosstool-ng that will use musl as the libc. When I get to my arm target, I'll test with buildroot to see if I can get it to run
# 07:12:23 Guma joins #crosstool-ng
# 07:14:05 bhundven sh4rm4: there is a workaround that buildroot uses for >=4.9.0 http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/musl/musl.mk#n21
# 07:14:36 bhundven I'll add the same test and config option

# 07:25:40 kos_tom bhundven: cool !
# 07:27:46 bhundven few gcc patches to add
# 07:30:02 bhundven otherwise, I get to final gcc (when it breaks, because of libstdc++ calling conventions)

# 08:59:16 bhundven sh[34][a]- didn't build
# 08:59:35 bhundven I'm guessing because the patch doesn't include that architecture
# 09:00:23 bhundven I have a gcc patch for 4.8.2 that works, now I need to get that patch to work with 4.9 and other 4.[89].x versions and I'll post to the mailing list

# 16:27:58 Guma sh4rm4: is the default toolchain build has arm or thumb instructions enabled?
# 16:31:02 sh4rm4 both, iirc
# 16:31:24 sh4rm4 uses thumb when it can generate smaller/faster code, arm otherwise
# 16:36:46 doc2 quits : Remote host closed the connection
# 16:37:53 Guma fo since I will not have 16 bit code it is ok to turn on arm only?
# 16:41:15 y_morin joins #crosstool-ng
# 16:51:56 sh4rm4 thumb is not only for 16bit code
# 16:52:39 sh4rm4 afaik it can also be used for 8bit code for example when looping over a string
# 16:52:50 sh4rm4 which is a pretty common scenario
# 16:53:34 Guma sh4rm4: just wondering if I would want to build toolchain by hand (maybe one day to see) what would be any differences if any to build for embedded vs app development
# 16:54:05 sh4rm4 define embedded

# 17:14:10 sh4rm4 for bare-metal you would choose a bare-metal libc like newlib

# 17:35:18 Guma sh4rm4: I see
# 17:35:59 Guma sh4rm4: Not are you familiar how to setup Eclipse after build? Or you just doing command line/vi etc
# 17:39:06 sh4rm4 the latter
# 17:39:52 sh4rm4 configuring/fighting with the IDE turned out to swallow too much time in the past
# 18:15:25 Guma That is what I preffer but I have other users here who insists on IDE ...
# 18:17:03 Guma sh4rm4: Question about last night build. There ./include /lib in /opt/cross/arm-linux-musleabihf and /opt/cross/arm-linux-musleabihf/arm-linux-musleabihf. What is the difference and which I should use in my case? Just wondering
# 18:20:24 sh4rm4 using to put your custom headers into ?
# 18:20:37 sh4rm4 i'd use the one that has unistd.h in it
# 18:23:18 Guma do you mind pastebin some small mike file so I can quickly modify paths and build main/Hello world to test
# 18:27:19 Guma sh4rm4: Do you have to set up some env variables? /opt/cross/arm-linux-musleabihf/arm-linux-musleabihf/bin/g++ main.cpp produces g++: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
# 18:30:33 sh4rm4 Guma: export PATH=/opt/cross/arm-linux-musleabihf/arm-linux-musleabihf/bin:$PATH
# 18:30:42 sh4rm4 and then use arm-linux-musleabihf-g++
# 18:30:45 sh4rm4 and not g++
# 18:30:53 Guma ok let me try this
# 18:35:54 ius quits : *.net *.split
# 18:40:53 Guma ok it build and after moving a.out to target did chmod 700 and try to run but I got this: -bash: ./a.out: No such file or directory
# 18:41:41 Guma sh4rm4: file a.out prints -> a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
# 18:41:47 Guma any ideas?
# 18:42:15 Guma Do I have to move some libs from build machine? to target?
# 18:42:39 sh4rm4 Guma, use -static
# 18:43:25 sh4rm4 "No such file or directory" comes from the binary's interpreter (the dynlinker, which is not installed on your arm board)
# 18:43:43 sh4rm4 so whenever you compile, use -static
# 18:43:54 sh4rm4 or just make an alias in your shell
# 18:44:07 sh4rm4 ARM-GCC=arm-linux-musleabihf-g++ -static
# 18:44:16 sh4rm4 something like that

# 18:58:54 Guma_ sh4rm4: Is there a easy way to verify if hard fpu is enables and used? It works :) Yeeey
# 19:01:00 sh4rm4 if it works then it does
# 19:01:39 sh4rm4 gcc was compiled with hardfloat enabled
# 19:02:04 sh4rm4 so there's no reason it should use anthing else
# 19:03:20 sh4rm4 btw
# 19:03:39 sh4rm4 if i was you i'd try to compile a static hello world in both C and C++ with -Os -s
# 19:03:46 sh4rm4 and then look at the difference
# 19:03:55 sh4rm4 (filesize)
# 19:04:16 sh4rm4 the C binary will probably be smaller than 10KB
# 19:04:25 sh4rm4 the C++ one around 1.5 MB
# 19:04:37 sh4rm4 that's what you get for using a bloated language
# 19:10:49 bhundven y_morin: still having a growing pain moving from hg to git. having an issue with 'git send-email'
# 19:11:08 bhundven followed: https://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-send-email.html
# 19:11:25 bhundven did: git send-email --to='"Yann E. MORIN" ' --cc='crossgcc@sourceware.org' outgoing/*
# 19:11:37 bhundven git said: Result: OK
# 19:11:37 sh4rm4 git send-mail is a pretty buggy perl script
# 19:11:52 sh4rm4 depending on like 10 other perl libs
# 19:12:01 bhundven hrm. ok.
# 19:12:18 sh4rm4 there's also git format-patch
# 19:12:31 sh4rm4 git format-patch HEAD~10
# 19:12:57 sh4rm4 creates 10 patches from before HEAD
# 19:13:26 bhundven sure, that's what I used to make the outgoing/ directory
# 19:13:34 bhundven just like the man page says
# 19:13:37 sh4rm4 the git send-mail in my git version (1.8.4) is broken...
# 19:13:53 sh4rm4 the 1.7.x one used to work
# 19:15:23 bhundven mine is 2.0.1
# 19:15:48 sh4rm4 maybe i should update...
# 19:21:06 bhundven yea, weird, I can't get it to work
# 19:21:12 bhundven just tried again
# 19:23:19 Guma joins #crosstool-ng
# 19:25:47 Guma_ quits : Ping timeout: 264 seconds
# 19:28:32 Guma quits : Ping timeout: 245 seconds
# 19:28:42 Guma joins #crosstool-ng
# 19:35:32 Guma I was thinking to do some float operation and disassemble it and see if there is something there? But I am not familiar with arm ASM.. Yes
# 19:36:53 Guma sh4rm4: also I was wondering for such a small source "Hello World" the static bin is quite large. Is there a way to "trim" what is not needed.
# 19:40:44 sh4rm4 hardfloat is not about float insns
# 19:40:51 sh4rm4 it's about calling convention
# 19:41:12 sh4rm4 Guma, no, because libstdc++ is so bloated
# 19:41:36 sh4rm4 the only way to trim C++ apps is by not using templates and the stdlib
# 19:41:48 Guma ok
# 19:41:56 sh4rm4 (so-called free-standing C++ apps)
# 19:42:19 sh4rm4 back to hf...
# 19:42:33 sh4rm4 the float code emitted is identical to softfp
# 19:42:35 Guma sh4rm4: I am using std::cout only nothing else.
# 19:43:08 Guma Ok so if it is the same there is has to be some info in ELF header?
# 19:43:13 sh4rm4 hardfloat just passes floats in float registers instead of integer registers/stack
# 19:43:31 sh4rm4 so the performance gain from using it is very minimal
# 19:43:36 Guma It is matter which registers are used
# 19:43:44 sh4rm4 basically only visible in functions that take float arguments
# 19:44:03 sh4rm4 and only if they're called billions of times (i.e. from an inner loop)
# 19:44:12 Guma how about nean. Is this flag possible with toolchain
# 19:44:15 sh4rm4 so the whole hardfloat hype is more or less bogus
# 19:45:12 sh4rm4 Guma, maybe there's something like -mfpu=neon
# 19:45:17 sh4rm4 consult the gcc docs
# 19:45:38 Guma ok let me check and I wil try it and report :)
# 19:50:27 y_morin bhundven: Hey! ;-)
# 19:51:22 y_morin bhundven: I usually do: git send-email ${BASE}..${HEAD} --to 'whatever' --cc 'whatever'
# 19:51:48 y_morin bhundven: But you need to tell git what smtp server to use in ~/.gitconfig
# 19:53:24 y_morin bhundven: Here's the relevant part in my ~/.gitconfig: http://code.bulix.org/pd3xz1-86547?raw

# 21:18:58 bhundven I still have some updates to that patch, but I'm just trying to get some early testers and feedback
# 21:19:10 y_morin bhundven: OK :-)
# 21:20:11 bhundven it's kind of funny that sh4rm4 and Guma were talking about musl as I had just got my cortex-m devboard back and was looking into it myself
# 21:20:38 Guma bhundven: :)
# 21:22:27 sh4rm4 bhundven, i rather often talk about musl since i'm a contributor
# 21:22:35 bhundven :)
# 21:23:03 bhundven sh4rm4: I look forward to any comments, feedback, and suggestions!
# 21:23:21 sh4rm4 did you see my earlier feedback ?
# 21:23:35 bhundven yes, I haven't gotten to the patch you posted
# 21:24:29 sh4rm4 it fixes a couple of issues especially related to microblaze and adds support for sh4 and maybe others
# 21:24:37 bhundven but I'm sure the next version of the patch will have that update, plus more versions of gcc supported.
# 21:24:58 doc2 quits : Remote host closed the connection
# 21:25:11 bhundven there is x32, I added a stub for it's support, but I don't think ct-ng supports that arch yet.
# 21:25:13 sh4rm4 did you incorporate the bugfix for the gcc 4.9.0 codegen bug into your gcc 4.9 patch ?
# 21:25:27 bhundven no, there is a work-around buildroot uses that I applied
# 21:26:24 sh4rm4 the trick to support x32 is described here https://github.com/GregorR/musl-cross/issues/19
# 21:26:28 bhundven https://bitbucket.org/bhundven/crosstool-ng/commits/168dcf1125cf6bfdb2a8b8472fc16956fc55d212?at=multilib#Lscripts/build/libc/musl.shT41
# 21:27:11 bhundven sh4rm4: right, I mean that I don't think crosstool-ng itself has support for x32 yet.
# 21:27:23 bhundven as I also have a multilib branch on that same git repository
# 21:27:27 sh4rm4 yes, but the trick i posted applies to ct-ng as well
# 21:27:37 bhundven ok
# 21:28:37 bhundven there is also a test that needs to be done with musl and buildroot, since buildroot can use musl as the main libc, if the toolchain is using musl as the libc.
# 21:28:38 loide quits : Quit: Saindo
# 21:29:33 sh4rm4 Guma, is there a directory called linux in your musl-cross include dir ?
# 21:30:46 Guma sh4rm4: Nop
# 21:30:48 Guma Why
# 21:31:24 sh4rm4 because it should
# 21:31:43 Guma sh4rm4: is the TRIPLE is really a label? or actually during build is parsed and user for something specific
# 21:31:56 sh4rm4 ?
# 21:32:01 bhundven sh4rm4: I was able to build a versatile_defconfig with my arm sample
# 21:32:21 sh4rm4 bhundven, nice
# 21:32:25 Guma TRIPLE = arm-linux-musleabihf in Config.sh
# 21:32:37 sh4rm4 Guma, yes, and ?
# 21:32:49 sh4rm4 i dont understand your question
# 21:33:33 Guma No I was just wondering. Since I am looking for any other conf parameters (if they exists) that can be placed in Config.sh
# 21:34:30 sh4rm4 Guma, play with advanced parameters once you have advanced knowledge
# 21:34:38 Guma so what about this linux missing
# 21:34:41 sh4rm4 you're just gonna break your toolchain otherwise
# 21:34:51 sh4rm4 i'm about to debug it
# 21:35:11 sh4rm4 the step that's supposed to install kernel-headers failed for some reason
# 21:35:34 sh4rm4 it's not crucial
# 21:35:54 sh4rm4 but some linux tools like strace, busybox, iptables etc want it installed
# 21:36:13 sh4rm4 also it's easy to install manually
# 21:36:56 y_morin bhundven: Unfortunately, no feature patches to components. So, no patch to gcc or binutils to add support for musl.
# 21:37:11 y_morin bhundven: Having feature patches is a nightmare in the long run.
# 21:37:29 Guma_ joins #crosstool-ng
# 21:37:33 y_morin bhundven: It has caused some problems (both technical and human) in the past.
# 21:37:41 bhundven y_morin: guessing you mean you want me to break the patch up
# 21:38:04 y_morin bhundven: No. I mean: no musl support in ct-ng until gcc has official support for it.
# 21:38:19 sh4rm4 so not for the next 3 years
# 21:38:28 bhundven heh
# 21:38:52 y_morin sh4rm4: Yes, it might sound harsh, sorry. :-(
# 21:39:08 Guma quits : Ping timeout: 240 seconds
# 21:39:33 y_morin sh4rm4: It's just that feature patches that have not been vouched by upstream are a no-no. They caused too many problems in the past.
# 21:39:35 sh4rm4 well i guess if you had responded that to the original patch by timo some ppl could have saved a lot of work
# 21:39:46 bhundven oh well, time wasted is not time lost. I'll keep that branch up to date.
# 21:40:04 y_morin sh4rm4: I got bitten once, twice, and I'd like to avoid thrice.
# 21:40:12 y_morin sh4rm4: You're right.
# 21:40:13 sh4rm4 *shrug*
# 21:43:19 sh4rm4 bhundven, you did build musl-cross once, right ?
# 21:43:44 bhundven no
# 21:43:53 sh4rm4 ok
# 21:44:11 sh4rm4 btw it might be nice if you post on the ct-ng ml about your branch
# 21:44:24 bhundven personally, after new news. I'm not going to waste my time on it.
# 21:44:32 sh4rm4 so other ppl wanting musl can checkout yours instead of doing the same stuff again
# 21:45:22 sh4rm4 i know at least one other guy that did the same work already
# 21:45:55 sh4rm4 they've got some corporate guideline that ct-ng is to be used for toolchains
# 21:48:46 bhundven sh4rm4: I've lost interest. I'm not going to spend time maintaining out of tree code that will not be accepted.
# 21:48:59 sh4rm4 that was fast
# 21:49:09 sh4rm4 10 minutes ago you said the opposite
# 21:49:50 bhundven BDFL spoke, and I already have the built-test, multilib, and a few other things I'm working on.
# 21:50:15 sh4rm4 whatever
# 21:50:33 bhundven I'd love to see musl in ct-ng, but if y_morin doesn't want to add an out of tree feature to gcc, I don't want to maintain a fork.
# 21:50:52 bhundven the code is there. I'm not going to remove it
# 21:51:09 bhundven so as opensource goes...
# 21:51:30 sh4rm4 yes, but nothing will go to look into your bitbucket repo
# 21:51:51 sh4rm4 unless you reply to the thread on the ML or something
# 21:52:22 sh4rm4 but *shrug*, i dont care about ct-ng
# 21:53:49 bhundven that's a positive attitude!
# 21:54:25 bhundven I've done my part...
# 21:54:28 bhundven parts #crosstool-ng
# 21:54:36 y_morin sh4rm4:, bhundven: I too would love to see an alternative to uClibc, be it musl or anything else.
# 21:54:49 y_morin Woops... :-(
# 21:55:35 sh4rm4 y_morin, do you agree that having musl support in ct-ng could make a strong point in getting the gcc maintainers convinced to merge musl support finally ?
# 21:55:51 sh4rm4 the problem is that they just ignore our patches
# 21:55:56 sh4rm4 just like you did
# 21:56:29 sh4rm4 it's like red hat told their employees that musl is a dangerous rival and they should do nothing to support it
# 21:57:01 sh4rm4 whenever i file a bug report and mention musl, all the red hat guys turn their back
# 21:57:14 y_morin sh4rm4: That's unfortunate, I agree.
# 21:57:37 y_morin sh4rm4: However, as soon as we carry feature patches to gcc, it's a big risk.
# 21:57:46 sh4rm4 risk of what ?
# 21:57:57 sh4rm4 of getting a bugreport once it's broken ?
# 21:58:23 y_morin sh4rm4: Of breaking something else (like what happened in Buildroot not so long ago)
# 21:58:37 sh4rm4 oh? what happened ?
# 21:58:49 y_morin sh4rm4: If upstream gcc accepts patches, then we can backport them until there is a release.
# 21:59:12 y_morin sh4rm4: Just az sec, I'll dig up the issue...
# 21:59:13 sh4rm4 that's not gonna happen for reasons i just mentioned
# 22:00:09 sh4rm4 glibc is the cornerstone of red hat's market domination
# 22:00:14 sh4rm4 they see musl as a threat
# 22:00:21 y_morin sh4rm4: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=7208
# 22:00:21 sh4rm4 because it's much better
# 22:00:52 sh4rm4 once musl is used instead of glibc, GNU/Linux is a lie
# 22:01:26 y_morin sh4rm4: I don't talk politics... It's a vain discussion.
# 22:01:39 y_morin sh4rm4: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=7208#c8 <- SoI guess you guys were aware of the issue.
# 22:01:46 y_morin *So I
# 22:04:14 sh4rm4 no, we weren't
# 22:04:18 y_morin sh4rm4: It is a problem with exceptions.
# 22:04:34 sh4rm4 yeah, it would have been nice if you guys had informed us
# 22:04:56 sh4rm4 instead of thinking "musl sucks it breaks our toolchains"
# 22:05:12 sh4rm4 anyway, thanks for the link
# 22:05:16 sh4rm4 i opened an issue
# 22:05:22 y_morin sh4rm4: I never said "musl" sucks. I believe it is a nice effort.
# 22:05:24 sh4rm4 https://github.com/GregorR/musl-gcc-patches/issues/5
# 22:06:09 y_morin sh4rm4: It just needs a bit more time to be better known, and considered as a viable replacement, if not for glibc, at least for uClibc.
# 22:06:19 sh4rm4 well i guess you agree that problems can only be fixed if they're known
# 22:06:36 y_morin sh4rm4: Do you know how long it took for uClibc to have its tuple, and be recognized by gcc?
# 22:06:36 Guma_ quits : Remote host closed the connection
# 22:06:38 sh4rm4 there are many ppl that consider it a viable replacement
# 22:06:44 sh4rm4 no
# 22:07:13 Guma joins #crosstool-ng
# 22:07:16 y_morin sh4rm4: Yes, but given the comment in the bug report, which says: "there is a discussion about this problem on the musl mailing list" we concluded it was known. ;-)
# 22:07:31 sh4rm4 but i see that support for other stuff that's not in direct rivalship with glibc got merged quickly
# 22:07:45 Guma quits : Read error: Connection reset by peer
# 22:07:48 y_morin sh4rm4: IIRC, uClibc in 2005 was still not supported by gcc, although it had been around for many years...
# 22:08:05 y_morin sh4rm4: Yes, politics. I don;t delve into these. ;-)
# 22:08:46 y_morin sh4rm4: I fond it a shame that gcc gained support for the android tuple so fast. Not because it was fast, but because more important stuff linger for much longer. :-(
# 22:08:54 y_morin *I found...
# 22:08:55 sh4rm4 i guess some company has to move some black money into a redhat developers pockets before the merge will happen
# 22:09:31 y_morin sh4rm4: Well, gcc is a GNU project, so even if RH pays some developers, it's the FSF that has the last say.
# 22:09:40 sh4rm4 not really
# 22:09:52 sh4rm4 90% of the core developers are employed by red hat
# 22:09:57 sh4rm4 nothing goes when they say no
# 22:11:00 sh4rm4 and ultimately richard stallmann may see musl as a threat for the "GNU/Linux" brand as well
# 22:14:49 y_morin sh4rm4: I think the discussion on the musl list was started with this post: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2014/06/15/1
# 22:15:29 y_morin sh4rm4: At least, it has the same keywords. ;-)
# 22:16:22 sh4rm4 umm
# 22:16:37 sh4rm4 but it doesnt mention anything about the origin of the bug from the patch in musl-cross
# 22:17:08 sh4rm4 i.e. the crucial bit of information
# 22:17:29 y_morin sh4rm4: I never said there was a mention of our bug. Instead, your issue was mentioned in our bug report (ie the other way around).
# 22:18:14 sh4rm4 anyway, it's good that it finally came to our ears by chance
# 22:31:02 y_morin OK, I'm off, time to sleep...
# 22:31:07 y_morin quits : Quit: Nighty Night!
