#9185: glibc 2.20 outputs warnings for _BSD_SOURCE (Stg.h) on unknowns archs -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: juhpetersen | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: | Version: 7.8.2 normal | Operating System: Linux Component: | Type of failure: Incorrect warning at Compiler | compile-time Keywords: | Test Case: Architecture: | Blocking: Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Stg.h defines _BSD_SOURCE which glibc 2.20 deprecates with warnings in favour of _DEFAULT_SOURCE. Since the verbose warning is output for every ghc invocation when building it is rather annoying and induces testsuite failures. The warning look like this: {{{ In file included from /usr/include/math.h:26:0: 0, from /usr/lib64/ghc-7.6.3/include/Stg.h:65, from /tmp/ghc783_0/ghc783_0.hc:3: /usr/include/features.h:148:3: warning: #warning "_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use _DEFAULT_SOURCE" [-Wcpp] # warning "_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use _DEFAULT_SOURCE" ^ }}} Solution/workaround is to define "_DEFAULT_SOURCE" and that works. I asked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1067110#c13 about how best to fix Stg.h and got the answer to just add _DEFAULT_SOURCE. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9185> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8558: Build xhtml and haddock only when `HADDOCK_DOCS=YES`

The change is rather simple: {{{ diff --git a/ghc.mk b/ghc.mk index dd91a82..b0f93a0 100644 --- a/ghc.mk +++ b/ghc.mk @@ -437,7 +437,9 @@ REGULAR_INSTALL_PACKAGES += compiler endif REGULAR_INSTALL_PACKAGES += $(addprefix libraries/,$(PACKAGES_STAGE2)) +ifeq "$(HADDOCK_DOCS)" "YES" PACKAGES_STAGE1 += xhtml +endif ifeq "$(Windows_Target)" "NO" ifneq "$(TargetOS_CPP)" "ios" PACKAGES_STAGE1 += terminfo @@ -652,8 +654,10 @@ BUILD_DIRS += libraries/integer-gmp/gmp BUILD_DIRS += libraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants endif +ifeq "$(HADDOCK_DOCS)" "YES" BUILD_DIRS += utils/haddock BUILD_DIRS += utils/haddock/doc +endif BUILD_DIRS += compiler BUILD_DIRS += utils/hsc2hs BUILD_DIRS += utils/ghc-pkg }}} and it does not affect validate runs, as validate has `HADDOCK_DOCS` set to `YES`. If this is introduced, I suggest to annotate these two with a tag in packages, so that one can run `./sync-all get --no-haddock`, similar to `--no-dph`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8558> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8544: Auto-Reference ticket-related branches in tickets ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This has two possible implementations (and both are useful and can complement each other): * Add a new field to the description „Related branch“. If for ticket #1234 there is a branch matching `T1234` (usually something like `wip/T1234`), link it from there. * When such a branch is created or deleted, post a message to the ticket. This way subscribers know about a possible ongoing implementation, and can review it. These should link somewhere I believe `https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/log/ghc?rev=<branchname>` is the most useful link. If the link is part of the „branch created“ message, it will become dangling after the branch is closed (presumably because the feature was merged; then the actually commits, if they reference the bug, will be auto-linked). I don’t think this is a problem. But if that is a problem, only put the link in the “Related branches” field, and clear it when the branch is deleted. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8544> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8527: container's Typeable.h is being shadowed by base's Typeable.h during preprocessing

#8527: container's Typeable.h is being shadowed by base's Typeable.h during preprocessing ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: parcs | Owner: parcs Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Package system | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Here's a reduced test case: == cpp.hs == {{{ #!haskell {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} #include "Typeable.h" main = return () }}} == command line == {{{ $ ghc-stage2 -c -package base cpp.hs In file included from cpp.hs:4:0: /home/patrick/code/ghc/libraries/base/include/Typeable.h:17:2: warning: #warning <Typeable.h> is obsolete and will be removed in GHC 7.10 [-Wcpp] #warning <Typeable.h> is obsolete and will be removed in GHC 7.10 ^ compilation IS NOT required $ ghc-stage2 -c -package base -package containers cpp.hs compilation IS NOT required $ ghc-stage2 -c -package containers -package base cpp.hs }}} Notice that if I pass `-package containers` to ghc, the cpp warning from Typeable.h (from the base library) doesn't appear. This is because containers also has a Typeable.h in its include path, and in the invocation of the preprocessor, containers' include path precedes base's no matter how I order the `-package` directives. This behavior is intuitive and limiting. To fix this, I think that the ordering of -I directives passed to the preprocessor should be consistent with the ordering of -package directives passed to ghc. For example, in the above test case, a warning should be shown in the 1st and 2nd invocations of ghc but not the 3rd, because in the 3rd invocation containers precedes base.
