Summary: ctypes build fails on Solaris 10
Initial Comment:
Thomas,
I tried to build Python from cvs (svn rev 50905) on
Solaris 10 today.
Compiler was gcc 3.4. I got a text relocation error
when linking
ctypes.so:

non-writable sections

I tried configuring both with and without the
--with-system-ffi flag.
The error was the same in both cases.
If you need more information, let me know.

Yes, the patch was supposed to be applied to the top-level
setup.py script, in the same directory as the README and the
LICENSE files.
If you applied the patch, and '-mimpure-text' does not
appear on the linker command line (for me, it appears at the
very end), the only explanation I see is that
sys.platform == "sunos5"
is not true on your system. Can that be?

When I manually link _ctypes.o with -mimpure-text the link
succeeds, but applying it to the configure script had no
discernable effect. Was I supposed to apply it to the
top-level Python configure script or to one deeper in the tree?

Thomas,
I did an svn up (rev 51078), deleted any local changes,
created a new build directory, configured and built. I got
the same error about ffi_closure_SYSV_inner. I then
manually reran the link command without mention of ffi.o or
sysv.o. It linked fine but when I ran make again it
complained that _ctypes.so couldn't resolve
ffi_prep_closure. This symbol is defined in ffi.o, so it
appears either that ffi.c is needed in the source list or
maybe ffi64.c needs to be modified to provide it. As far as
I can tell it doesn't export any useful symbols:
$ nm -p

Correction: The option is '-mimpure-text', not '-impure-text'.
I've attached a new patch 'setup.py.patch' which allows to
build on the sourceforge solaris-x86 machine.

And, BTW, building the bz2 extension on the compile farm
solaris-x86 machine also fails with relocation errors (but I
have no idea if that is related to the _ctypes build failure
or not).

What I've found out, after some painful time on the
sourceforge compilefarm, is this:
Python svn trunk also fails to build _ctypes.so on the
solaris-x86 machine, but not on the sparc machines (both
have solaris 9, I believe).
ctypes from svn trunk *does* build also on the x86 machine,
with the system installed python2.3, also with python 2.5b2.
One difference that I found is that ctypes svn setup.py
passes '-impure-text' to the linker, while python svn (when
building the bundled ctypes) does not.

It seems that the files 'src/x86/ffi.c' and 'src/x86/sysv.S'
are not needed for the X86_64 platform in fficonfig.py.in.
They *should* compile to nothing, anyway, because their
contents is protected by 'ifndef __x86_64__'.
Does removing them from fficonfig.py.in change the
situation, so that only this remains:
'X86_64': ['src/x86/ffi64.c', 'src/x86/unix64.S'],
I can build _ctypes on an unbuntu amd64 system with this change.

I don't understand. I swapped the order of ffi.c and sysv.S
in the platforms dict. I confirmed that the order of the .o
files on the link line changed so that ffi.o followed
sysv.o. I still get the same error. I've also confirmed
that ffi.o exports the symbol and that sysv.o references it:

I added a couple prints to fficonfig.py.in to demonstrate
the file order and platform name (and to make sure
fficonfig.py was being rebuilt).
Oddly enough, if I remove both ffi.o and sysv.o from the
link line, it links successfully. Is that significant or am
I just getting desparate?

I didn't know there are any systems that depend on the order
of object files on the linker command line any more ;-).
IIUC, the objects list is derived by distutils from the
sources list, so the attached patch (for
Modules/_ctypes/libffi/fficonfig.py.in) *could* do the
trick. Please make sure that fficonfig.py is recreated (by
doing make clean before building or whatever).
Thanks for looking into this.

Thomas,
Sorry for the delay. I think I have it figured out and it
was fairly straightforward. Looking at the files in order
on the _ctypes.so link line we see that the definition of
ffi_closure_SYSV_inner is defined before it's referenced:

0000000000 U ffi_closure_SYSV_inner
Since we're linking from object files, it's a one-pass link
algorithm. At the time ffo.o is examined, sysv.o hasn't
been seen. Consequently, ffi_closure_SYSV_inner is not yet
known and its definition isn't picked up from ffi.o.
I couldn't quickly figure out where the link command is
generated, but I'm sure you'll know where it resides.
Either swap ffi.o and sysv.o on the link line, or add ffi.o
a second time to resolve the new reference.

Skip, do you have *any* idea what might be wrong, or could
you even come up with a patch?

Yeah, you'd definitely need -fPIC on any brand of Solaris. That test might be
changed to
plat = get_platform()
if plat in (... buncha platforms ...) or "solaris" in plat:
os.environ["CFLAGS"] = "-fPIC"
That doesn't seem to be what's happening in this case though. I rm'd the .o
files in .../Modules/_ctypes and tried again. The compile commands *do*
have -fPIC on them. I don't think it's required on the link line.

Skip,
This looks *somewhat* like the problems reported in bugs
1529269 and 1528620 (although they have a sparc, and you
seem to have x86 solaris).
Hm, in the standalone ctypes setup script, I find this code
snippet:
if get_platform() in ["solaris-2.9-sun4u", "linux-x86_64"]:
os.environ["CFLAGS"] = "-fPIC"
Can it be that -fPIC must be used, but is not specified?
It is also funny that the solaris buildbot does NOT seem to
have a problem.
