 Ref. [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513386

I think this could still be clearer about the user/sysadmin perspective
more than a developer perspective, i.e. present this more like both
gcc-4.7 and 4.8 installed with 4.7 being active than not
ABI-compatible with C++11 compiled with 4.8.

Here's my suggested draft:

-%- CUT HERE -%-
GCC 4.7 introduced the new experimental 2011 ISO C++ standard [1].

Users that wish to try enabling C++11 globally (e.g. using CXXFLAGS)
should exercise caution because it is not ABI-compatible with C++98.
Packages which are self-contained or do not link against any libraries
written in C++ are not affected. Note that some packages like
www-client/chromium and net-libs/webkit-gtk among others are already
using C++11 features.

Even having different versions of gcc installed simultaneously might
lead to problems, especially if the active version of gcc is older.
Please see [2] for example known bug with webkit-gtk. It is recommended
to set the latest installed version of gcc as active; some packages may
work when an older version is selected, but GCC upstream provides no
guarantees of C++11 ABI stability for code compiled with gcc-4.x and 4.y
for any x != y [3].

 undefined reference to `_ZNSt6chrono12steady_clock3nowEv@GLIBCXX_3.4.17'
 - This is a problem.  It relates to abi mismatching with libstdc++.

The ABI mismatch is due the library not being versioned properly as usual?

 The bug details how you can hit it in gentoo. Martin von Gagern pushed
 the issue upstream and pretty much got the answer we're on our own  So
 we'll have to deal with this as we go forward.
 Seehttps://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61758

Not sure if the llvm C++ runtime might help here or it is any better
than the one provided by gnu, but might be a good time to gather
volunteers to provide a mean to use clang as main compiler out of box.

Being on your own is not an answer I like to hear. Nor the whole
approach to the discussion.

 Not sure if the llvm C++ runtime might help here or it is any better
 than the one provided by gnu, but might be a good time to gather
 volunteers to provide a mean to use clang as main compiler out of box.

libc++ makes stricter ABI guarantees [1]. But from personal experience I
would not consider it a replacement for libstdc++ in the near future.

I have set up some lxc containers with clang/libc++ with promising
results (and I plan to keep up testing with it once in a while).

Best,

Probably we could join forces with FreeBSD to help pushing fixes to
applications upstream.

These functions are to be used for creating a log of QA violations in a

Stored in ${T]/qa.log, the log consists of one entry per line in the
following format: violation-tag data

Your patches look good to me, except that I think eqalog should escape
any \n characters that might be embedded in the arguments.

We might use something like this to escape all but the last \n character:

echo ${tag} ${x}| (escape= ; while read -r ; do echo -n 
${escape}${REPLY} ; escape=\\n; done ; echo )  ${T}/qa.log

Here's a test case showing that it works:

$ echo -e foo\nbar\nbaz| (escape= ; while read -r ; do echo -n 
${escape}${REPLY} ; escape=\\n; done ; echo )
foo\nbar\nbaz

Is it better to move them to isolated-functions and implement the above
changes then? I only put it in misc-functions since it's near
install_qa_check and I'm not too familiar with the file layout. :-)

Because the caller should not be concerned about the qa.log file format.
The fact that it's delimited by newlines is an implementation detail
that the caller need know nothing about. Escaping the new lines is
really not all that complex. All of the elog functions have similar

 any \n characters that might be embedded in the arguments.

 Why? That sounds like some unsafe fancy feature only one person would
 use. Embedding newlines in bash is trivial, why make them implicit with
 a lot of added complexity?

 Because the caller should not be concerned about the qa.log file format.
 The fact that it's delimited by newlines is an implementation detail
 that the caller need know nothing about. Escaping the new lines is
 really not all that complex. All of the elog functions have similar
 handling for newlines.
 
 Oh, you mean converting from newlines to \n escapes? I thought
 the opposite way, sorry then.

Right, that's what my sample code does.

[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] bin/bashrc-functions.sh: remove portageq function

2014-10-25 Thread Zac Medico
Since commit 0cc4c1ac21a2ea94cfb1f6ff4b461a9e349d47df,
$PORTAGE_BIN_PATH/portageq no longer exists, which breaks the portageq
shell function inside bashrc-functions.sh. Note that
$PORTAGE_BIN_PATH/ebuild-helpers/portageq is in $PATH, so we can simply
remove the redundant function.

Fixes: 0cc4c1a (Install Portage using setup.py)
