D.gnu - Patch for GDC on Sun Solaris

reply Marcel Martin <mmar freenet.de> writes:
Hello,

a few weeks ago I asked about a GDC port to Solaris
(http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D.gnu/886). Oskar Linde was
right, the crashes are due to unaligned reads and it's not hard to fix.

I've done the following modifications to GDC 0.10 (within GCC 3.4.3) in
order to get a working D compiler:
- added #include <alloca.h> to all files that use alloca() in the d/dmd/
  directory
- modified Dchar::calcHash() in d/dmd/dchar.c so it doesn't read unaligned
  memory locations (icalcHash() should probably also be changed)
- added -Wcast-align to the D_CC_FLAGS in d/Make-lang.in to aid in
  finding further unaligned reads
- d/target-ver-syms.sh was changed to allow "version (Sparc)" and
  "version (solaris)"

I've changed these things in Phobos:
- d/phobos/configure.in : For Solaris' semaphore.h it's necessary to link
  against librt
- d/phobos/config/gen_math.c : (my) Solaris doesn't have C99 FP_ constants
  and functions
- d/phobos/config/config-mid now has a "version (solaris)" block. It doesn't
  work, however and is just there to allow Phobos to compile.

The patch is at http://w148.de/~mmartin/d/gdc-solaris-patch . Remember to
run autoconf in d/phobos/ since it changes the configure.in.

Results for Thomas Kuehne's Dstress are at
http://w148.de/~mmartin/d/solaris-sparc_gdc-0.10

There are still quite a few issues (args.length doesn't work for example),
but I'm happy that I even got this far.

I've added your results and the patch.

Keep going *g*

Great! I'll add this to the next release. Please post/send any new patches.

Good! It might take some time, but I'll continue to work on it.

Q: Shouldn't this be version(SPARC) ?

Not that "Windows" and "linux" sets a very good example, but anyway ?

Both SPARC and Solaris are needed!

You can run Linux on SPARC, and Solaris on Intel.
