#14381: Consider making ghc-pkg fill in abi-depends based on depends -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In GHC 8.2, we introduced `abi-depends` to solve #12485. Following the same pattern as all ghc-pkg fields, this field is to be fllled by whoever is performing the registration. I now suspect designing it this way was a mistake. In https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4728 we have a bug where Cabal is writing nonsense data for `abi-depends`, `ghc-pkg` isn't noticing it, and GHC is rejecting the package (with a "shadow" warning) when it gets to the end. The problem is the Cabal aggressively caches the contents of the package database (ostensibly because it is expensive to query `ghc-pkg`); this means that it is easy to get into a situation where its understanding of the ABIs of its dependencies is out-of-date (because it is not re- reading the database in order to get newer information). The insult to the injury is, in most cases, ghc-pkg already knows what the ABIs are supposed to be: they're whatever the ABIs of the packages pointed at by 'depends' already in the database are. So ghc-pkg could have computed the abi dependency itself, and prevented this stale data situation from ever happening. This sounds quite attractive to me. What do people think? Here is one possible proposal (but it is just one in the space): * `ghc-pkg` will be modified to ignore the `abi-depends` field (perhaps with a warning), to prevent itself from being poisoned by buggy versions of Cabal which are giving bad ABI information * Instead, `ghc-pkg` generates the `abi-depends` field by looking up dependency IDs from the database. If an ID is not found, it omits the dep from `abi-depends` (this is equivalent to suspending ABI checking in GHC, so this won't break anything; it will just make ABI checking less robust) * Possibly, introduce a new "virtual" field, which can be used to override `ghc-pkg` default -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14381> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#12075: Fails to build on powerpcspe because of inline assembly --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: glaubitz | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: powerpc | Type of failure: Building GHC failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Hello! I'm currently bootstrapping GHC on powerpcspe (e500v2) which is a PowerPC architecture without an FPU but with signal processing extensions (hence SPE). When building GHC on this architecture, it detects the host architecture as powerpc-linux-gnuspe or short "powerpc" which works most of the time. However, GHC contains some inline assembly in rts/StgCRunAsm.s which uses FPU instructions not available on e500v2 CPUs resulting in assembler error, here with GHC 7.10.3: {{{ "inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -optc-fno-stack-protector -optc-Wall -optc-Wextra -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing- declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-Wpointer-arith -optc-Wmissing-noreturn -optc-Wnested-externs -optc-Wredundant-decls -optc-Iincludes -optc-Iincludes/dist -optc-Iincludes/dist- derivedconstants/header -optc-Iincludes/dist-ghcconstants/header -optc- Irts -optc-Irts/dist/build -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -optc- DUSE_LIBFFI_FOR_ADJUSTORS -optc-fno-strict-aliasing -optc-fno-common -optc-Irts/dist/build/autogen -optc-O2 -optc-fomit-frame-pointer -optc-g -optc-DRtsWay=\"rts_v\" -optc-w -static -H32m -O -lffi -optl-pthread -lffi -optl-pthread -Iincludes -Iincludes/dist -Iincludes/dist- derivedconstants/header -Iincludes/dist-ghcconstants/header -Irts -Irts/dist/build -DCOMPILING_RTS -this-package-key rts -dcmm-lint -i -irts -irts/dist/build -irts/dist/build/autogen -Irts/dist/build -Irts/dist/build/autogen -O2 -c rts/StgCRun.c -o rts/dist/build/StgCRun.o /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) /tmp/ghcf20d_0/ghc_1.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ghcf20d_0/ghc_1.s:24:0: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stfd' (...) /tmp/ghcf20d_0/ghc_1.s:67:0: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lfd' /tmp/ghcf20d_0/ghc_1.s:68:0: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lfd' /tmp/ghcf20d_0/ghc_1.s:69:0: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lfd' rts/ghc.mk:236: recipe for target 'rts/dist/build/StgCRun.o' failed make[3]: *** [rts/dist/build/StgCRun.o] Error 1 Makefile:71: recipe for target 'all' failed make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/ghc-7.10.3' dh_auto_build: make -j1 returned exit code 2 debian/rules:109: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_build' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/ghc-7.10.3' debian/rules:47: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 (sid2-powerpcspe-sbuild)root@atlantis:/usr/src/ghc-7.10.3# }}} This can be verified by commenting out the assembly which will make the above compile command execute without any problems.
