I manually removed the tee from the validate script, and sallied on.
Here's the next error.

Re: RE: More windows woe

2013-09-04 Thread Edward Z. Yang
I've gotten GHC to build on Windows, but the test suite is finicky. Here
is an error I am getting:

=> T5267(normal) 50 of 3724 [0, 0, 0]   
  
cd ./arrows/should_compile && 
'c:/Users/ezyang/Dev/ghc-validate/bindisttest/install   dir/bin/ghc.exe'
 -fforce-recomp -dcore-lint -dcmm-lint -dno-debug-output -no-user-package-db 
-rtsopts -fno-ghci-histor
y -c T5267.hs>T5267.comp.stderr 2>&1
  
Compile failed (status 256) errors were:
  

  
T5267.hs:11:15: 
  
tee: standard output: Permission denied  

It consistently fails on this test, and when I look at the process
list I see:

I103215481548   4064  con  500 14:54:08 /usr/bin/tee

I was seeing something similar when I used parallel make, apparently
there is a known deadlock when running make -j2 (or higher). But I
don't know why tee would be deadlocking.

Re: RE: More windows woe

2013-09-04 Thread naur
Hello cvs-devs,

On a relatively recent Linux, man sprintf says "S [conversion specifier] (Not 
in C99, but in SUSv2.) Synonym for ls. Don't use.", so perhaps "%ls" is better 
than "%S".

Best regards
Thorkil

Yep, it's string concatenation, and it's ANSI C as per 5.1.1.2.  We use this
idiom in other parts of the RTS.

RE: RE: More windows woe

2013-09-04 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
 IF_DEBUG(linker, debugBelch("Checking whether to unload " FMT_PATH "\n",

doesn't that expand to 

 IF_DEBUG(linker, debugBelch("Checking whether to unload " "%S" "\n",

What does the C compiler make of three strings in a row?  Does it automatically 
concatenate them? Is that ANSI C?

Simon Marlow: please help!
At the moment windows builds are hosed, which is a Bad Situation.

Actually it turns out that what want is

   debugBelch("Checking whether to unload %S\n", oc->fileName));

That is, use "%S" rather than "%s" as format specifier for wide chars.

Sadly, this works on Windows, but not on Linux:
rts/CheckUnload.c:260:13:
  error: format ?%S? expects argument of type ?wchar_t *?, but argument 2 
has type ?pathchar *? [-Werror=format]


So what I need guidance on, please!, is what the approved way to deal with this 
is.  I suppose that I could identify each use of %s on a filepath and say

#ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS
   debugBelch("Checking whether to unload %S\n", oc->fileName));
#else
   debugBelch("Checking whether to unload %s\n", oc->fileName));
#endif

But that seems deeply unsatisfactory doesn't it?

If not that, then what?

Similar code is in place to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit StgWords:

> grep -r -e FMT_Word includes/
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word32"u"
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word32"lu"
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word64"lu"
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word64"llu"
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word FMT_Word64
includes/stg/Types.h:#define FMT_Word FMT_Word32

and format strings like "blabla " FMT_Word " ..blabla" are used inside 
rts/. One could do the same for FMT_Path and introduce it where required.


Maybe this would be acceptable?
