Re: Windows breakage -- again

I added some primops about a month ago (4ee4ab01c1d97845aecb7707ad2f9a80933e7a49) that call __sync_fetch_and_add, a gcc/llvm builtin. I'm a bit surprised to see this error. The GCC manual [1] says: particular operation cannot be implemented on the target processor, a warning will be generated and a call an external function will be generated. The external function will carry the same name as the builtin, with an additional suffix `_n' where n is the size of the data type." I'm a bit surprised by this error for two reasons: * A call to that symbol should only be generated if the CPU doesn't support the atomic instructions. What CPU model does Windows report that you have? * gcc should define such a symbol. For me the following test program compiles: #include uint8_t test(uint8_t* ptr, uint8_t val) { return __sync_fetch_and_add_1(ptr, val); } int main(void) { uint8_t n; return test(&n, 1); } Does that compile for you? Which version of GCC do we end up using on Windows? The reported symbol (___sync_fetch_and_add_1) has three leading underscores, that looks weird. Can you compile just libraries/ghc-prim/cbits/atomic.c and see if it's indeed GCC that generates a reference to that symbol? 1. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Atomic-Builtins.html On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:29 AM, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

Aargh! The Windows build has broken – again. I can’t build GHC on my laptop any more.

A clean ‘sh validate’ finishes as below. What on earth is `___sync_fetch_and_add_1'?

Can anyone help? Thanks!
