made no attempt to divide the comments up and place them with just
the appropriate files. Here is an excerpt from Ralf's email:
Changes including comments on changes I made after cycling through
all the targets:
* Added ranlib support. Now all targets use "ranlib" instead of "ar -s"
to build an index for a library. If ranlib isn't detected during
configuration, check if ar -s is working and try "ar -s" instead of
* Removed $(XXX_FOR_TARGET) from make/target.cfg.in, use $(XXX) instead now.
* gcc-target-default.cfg: LINK_XXXX-defines reworked to solve the -l
problem under posix (cf gcc-target-default.cfg)
* rtems-glom replaced by Makefile-rules inside of the wrapup/Makefile.in
that has been using rtems-glom until now.
* Removed CCC and friends in gcc-target-default.cfg, as they have been
breaking CXX support.
* Removed CONFIG.$(TARGET_ARCH).CC lines from several custom/*.cfg
files, because this is now set in custom/default.cfg.
* Added aclocal/ar-s.m4, check whether "ar -s" is working
* Added aclocal/cygwin.m4 and aclocal/exeext.m4.
* Reworked aclocal/canonicalize-tools.m4: Added ar -s check; fixes for
problems when XXX_FOR_TARGET is given via environment variables (didn't
work for gcc until now), adding cygwin check, improved autoconf-cache
handling.
* Removed -l from make rule dependencies. LINK_LIBS is now allowed to
contain -L and -l. LINK_OBJS and LINK_FILES must not contain -L or -l.
gcc28 make-exe rules now link using $(LINK_OBJS) $(LINK_LIBS) => Almost
all custom/*.cfg are modified. This is very likely to break something
because of typos or having missed to edit a file.
Open problems, known bugs, things I didn't do:
* custom/p4000.cfg seems to be out of date and requires to be reviewed.
(JRS NOTE: It is subordinate p4650 and p4600 -- both of which build ok
after minor changes.)
* custom/psim.cfg needs to be reviewed, I added some changes to it, I am
insecure about.
(JRS NOTE: psim had a minor problem endif/endef swapped but runs fine.)
* rtems-glom.in can now be removed.
* gcc*.cfg files "make depend" rules don't honor language specific flags
(e.g CXXFLAGS is ignored for *.cc) - Nothing to worry about now, but may
cause problems for hosts/targets not using gcc or rtems-add-ons that use
external packages.
* AFAIS, the no_bsp BSP can't be build anymore, i.e. configure refused
to configure for it whatever I tried.
* The toplevel and toplevel+1 README files are quite out-dated
* cygwin.m4 isn't of much use for rtems. In most cases (cf.
aclocal/*.m4) it is worked around by directly using $host_os. I think
I'll remove it soon after the next snapshot
* Before release the cygwin patch needs to be tested under cygwin. I may
have broken/missed something (esp. the sed-pattern to convert \\ into /
may be broken).
* You should try to build/run the posix-BSP under solaris - I don't
expect problems, but I am not 100% sure, esp. with regard to ranlib/ar -s.
* You should consider to convert all make/compilers/*.cfg files into
make/compilers/*.cfg.in files and let autoconf generate the *.cfg. This
may help getting rid of some if/then/else statements and help
hard-coding some defines into those files in future and shouldn't
disturb now.
* Not having installed libc.a/libm.a on a host may still break building
rtems, esp. when using -disable-gcc28 as the gcc27-configuration scheme
directly accesses libc.a and libm.a. The problem should not appear when
using gcc28 because it references libc/libm only through -lc and -lm
which may be static or dynamic (I didn't test this).
* shgen is not yet included (I didn't yet have enough time to integrate it).
* I know about a few more configure-probs (esp. cross-checking
--enable-* flags).
+ warn/refuse to configure when --enable-libcdir and
--enable-gcc28 are given.
+ force --enable-libcdir when --disable-gcc28 is given
* Replaced KSHELL with @KSH@ in some shell scripts generated by configure.in.
* Added a dependency to aclocal/*.m4 in the toplevel Makefile => configure
and aclocal.m4 will now be rebuild when any aclocal/*.m4 file is changed
* Some changes to aclocal/gcc-pipe.m4 and aclocal/gcc-specs.m4
* Replaced i[[3456]]86-unknown-freebsd2.[[12]] with i[[3456]]86-*freebsd2.*
in configure.in, as I suppose there might exist a variety of valid vendors
(2nd field of the name-tripple)
* Disabled override MAKEFLAGS in toplevel Makefile.in - Potential
side-effects are not really clear to me.
* In mvme162.cfg, $(LINK_LIBS) is missing in the CC line in gcc28's make-exe
rule (yet another one I missed to edit). Just append $(LINK_LIBS) to
the "CC" line, like I hopefully did to ALL other custom/*.cfg files.
* the problem with mvme162lx.cfg is a follow-up problem of the
mvme162.cfg-bug.
* mvme162/console and idp/console had variables named Buffer which
conflicted with similarly named variables in some tests.
between CPU32 and CPU32+ cores. Commentary follows:
Unfortunately c/src/exec/score/cpu/m68k/m68k.h incorrectly defines
M68K_HAS_MISALIGNED for the plain old CPU32 (it is correct for the CPU32+).
As a consequence, the recently-relocated m68k memcpy() may still attempt
misaligned memory accesses.
I suggest that until such time as egcs/gcc differentiates these cores
that we invent a new preprocessor symbol, RTEMS__mcpu32p__ for this
purpose, on the assumption that egcs may one day grow a -mcpu32+ option
which will define a __mcpu32p__ symbol (whether this option would also
define __mcpu32__ is yet to be resolved).
BSPs that have a CPU32+ (like gen68360) would for the time being define
RTEMS__mcpu32p__ using -D. The symbol is `RTEMS__mcpu32p__' because
symbols of the form __xxx__ should only be defined by the compiler
itself.
Note that the patch tests for RTEMS__mcpu32p__ *before* __mcpu32__, since
__mcpu32__ is still defined for the CPU32+. It does not change the
gen68360 BSP.
An aside:
Note that in egcs-1.0.3a, the option -m68332 is identical to -mcpu32,
except it defines __mc68332__ as well as __mcpu32__. This is only
for the sake of compatibility. The story with -m68302 is similar;
it defines __mc68302__ and __mc68000__. In my opinion these options
are depreciated and ought to be avoided in RTEMS.
automatic handling of RTS/CTS. This only protects the on-chip buffers
and FIFOs -- not the termios queues as the RTS/CTS code in here did. It
may be necessary in the future to enable this automatic support.
Interrupt processing code added.
In some places, channel and duart base addresses were swapped.
task to be deleted was created via the same API (i.e. were of the object
class created by this API). For example, a POSIX thread calling
the rtems_task_delete(SELF) directive would incorrectly update the RTEMS
object local pointer table.
Jennifer discovered this when moving tests implemented in C using the
Classic RTEMS API into a tree of Ada tests. The Ada tests were implicitly
using POSIX services. This lead to some unexpected behavior.
of seconds since 1988 from RTEMS and not adding in the 1970-1988 correction
factor. Plus removed checks for data/time set since POSIX does not permit
this call to fail. GNAT 3.12 depends on this.
important distinctions between CPU models which are not made by gcc.
These distinctions help give us a more optimized memcpy(). This is important
for message queues and KA9Q.
