 Cannot build shared library from xerces-c 3.0.1 on AIX6.1 with xlC V10.1
 

 Key: XERCESC-1904
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1904
 Project: Xerces-C++
  Issue Type: Bug
  Components: Build
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
 Environment: OS : AIX 6.1 TL3 SP1
 Compiler: IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, V10.1
Reporter: Gauthier Helin
Priority: Blocker
 Attachments: config.log, config.log_3.1.0


 Hello,
 I cannot build the xerces 3.0.1 shared library on AIX 6.1 with xlC 10.1. It 
 always produce the static library even if I specify --enable-shared=yes.
 I tried may different ./configure and gmake options without any success.
 here is some output of the ./configure which shows that it thinks that the 
 linker does not support shared libs :
 checking if xlc_r supports -c -o file.o... yes
 checking whether the xlc_r linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... 
 no
 checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
 checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... unsupported
 checking whether stripping libraries is possible... no
 checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
 checking whether to build shared libraries... no
 checking whether to build static libraries... yes
 configure: creating libtool
 appending configuration tag CXX to libtool
 checking whether the xlC_r linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... 
 no
 checking for xlC_r option to produce PIC... 
 checking if xlC_r static flag  works... yes
 checking if xlC_r supports -c -o file.o... yes
 checking whether the xlC_r linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... 
 no
 checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
 (cached) (cached) checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... 
 unsupported
 appending configuration tag F77 to libtool
 checking whether xlc_r and cc understand -c and -o together... yes
 the command line used was :
 ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX CXX=xlC_r CC=xlc_r --enable-shared=yes
 gmake libxerces_c_la_LDFLAGS=-qmkshrobj
 This was working fine on AIX 5.3 with xlC 7
 Thanks a lot for any help.

It works better with the 3.1.0.rc1 version... it now accepts to build a shared 
library


checking if xlc_r PIC flag  -DPIC works... yes
checking if xlc_r static flag -bnso -bI:/lib/syscalls.exp works... no
checking if xlc_r supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking if xlc_r supports -c -o file.o... (cached) yes
checking whether the xlc_r linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... aix6.1.3.0 ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... no
checking whether the xlC_r linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking for xlC_r option to produce PIC...  -DPIC
checking if xlC_r PIC flag  -DPIC works... yes
checking if xlC_r static flag -bnso -bI:/lib/syscalls.exp works... no
checking if xlC_r supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking if xlC_r supports -c -o file.o... (cached) yes

After a quick look at the files present in the config directory, I found what 
could be the root cause of my issue.
The config.guess file only support AIX 4 and 5 while searching for the CPU 
type. Instead of finding a POWER6 based CPU, it falls back on rs6000.
If you go to line 555 in config.guess you can see : 

*:AIX:*:[45])

and if you turn this line into 

*:AIX:*:[456])

as in the config.guess for 3.1.0.rc1, it works fine also and I'm able to build 
a shared library ;-)

Could you provide me an Official statement on the changes I have to do in the 
xerces 3.0.1 version I have to make it build on my setup ?

I now have anther question. Why is the Optimizer turned off during a xerces 
build ? Is it expected ? 
From the test I've done, there a performance gain of a factor 3 when using -O2 
to build. I just ran into an issue with the xlC 10.1 optimiser which produce a 
core dump (SIGSEGV). Crash occurs in the DOMDocumentImpl.hpp:384

  *pspe = spe = (DOMStringPoolEntry *)allocate(sizeToAllocate);

To fix the issue I used the following compiler option : -qalias=noansi (it has 
to do with optimizer behavior with pointer aliasing)

Thanks for your help

Best Regards,
Gauthier

To fix 3.0.1 you will need to install a fairly recent versions of autotools 
(automake, autoconf, and libtool) and run  the reconf script in the root 
directory of the Xerces-C++ distribution (you can do it on a machine other than 
your AIX box). 

Regarding optimization, I am not sure what is the default debug/optimize 
setting for XLC in autotools. I know for g++ it is -g -O2. But you can always 
override this on the configure command line:

./configure CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2

I tend to think that the core dump with optimization enabled is a bug in XLC.
