[Axiom-developer] Broken hypertex

[Waldek Hebisch]

Playing with build-improvements I have noticed that hypertex is broken:
clicking on "NAG link" and then on "Browser pages for individual routines"
freezes hypertex windows and gives the following error message at
Unexpected end of #<string-input stream from " ...">.

I have tracked down the error to src/interp/server.boot.pamphlet. In
the function serverReadLine we have:

....
action = $LispCommand =>
$NeedToSignalSessionManager := true
stringBuf := MAKE_-STRING $sockBufferLength
sockGetString($MenuServer, stringBuf, $sockBufferLength)
form := unescapeStringsInForm READ_-FROM_-STRING stringBuf
protectedEVAL form
....

After return from sockGetString content of stringBuf is all spaces,
and READ-FROM-STRING can not find anything to read and signals error.

I have put diagnostic printout in the function get_string_buf (in
src/lib/sockio-c.c.pamphlet) and from that I see that get_string_buf
is called and gets correct data. So the problem seem to be in
gcl foreign function interface.

I have seen this behaviour on two different machines, one 32-bit Athlon,
another 64-bit Athlon, both using gcl bundled with Axiom.

Is that reproducible with silver?

Probably no: when I tried build-improvements with gcl-2.6.7 the problem
went away.

Interesting.

We have a case to investigate. I seem to remember, but I'm not sure,
that the socket interface may have changed from 2.6.7 to 2.6.8pre.

First, do you have installed (make install) Axiom ? If no (or may be
yes, I have never tested), there are two files named util.ht in the
sources, Tim is working on them, try the twos (try the other one i.e.
copy it to /mnt/something*, the diff and find programs will help you).
Personally I don't remember which I use but not the "regular one" since
I do not install Axiom. If this mail is unrelated to your issue after
these tests or if you do not understand it, forget this mail and sorry
for the inconvenience.

So with my version of Gold (the last)
"

BOOT>si::*gcl-extra-version*

8

~> it's gcl-2.6.8

The output of « "NAG link" and then on "Browser pages for individual
routines" » is

There is no constructor matching pattern "Nag*"


I have this output with Axiom Version: Axiom 3.0 Beta (February 2005)
too. It comes from a "Debian stable" package (with a little modification
(see the end of http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AxiomBinaries)). Camm
can you look at this issue (forget the wiki bug), I did not report this
as a bug on the BTS, it seems to me that I'm alone. I can report it if
you can reproduce it.

I can understand what it is like. When I was in France [and young :-)]
I tend to work very late, almost in the central timezone. Now that
I'm in central timezone, I feel like I work in western Europe
timezone, except when I don't because of daytime job :-)

Interesting.
We have a case to investigate. I seem to remember, but I'm not sure,
that the socket interface may have changed from 2.6.7 to 2.6.8pre.
Bill?

As I wrote in original message the problem seem to be with passing
strings from Lisp to C functions. AFAICS sockio.lisp.pamphlet
assumes that it will pass pointer to original string buffer. But
apparently gcl passes pointer to a copy. Code to pass strings
(in lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/o/cmpaux.c) changed slightly compared to
gcl-2.6.7, so maybe this is the reason.

I understand your description. I was trying to relate it to a much
bigger picture. I was asking Bill whether that is the incompatible
changes in GCL-2.6.8pre's socket stuff he told me about at the last Axiom
conference call.

It is important that as we work on "fixing" things, we do clearly
understand what we are fixing.

This I consider as "normal" output. For me the browser just freezes.
I should add that I chose this page because it is the shortest path
to freeze the browser -- I can freeze it an another pages (which
in earlier versions work fine).

Investigating further I have noticed that gcl-2.6.8pre2 in silver is
different then gcl-2.6.8pre in build improvements. In particular
the function object_to_string in gcl-2.6.8pre2/o/cmpaux.c is like
gcl-2.6.7 while the version in gcl-2.6.8pre is different.

To summarize: both gcl-2.6.7 and gcl-2.6.8pre2 pass address of actual
data (which is what Axiom expects), gcl-2.6.8pre in build-improvements
copies strings and passes address of the copy (which breaks hypertex
interface). When I change object_to_string in gcl-2.6.8pre to match
that of gcl-2.6.7 (or gcl-2.6.8pre2) hypertex works.

Since gcl-2.6.8pre2 seem to be latest gcl version Camm can probably
just do nothing (just remember so that problem is not re-introduced
later).

Concerning build-improvements: I can use gcl-2.6.7 when testing hypertex.

That is interesting.
gcl-2.6.8pre in build-improvements was updated on September 17, 2006
to reflect what was in GCL cvs tree at the time.

I don't know when gcl-2.6.8pre2 was made.

Aha; so the faulty change in gcl-2.6.8pre is much more recent.

No, GCL included in build-improvements is more recent than

checked out today and in gcl-2.7 (cvs HEAD).

Greetings, and thanks for the report! Typeo should be gone now in
both branches.

Just wanted to note that the only way you can guarantee that you don't
get a copy out of object_to_string is to write a null character at the
end of the lisp string body yourself, as there is extra room only in
special circumstances.

Take care,

The change in the socket interface is due only to the better
treatment of data types in 2.6.8pre and should not be the
source of any functional changes.

That is good to know; thanks!

I checked Gold's version of gcl-2.6.7, gcl-2.6.8pre, and gcl-2.6.8pre2

I'm not sure what version of gcl-2.6.8pre you're using.

GCL CVS. (Camm kindly welcomed me on te GCL project.)
So I have (separate) copies, up-to-date, of gcl-2.6.8pre, gcl-2.7
(trunk).

Since gcl-2.6.8pre2 seem to be latest gcl version Camm can probably
just do nothing (just remember so that problem is not re-introduced
later).

No, GCL included in build-improvements is more recent than
gcl-2.6.8pre2. The code that you describe is in gcl-2.6.8pre just
checked out today and in gcl-2.7 (cvs HEAD).

Yes, the names fooled me.

The problem is that Axiom is running fairly close to the CVS HEAD
version of GCL but there is no way to distinguish exactly which
checkout will work on which platform and contains which errors.

This problem is highlighted on the Fedora 5 build which will not
run on gcl-2.6.8pre2 and requires a prior version. Since I was
unable to distinguish the two checkouts automatically there are
two snapshots in the zips directory.

Camm,

I have succeeded in compiling gcl-2.6.8pre on MAC OSX 10.2 on the
SourceForge compile farm 'ppc-osx3' server, however some patches
were necessary. This machine has Xcode installed by not Fink.

First, I checked out gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs on October 15, 2006,
created a tarball and scp'd it and the standard gnu gettext-0.15
and sed-4.1.4 tarballs to my home directory on SourceForge.

Next I compiled and installed gettext and sed with
--prefix=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx
creating the ~/osx/bin and ~/osx/lib directories. These are
apparently required to satisfy the gcl build dependencies on
OSX 10.2. (Note: A Fink installation might also have provided
these in the /sw directory.)

Then I added:

export PATH=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/bin:$PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export CPPFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp"
cd osx

to ~/.profile so that after re-login the environment was set
appropriately.

I untarred gcl into the osx directory creating ~/osx/gcl-2.6.8pre
Then I applied the following patches (most of which have been
previously reported on the gcl email list by other people):

Bill,

Are you able to do save-system in gcl on OSX?
That's my current limitation.

t

[root]

i have gcl-2.6.8pre2 running but cannot do save-system
i have rebuilt the makefiles so the bootsys and depsys
steps are run in a clean gcl rather than saving an image.
i'm working on getting interpsys to build.
a gcl version that can do save-system would short-circuit the effort
and allow me to get the system running.

i read your patches and it appears that at least one of them might
solve the problem.

unfortunately i have a 3 day meeting in work starting this morning
but i'll try to get your patches applied by this weekend.

I thought that gettext was no longer required, as it was included in
the local bfd build (from configure.in:)

cd binutils/bfd && chmod +x configure && ./configure --with-included-gettext && cd ../..

We do need sed. I guess OSX has none, or it is incompatible?

Is Fink so non-standard that it must be avoided? What is the
canonical way to get gnu software on OSX?

Greetings, and thanks!

Should we make makeinfo a build dependency of GCL? We cannot generate
any documentation without it. I.e. we can

1) silently skip documentation when makeinfo is absent

or

2) bomb if it is not found in configure.

Take care,

Thanks for the quick fix.

Now, the build progressed further but still I hit a regression when I
try to install it in a specifc location (it worked with earlier versions):

make[4]: [gcl-si.info] Error 1 (ignored)
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/gdr/build/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/info'
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/gdr/build/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/info'
mkdir -p /usr/share/info/
[ -f /usr/share/info/dir ] || touch /usr/share/info/dir
grep gcl-si /usr/share/info/dir >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
echo "* GCL Doc: (gcl-si.info). GNU Common Lisp specific Documentation." >> /usr/share/info/dir
/bin/sh: /usr/share/info/dir: Permission denied
make[4]: *** [install] Error 1

My preliminary analysis is that GCL is insisting to install info files
in a directory (/usr/share/info) which is not part of what is
specified as --prefix and on which I do not have a write permission
(and even if I had a write permission, it would still be wrong).

I don't think I would be able to provide a fix right now as I have to
watch a sick baby.

In configure.in, GCL as a machinery to check for where to install the
info files. With a default value as $prefix/share/info. That is perfect.
However, down the road, GCL changes its mind and wanted to know
whether /usr/share/info/dir exits, and if it does then it would install the
info files there. That is not right.

if test -f "${INFO_DIR}dir" ; then true;else

I'll be checking in a patch that removes that.

Are you able to do save-system in gcl on OSX?
That's my current limitation.

Yes. The following sequence works:

gcl
(si:save-system "whatever")
(quit)
./whatever
(+ 1 1)

Can you suggest a more significant test?

why did you need gettext and sed? i've grabbed tarballs of both,
saved your instructions, and will try to follow your lead on
this.

The gcl build needs gnu msgfmt and libintl from gettext since at
least some part of gcl (binutils and debian) trys to provide
localized messages. On your system you might find this in the
/sw directory if you've previously installed Fink. But I wanted
to avoid that.

On the OSX 10.2 system I am using at SourceForge, the 'sed' editor
is quite old and complained about some of the sed scripts in the
gcl build, so I just locally replaced it with the new version.
This might not be a problem on newer releases of OSX. (10.8 just
released?)

The critical thing was really the patch to o/unexmacosx.c. This
part of gcl is borrowed from emacs but it is based on a version
of emacs that is now quite old. I started by trying to use a newer
version of unexmacosx.c from the emacs source distribution, but the
gcl-specific modifications were beyond my level of understanding.
In the end I opted to backport just the minimum changes that allowed
the old version to compile. But I wouldn't be too surprized if this
was broken again in newer releases of OSX.

Have you tried downloading and running the binary that I posted
in an earlier message?

I have succeeded in compiling gcl-2.6.8pre on MAC OSX 10.2 on the
SourceForge compile farm 'ppc-osx3' server, however some patches
were necessary. This machine has Xcode installed by not Fink.
First, I checked out gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs on October 15, 2006,
created a tarball and scp'd it and the standard gnu gettext-0.15
and sed-4.1.4 tarballs to my home directory on SourceForge.
Next I compiled and installed gettext and sed with
--prefix=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx
creating the ~/osx/bin and ~/osx/lib directories. These are
apparently required to satisfy the gcl build dependencies on
OSX 10.2. (Note: A Fink installation might also have provided
these in the /sw directory.)

I thought that gettext was no longer required, as it was included
in the local bfd build (from configure.in:)
cd binutils/bfd && chmod +x configure && ./configure
--with-included-gettext && cd ../..

If I remove my local osx/bin from the PATH and try again I get
the error message "msgfmt: command not found" shown below.

gcl-2.6.8pre/binutils/bfd/config.log confirms:

Invocation command line was

$ ./configure --with-included-gettext

But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make
use of the included gettext. Maybe this is a binutils bug?

We do need sed. I guess OSX has none, or it is incompatible?

This OSX 10.2 has an old sed that is not compatible.

Is Fink so non-standard that it must be avoided? What is
the canonical way to get gnu software on OSX?

I don't know. This SourceForge server is the closest I have
ever been to a MAC and it's probably a few thousand miles
away from here... :-) But I have heard that many people would
like to try to avoid installing "foreign" package systems like
Fink.

OK. This is quite ugly, but its a hack to begin with. Suggestions
most welcome.

I only vaguely understand what this is doing but 'restFP' and
'saveFP' are not removed from this list than the compile complains
about "function symbols" not used in a function ... or something
like that. The other names make sense to me. For example:

MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
...

which derive from the implementation of getc(f) and putc(ch,f).
But see later in the message - I apparently have a problem with
__srget.

Yes, it looks pretty ugly but maybe it is needed just a little

Thanks again! Will post when something is checked in.

Thank you. I look forward to a finally finalized 2.6.8. The
evoluton of 2.6.8pre is causing us a little consternaton in
the current Axiom source distribution... :-)

Post by Camm Maguire
BTW, I'm pushing 2.6.8 (in the guise of 2.6.7) and all the apps
through the Debian autobuilder system before releasing 2.6.8.
Please let me know of any other 2.6.8 issues you may be
encountering in your axiom work asap. Bug fix only at this
point, of course.

Hmmmm... well I do currently have a problem with the Axiom build.
After successfully building bootsys and depsys the build fails
building interpsys with the following message:

---------

Something is strange about thid symbol "___srget" with the 3
underscore characters, I think??? The name "__srget" with 2
underscore characters is properly defined in /usr/include/stdio.h

I don't understand what is going on here.

Also prior to compiling depsys, bootsys was already successfully
created however it did have one oddity. The original Axiom load
commands like ')load postpar' run during building depsys fails
with an error message like "'postpar.8' does not exist" (Yes, that's
the digit 8 after the dot.). If I change the command to include the
.o like this: ')load postpar.o' everything seems fine and depsys
is built.

bootsys itself is actually built form a copy of gcl called 'lisp'
that is created using compiler::link. The 'lisp' image includes
several Axiom specific external routines. I.e.

echo '(compiler::link nil

If I intervene and make Axiom use the original 'saved_gcl' to build
'bootsys' instead of using 'lisp', then the 'postpar.8' problem does
not occur and gcl finds the .o files anyway, as expected.

This makes me suspicious that something subtle may be wrong with
the output of 'compiler:link'. The size of the result images also
seem curious:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 18362444 Oct 17 19:08 saved_gcl
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 13072984 Oct 18 04:01 lisp

-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 49588824 Oct 18 03:10 depsys

Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.

A test image of gcl created by

$ gcl
(si:save-system "test-image")
(quit)

is actually *larger* than the original saved_gcl.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 23699532 Oct 18 11:07 test-image

Are all these problems related?

Any thing you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

I have succeeded in compiling gcl-2.6.8pre on MAC OSX 10.2 on the
SourceForge compile farm 'ppc-osx3' server, however some patches
were necessary. This machine has Xcode installed by not Fink.
First, I checked out gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs on October 15, 2006,
created a tarball and scp'd it and the standard gnu gettext-0.15
and sed-4.1.4 tarballs to my home directory on SourceForge.
Next I compiled and installed gettext and sed with
--prefix=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx
creating the ~/osx/bin and ~/osx/lib directories. These are
apparently required to satisfy the gcl build dependencies on
OSX 10.2. (Note: A Fink installation might also have provided
these in the /sw directory.)

I thought that gettext was no longer required, as it was included
in the local bfd build (from configure.in:)
cd binutils/bfd && chmod +x configure && ./configure
--with-included-gettext && cd ../..

If I remove my local osx/bin from the PATH and try again I get
the error message "msgfmt: command not found" shown below.

Sigh. I suppose reconfigured here? The binutils configure scripts do
look for msgfmt. I'm surprised they don't step around a missing one,
or at least bomb. What does your binutils configure output say in
this regard?

Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --with-included-gettext
But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make
use of the included gettext. Maybe this is a binutils bug?

Is Fink so non-standard that it must be avoided? What is
the canonical way to get gnu software on OSX?

I don't know. This SourceForge server is the closest I have
ever been to a MAC and it's probably a few thousand miles
away from here... :-) But I have heard that many people would
like to try to avoid installing "foreign" package systems like
Fink.

OK. This is quite ugly, but its a hack to begin with. Suggestions

I only vaguely understand what this is doing but 'restFP' and
'saveFP' are not removed from this list than the compile complains
about "function symbols" not used in a function ... or something
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),

which derive from the implementation of getc(f) and putc(ch,f).
But see later in the message - I apparently have a problem with

There is a notorious platform specific _ name mangling issue here.

Thanks again! Will post when something is checked in.

Thank you. I look forward to a finally finalized 2.6.8. The
evoluton of 2.6.8pre is causing us a little consternaton in
the current Axiom source distribution... :-)

My apologies. So many moving parts. I have to get everything synched
on one image, however, if we want these apps in Etch. And there have
been so many gcc et. al. issues.

BTW, are we not updating

http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/DOWNLOADS/

anymore? Is there a latest official tarball somewhere for Etch (eta
this December)? Having a simple webpage with the filenames in some
sort of alphabetical/cronological sort order lets me automatically
know when the Debian package needs updating.

BTW, I'm pushing 2.6.8 (in the guise of 2.6.7) and all the apps

encountering in your axiom work asap. Bug fix only at this
point, of course.

Something is strange about thid symbol "___srget" with the 3

underscore characters is properly defined in /usr/include/stdio.h
I don't understand what is going on here.

OK, your linker is prepending an underscore, and apparently
LEADING_UNDERSCORE was improperly set. Could you investigate? There
may also be a C compiler switch for this. Is this gcc?

Post by Page, Bill
Also prior to compiling depsys, bootsys was already successfully
created however it did have one oddity. The original Axiom load
commands like ')load postpar' run during building depsys fails
with an error message like "'postpar.8' does not exist" (Yes, that's
the digit 8 after the dot.). If I change the command to include the
.o like this: ')load postpar.o' everything seems fine and depsys
is built.
bootsys itself is actually built form a copy of gcl called 'lisp'
that is created using compiler::link. The 'lisp' image includes
several Axiom specific external routines. I.e.
echo '(compiler::link nil
"/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/build/powerpc-ap

compiler::link should be no smaller than saved_gcl. The raw files are
explicitly deleted as named and output by gcc -- the .tmp extension
appears non-std and might be expected to persist.

I'd make two images, one with

(si::save-system "foo")

and the other with

(compiler::link nil "bar")

And then in each, do a few tests, including looking at
si::*load-types*.


Lastly, you all in the axiom world might like to know that I'm about
to release an HOL88 Debian package build atop GCL. In addition to
providing an alternate theorem proving environment, one also has the
ML language built into the same image for potential use by axiom.
More on this later.

I have succeeded in compiling gcl-2.6.8pre on MAC OSX 10.2 on the
SourceForge compile farm 'ppc-osx3' server, however some patches
were necessary. This machine has Xcode installed by not Fink.
First, I checked out gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs on October 15, 2006,
created a tarball and scp'd it and the standard gnu gettext-0.15
and sed-4.1.4 tarballs to my home directory on SourceForge.
Next I compiled and installed gettext and sed with
--prefix=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx
creating the ~/osx/bin and ~/osx/lib directories. These are
apparently required to satisfy the gcl build dependencies on
OSX 10.2. (Note: A Fink installation might also have provided
these in the /sw directory.)

I thought that gettext was no longer required, as it was included
in the local bfd build (from configure.in:)
cd binutils/bfd && chmod +x configure && ./configure
--with-included-gettext && cd ../..

If I remove my local osx/bin from the PATH and try again I get

Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --with-included-gettext
But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make
use of the included gettext. Maybe this is a binutils bug?

We do need sed. I guess OSX has none, or it is incompatible?

This OSX 10.2 has an old sed that is not compatible.

Is Fink so non-standard that it must be avoided? What is
the canonical way to get gnu software on OSX?

I don't know. This SourceForge server is the closest I have
ever been to a MAC and it's probably a few thousand miles
away from here... :-) But I have heard that many people would
like to try to avoid installing "foreign" package systems like
Fink.

OK. This is quite ugly, but its a hack to begin with. Suggestions

I only vaguely understand what this is doing but 'restFP' and
'saveFP' are not removed from this list than the compile complains
about "function symbols" not used in a function ... or something
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),

But see later in the message - I apparently have a problem with

May I suggest we also lose the diagnostic output on save-system

Yes, it looks pretty ugly but maybe it is needed just a little

I don't understand what is going on here.
Also prior to compiling depsys, bootsys was already successfully
created however it did have one oddity. The original Axiom load
commands like ')load postpar' run during building depsys fails
with an error message like "'postpar.8' does not exist" (Yes, that's
the digit 8 after the dot.). If I change the command to include the
.o like this: ')load postpar.o' everything seems fine and depsys
is built.
bootsys itself is actually built form a copy of gcl called 'lisp'
that is created using compiler::link. The 'lisp' image includes
several Axiom specific external routines. I.e.
echo '(compiler::link nil

If I intervene and make Axiom use the original 'saved_gcl' to build
'bootsys' instead of using 'lisp', then the 'postpar.8' problem does
not occur and gcl finds the .o files anyway, as expected.
This makes me suspicious that something subtle may be wrong with
the output of 'compiler:link'. The size of the result images also

Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.
A test image of gcl created by
$ gcl
(si:save-system "test-image")
(quit)
is actually *larger* than the original saved_gcl.

Are all these problems related?
Any thing you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make

When I looked further in this log file it showed that inspite of
--with-included-gettext, the configure script also found the msgfmt
in my local bin directory. I didn't understand this so I tried to
reproduce the result but first I removed all the gettext and msgfmt
from by local bin, but left it in the path in order to use the
replacement for sed.

When I re-ran the gcl build it ran properly to completion without
any error. Hmmmm... don't know. Can't reproduce. So scrap this one.
Must have been my mistake.

Thank you. I look forward to a finally finalized 2.6.8. The
evoluton of 2.6.8pre is causing us a little consternaton in
the current Axiom source distribution... :-)

My apologies. So many moving parts. I have to get everything synched
on one image, however, if we want these apps in Etch. And there have
been so many gcc et. al. issues.
BTW, are we not updating
http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/DOWNLOADS/
anymore? Is there a latest official tarball somewhere for Etch (eta
this December)? Having a simple webpage with the filenames in some
sort of alphabetical/cronological sort order lets me automatically
know when the Debian package needs updating.

One no one has been created any new tarballs lately. The latest version
in Axiom Gold is patch-50 but I don't think Tim created a tarball when
he release the patch. :-(

Something is strange about thid symbol "___srget" with the 3
underscore characters, I think??? The name "__srget" with 2
underscore characters is properly defined in /usr/include/stdio.h
I don't understand what is going on here.

OK, your linker is prepending an underscore, and apparently
LEADING_UNDERSCORE was improperly set. Could you investigate?

I tried to track this down. LEADING_UNDERSCORE is set to 1, which
seems to be correct when I use nm to look at the symbols in the
test file compiled by the gcl configure script. The raw symbol
"___srget" does have 3 underscores (two in the original name), and
cos appears as "_cos" etc. Everything works fine during the Axiom
build for quite a while (up to the start of the building interpsys)
until the

Error: Undefined symbol "___srget"

message appears. I would have presumed that this symbol would have
been needed long before this failure occured. I rather suspsect that
this error is a consequence of some deeper but silent problem, e.g.
failed compiler::link?

There may also be a C compiler switch for this. Is this gcc?

Yes it is

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

What sort of switch? How/when should I set it?

Post by Page, Bill
If I intervene and make Axiom use the original 'saved_gcl' to build
'bootsys' instead of using 'lisp', then the 'postpar.8' problem does
not occur and gcl finds the .o files anyway, as expected.
This makes me suspicious that something subtle may be wrong with
the output of 'compiler:link'. The size of the result images also
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 18362444 Oct 17 19:08 saved_gcl
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 13072984 Oct 18 04:01 lisp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 19159640 Oct 18 04:01 bootsys
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 7719512 Oct 18 04:01 raw_lisp.tmp

-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 49588824 Oct 18 03:10 depsys
Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.
A test image of gcl created by
$ gcl
(si:save-system "test-image")
(quit)
is actually *larger* than the original saved_gcl.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 23699532 Oct 18 11:07 test-image
Are all these problems related?
Any thing you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

I also suspect compiler::link failure. It is also odd that
save-system images are so much bigger. Here is the tiny difference on
ls -l /usr/lib/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/saved_gcl

Temporary directory for compiler files set to /tmp/

Post by Page, Bill
(si::save-system "/tmp/ff")

ls -l /tmp/ff
-rwxr-x--- 1 camm camm 9333267 Oct 18 16:25 /tmp/ff
compiler::link should be no smaller than saved_gcl. The raw files are
explicitly deleted as named and output by gcc -- the .tmp extension
appears non-std and might be expected to persist.
I'd make two images, one with
(si::save-system "foo")
and the other with
(compiler::link nil "bar")
And then in each, do a few tests, including looking at
si::*load-types*.

Ok, here are the result of your suggested tests below:

--------------

ppc-osx3:~/osx/axiom.build-improvements $ echo '(si::save-system "foo")' |
gcl > foo.log
ppc-osx3:~/osx/axiom.build-improvements $ echo '(compiler::link nil "bar")'
| gcl > bar.log
ppc-osx3:~/osx/axiom.build-improvements $ ls -l foo bar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 13029844 Oct 21 15:06 bar

Besides the difference in size in the images, I don't see any
other visible problems. Does the output from the save-system
and compiler::link help? I have no idea what it should look
like.

Lastly, you all in the axiom world might like to know that I'm about
to release an HOL88 Debian package build atop GCL. In addition to
providing an alternate theorem proving environment, one also has the
ML language built into the same image for potential use by axiom.
More on this later.

That sounds very interesting.

I think we need to move this part of the message to a more conspicuous
place. :-)

Thanks.

Camm,

Greetings! Just checking that my last message hee was not lost.

I was a bit confused because the message that you quote below is
my reply to you not your last message. :-) But anyway I presume you

Yes, thanks!

Sigh. I suppose reconfigured here? The binutils configure scripts
do look for msgfmt. I'm surprised they don't step around a missing
one, or at least bomb. What does your binutils configure output say
in this regard?

I am not sure what you are asking. I showed out the partial output
from gcl-2.6.8pre/binutils/bfd/config.log below.

Post by Page, Bill
---------
Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --with-included-gettext
But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make
use of the included gettext. Maybe this is a binutils bug?

When I looked further in this log file it showed that inspite of
--with-included-gettext, the configure script also found the msgfmt
in my local bin directory. I didn't understand this so I tried to
reproduce the result but first I removed all the gettext and msgfmt
from by local bin, but left it in the path in order to use the
replacement for sed.
When I re-ran the gcl build it ran properly to completion without
any error. Hmmmm... don't know. Can't reproduce. So scrap this one.
Must have been my mistake.

OK great! But Gaby's suggestion of --disable-nls might also work --
to pressed for time to get this in unless it is really needed.

Thank you. I look forward to a finally finalized 2.6.8. The
evoluton of 2.6.8pre is causing us a little consternaton in
the current Axiom source distribution... :-)

My apologies. So many moving parts. I have to get everything synched
on one image, however, if we want these apps in Etch. And there have
been so many gcc et. al. issues.
BTW, are we not updating
http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/DOWNLOADS/
anymore? Is there a latest official tarball somewhere for Etch (eta
this December)? Having a simple webpage with the filenames in some
sort of alphabetical/cronological sort order lets me automatically
know when the Debian package needs updating.

One no one has been created any new tarballs lately. The latest version
in Axiom Gold is patch-50 but I don't think Tim created a tarball when
he release the patch. :-(

OK. As you might know, Debian is trying to release Etch in December.
I'm skeptical, but we need to be ready. I need to get all the gcl
packages in their current state back into testing as they were thrown
out due to a transient gcc on some platforms (it appears). There
might be time for another source update if everything goes smoothly.

Something is strange about thid symbol "___srget" with the 3
underscore characters, I think??? The name "__srget" with 2
underscore characters is properly defined in /usr/include/stdio.h
I don't understand what is going on here.

OK, your linker is prepending an underscore, and apparently
LEADING_UNDERSCORE was improperly set. Could you investigate?

I tried to track this down. LEADING_UNDERSCORE is set to 1, which
seems to be correct when I use nm to look at the symbols in the
test file compiled by the gcl configure script. The raw symbol
"___srget" does have 3 underscores (two in the original name), and
cos appears as "_cos" etc. Everything works fine during the Axiom
build for quite a while (up to the start of the building interpsys)
until the
Error: Undefined symbol "___srget"
message appears. I would have presumed that this symbol would have
been needed long before this failure occured. I rather suspsect that
this error is a consequence of some deeper but silent problem, e.g.
failed compiler::link?

OK here is a simple test (asusming this symbol comes from getc() on
the mac:

foo.l:
(defun foo nil (with-open-file (s "/tmp/foo") (read-byte s)))

gcl

Post by Bill Page
(compile-file "foo.l")
(load "foo.o")
(bye)

nm foo.o |grep srget

Post by Bill Page

There may also be a C compiler switch for this. Is this gcc?

Yes it is
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
What sort of switch? How/when should I set it?

Lets try the above first.

Also prior to compiling depsys, bootsys was already successfully
created however it did have one oddity. The original Axiom load
commands like ')load postpar' run during building depsys fails
with an error message like "'postpar.8' does not exist" (Yes, that's
the digit 8 after the dot.). If I change the command to include the
.o like this: ')load postpar.o' everything seems fine and depsys
is built.
bootsys itself is actually built form a copy of gcl called 'lisp'
that is created using compiler::link. The 'lisp' image includes
several Axiom specific external routines. I.e.
echo '(compiler::link nil

If I intervene and make Axiom use the original 'saved_gcl' to build
'bootsys' instead of using 'lisp', then the 'postpar.8' problem does
not occur and gcl finds the .o files anyway, as expected.
This makes me suspicious that something subtle may be wrong with
the output of 'compiler:link'. The size of the result images also

Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.
A test image of gcl created by
$ gcl
(si:save-system "test-image")
(quit)
is actually *larger* than the original saved_gcl.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 23699532 Oct 18 11:07 test-image
Are all these problems related?
Any thing you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

I also suspect compiler::link failure. It is also odd that
save-system images are so much bigger. Here is the tiny difference on

compiler::link should be no smaller than saved_gcl. The raw files are
explicitly deleted as named and output by gcc -- the .tmp extension
appears non-std and might be expected to persist.
I'd make two images, one with
(si::save-system "foo")
and the other with
(compiler::link nil "bar")
And then in each, do a few tests, including looking at
si::*load-types*.

Besides the difference in size in the images, I don't see any
other visible problems. Does the output from the save-system
and compiler::link help? I have no idea what it should look
like.

Might be of use seeing if both images can compile and load files,
especially the test file foo.l above.

Lastly, you all in the axiom world might like to know that I'm about
to release an HOL88 Debian package build atop GCL. In addition to
providing an alternate theorem proving environment, one also has the
ML language built into the same image for potential use by axiom.
More on this later.

That sounds very interesting.
I think we need to move this part of the message to a more conspicuous
place. :-)

OK reply separately.

Take care,

Am happy to announce the submission today of a set of packages for
HOL88, built atop GCL, to Debian.

You can see the packages at:

http://people.debian.org/~camm

Until these are accepted by Debian, after which time one can retrieve
the source and binaries via apt-get, one can:

1) build from source with current gcl (2.6.8 or head) in path:
dpkg-source -x hol88*dsc
cd hol88-2.02.19940316
debian/rules build

2) install the binaries the usual way:
(as root) dpkg -i *.deb

3) unpack in a local directory:

for i in *.deb ; do dpkg --fsys-tarfile $i | tar xf - ; done

(here you will likely have to 'install `new_directory`;;' in the
unpackaged usr/lib/hol88-2.02.19940316/hol image)
(You can save a new image with 'lisp `(ml-save "new_image")`;;')

I am far from an expert on the evolution of ML, but my preliminary
understanding is that this ML was one of the main progenators of
today's family of ML's. Indeed, the authors of the HOL system seemed
to have much to do with the invention of the language itself. I
believe this dialect was referred to as 'Classic ML'. I do not know
how it relates to standard ML, but I bet it is quite close. In any
case, its original implementation was written in lisp, and
conventionally compiled with akcl, the ancestor to GCL. The build
still works, yielding not only an ML in lisp environment, but a
substantial theorem proving environment with a large library in its
own right.

Axiom has discussed in the past incorporating ACL2 as a means to
verify its algorithms. HOL88 should provide yet another such
opportunity in addition to providing ML facilities within axiom.

Please keep in mind that the packages, and the facility in general, are
still in an early stage of development. In particular, HOL88 loads
right into the user package, so is not well isolated.

Take care,

Post by Bill Page
Thanks.
Bill Page.

I tried to track this down. LEADING_UNDERSCORE is set to 1, which
seems to be correct when I use nm to look at the symbols in the
test file compiled by the gcl configure script. The raw symbol
"___srget" does have 3 underscores (two in the original name), and
cos appears as "_cos" etc. Everything works fine during the Axiom
build for quite a while (up to the start of the building interpsys)
until the
Error: Undefined symbol "___srget"
message appears. I would have presumed that this symbol would have
been needed long before this failure occured. I rather suspsect that
this error is a consequence of some deeper but silent problem, e.g.
failed compiler::link?

OK here is a simple test (asusming this symbol comes from getc()
(defun foo nil (with-open-file (s "/tmp/foo") (read-byte s)))

Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.
A test image of gcl created by
$ gcl

I tried to track this down. LEADING_UNDERSCORE is set to 1, which
seems to be correct when I use nm to look at the symbols in the
test file compiled by the gcl configure script. The raw symbol
"___srget" does have 3 underscores (two in the original name), and
cos appears as "_cos" etc. Everything works fine during the Axiom
build for quite a while (up to the start of the building interpsys)
until the
Error: Undefined symbol "___srget"
message appears. I would have presumed that this symbol would have
been needed long before this failure occured. I rather suspsect that
this error is a consequence of some deeper but silent problem, e.g.
failed compiler::link?

OK here is a simple test (asusming this symbol comes from getc()
(defun foo nil (with-open-file (s "/tmp/foo") (read-byte s)))

But I see the this symbol *is* known to the gcl image.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ nm unixport/saved_gcl | grep srget
U ___srget
What is wrong?

Here is says that saved_gcl *uses* the symbol, but does not provide
it. We need T ___srget.

Was our patch to o/makefile designed to remove ___srget from plt.h?
If so, this is the culprit. What was the reason if this is the case?
If not, we need to add code to plttest.c to get these symbols into
plt.h. If this makes any sense to you and you can tell me which is
the case, we can proceed from here.

The idea is that raw_gcl needs its own symbol for every symol that can
be written by the compiler/gcc into an object file to be loaded. If
symbols are in external libraries, e.g. cos() in libm, GCL compiles in
its own reference by taking the address in C

void *ref=cos;

This forces ldd to make a plt table, en effective trampoline, which
will be properly relocated at runtime by ld.so. Jumping to this
trampoline is sufficient to get us to where we need to go.

We also have an additional mechanism to parse the raw_map file to look
at the plt table explicitly if present. This is not very portable,
but the results are in si::*plt-table*.

I'd make two images, one with
(si::save-system "foo")
and the other with
(compiler::link nil "bar")
And then in each, do a few tests, including looking at
si::*load-types*.

What I don't understand is this output appearing twice. This is the

But I see the this symbol *is* known to the gcl image.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ nm unixport/saved_gcl | grep srget
U ___srget
What is wrong?

Here is says that saved_gcl *uses* the symbol, but does not provide
it. We need T ___srget.

Aha. No "__srget" symbol defined in the gcl image? Isn't it strange?

Post by Camm Maguire
Was our patch to o/makefile designed to remove ___srget from plt.h?
If so, this is the culprit. What was the reason if this is the case?

No, only saveFP and restFP are removed because the linker complains
that the symbols are not used in the context of a function. It is
not clear to me why this is not also a problem on other platforms
nor exactly what these symbols are for. Although this helps:

http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP

"In particular, the Apple GCC produces object code which includes
references to the restFP and saveFP symbols, which refer to assembler
routines which manipulate the floating-point state of the processor."

...

"The restFP and saveFP functions are defined in Apple's libgcc, and
so the fix is simply to include this library in your link line. The
best way of doing this is to include the option
-lcc_dynamic
in your link line."

Maybe we need this?

Post by Camm Maguire
If not, we need to add code to plttest.c to get these symbols into
plt.h. If this makes any sense to you and you can tell me which
is the case, we can proceed from here.

I have a vague understanding of the purpose of plttest.c and plt.h
from the comments in the source about what this is supposed to do.

Here is the contents of plt.h:

ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ cat o/plt.h
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
MY_PLT(acos),
MY_PLT(acosh),
MY_PLT(asin),
MY_PLT(asinh),
MY_PLT(atan),
MY_PLT(atanh),
MY_PLT(cos),
MY_PLT(cosh),
MY_PLT(exp),
MY_PLT(log),
MY_PLT(setjmp),
MY_PLT(sin),
MY_PLT(sinh),
MY_PLT(tan),
MY_PLT(tanh)

--------

You will note that "__srget" (two underscores) is present.

Post by Camm Maguire
The idea is that raw_gcl needs its own symbol for every symol that
can be written by the compiler/gcc into an object file to be loaded.
If symbols are in external libraries, e.g. cos() in libm, GCL compiles
in its own reference by taking the address in C
void *ref=cos;
This forces ldd to make a plt table, en effective trampoline, which
will be properly relocated at runtime by ld.so. Jumping to this
trampoline is sufficient to get us to where we need to go.

Thanks for the explanation.

Note that __srget is not defined in an external library but rather
in the /usr/include/stdio.h:

ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ grep srget /usr/include/stdio.h
int __srget __P((FILE *));
#define __sgetc(p) (--(p)->_r < 0 ? __srget(p) : (int)(*(p)->_p++))
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $

------

Is that significant? Does that affect how gcl should look for this
symbol?

Post by Camm Maguire
We also have an additional mechanism to parse the raw_map file to
look at the plt table explicitly if present. This is not very
portable, but the results are in si::*plt-table*.

I get:

Does this stop here? Or do you see "Initializing ...." as in
your compiler::link output below?

It stops there.

OK, this is definitely strange. Could you please
(trace system open delete-file)
before the compiler::link and send me the output.

Did you mean before the save-system command?

First here is the output from compiler::link

Maybe the anomally that you were worried about is not displayed

Here is the same output from save-system:

But I see the this symbol *is* known to the gcl image.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ nm unixport/saved_gcl | grep srget
U ___srget
What is wrong?

Here is says that saved_gcl *uses* the symbol, but does not provide
it. We need T ___srget.

Aha. No "__srget" symbol defined in the gcl image? Isn't it strange?

Yes, in light of this and previous messages. We need a gdb session on
raw_pre_gcl. Please let me know if you would like me to walk you
through one, or whether you can provide me with remote ssh access to
the box or equivalent.

Post by Camm Maguire
Was our patch to o/makefile designed to remove ___srget from plt.h?
If so, this is the culprit. What was the reason if this is the case?

No, only saveFP and restFP are removed because the linker complains
that the symbols are not used in the context of a function. It is
not clear to me why this is not also a problem on other platforms
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP
"In particular, the Apple GCC produces object code which includes
references to the restFP and saveFP symbols, which refer to assembler
routines which manipulate the floating-point state of the processor."
...
"The restFP and saveFP functions are defined in Apple's libgcc, and
so the fix is simply to include this library in your link line. The
best way of doing this is to include the option
-lcc_dynamic
in your link line."
Maybe we need this?

If we can generate a Undefined symbol error on these symbols when
loading .o files, yes. I'm not sure at the moment why these symbols
are not output into our compiled .o, but we'd certainly know about it
by now. I guess if it ain't broke....

If not, we need to add code to plttest.c to get these symbols into
plt.h. If this makes any sense to you and you can tell me which
is the case, we can proceed from here.

I have a vague understanding of the purpose of plttest.c and plt.h
from the comments in the source about what this is supposed to do.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ cat o/plt.h
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
MY_PLT(acos),
MY_PLT(acosh),
MY_PLT(asin),
MY_PLT(asinh),
MY_PLT(atan),
MY_PLT(atanh),
MY_PLT(cos),
MY_PLT(cosh),
MY_PLT(exp),
MY_PLT(log),
MY_PLT(setjmp),
MY_PLT(sin),
MY_PLT(sinh),
MY_PLT(tan),
MY_PLT(tanh)
--------
You will note that "__srget" (two underscores) is present.

Post by Camm Maguire
The idea is that raw_gcl needs its own symbol for every symol that
can be written by the compiler/gcc into an object file to be loaded.
If symbols are in external libraries, e.g. cos() in libm, GCL compiles
in its own reference by taking the address in C
void *ref=cos;
This forces ldd to make a plt table, en effective trampoline, which
will be properly relocated at runtime by ld.so. Jumping to this
trampoline is sufficient to get us to where we need to go.

Thanks for the explanation.
Note that __srget is not defined in an external library but rather
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ grep srget /usr/include/stdio.h
int __srget __P((FILE *));
#define __sgetc(p) (--(p)->_r < 0 ? __srget(p) : (int)(*(p)->_p++))
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $
------
Is that significant? Does that affect how gcl should look for this
symbol?

As you observed earlier, I believe it is defined in the libc 'dylib',
which is the mac version of a shared library. The header reference
above is a prototype.

Come to think of it, there may be a problem like the following:

On Linux systems, libc symbols are postpended with a @@ and version
number. Here is our code to deal with this (sfasli.c): (my comments
in ****)

for (u=0;u<v;u++) {
char *c=NULL;
struct bfd_link_hash_entry *h;

if (!*q[u]->name)
continue;

if (strncmp(q[u]->section->name,"*UND*",5) && !(q[u]->flags & BSF_WEAK))
continue;

*** the above might skip ___srget ***

if ((c=(char *)strstr(q[u]->name,"@@"))) {
*c=0;
if (!(h=bfd_link_hash_lookup(link_info.hash,q[u]->name,MY_BFD_TRUE,MY_BFD_TRUE,MY_BFD_TRUE)))
FEerror("Cannot make new hash entry",0);
h->type=bfd_link_hash_new;
} else if
(!(h=bfd_link_hash_lookup(link_info.hash,q[u]->name,MY_BFD_FALSE,MY_BFD_FALSE,MY_BFD_TRUE)) &&
!(h=bfd_link_hash_lookup(link_info.hash,q[u]->name,MY_BFD_TRUE,MY_BFD_TRUE,MY_BFD_TRUE)))
FEerror("Cannot make new hash entry",0);

*** There might be some other mangling than the @ for ___srget ***

if (h->type!=bfd_link_hash_defined) {
if (!q[u]->section)
FEerror("Symbol ~S is missing section",1,make_simple_string(q[u]->name));
if (!my_plt(q[u]->name,&pa)) {
/* printf("my_plt %s %p\n",q[u]->name,(void *)pa); */
if (q[u]->value && q[u]->value!=pa)
FEerror("plt address mismatch", 0);
else
q[u]->value=pa;
}
if (q[u]->value) {
h->type=bfd_link_hash_defined;
h->u.def.value=q[u]->value+q[u]->section->vma;
h->u.def.section=q[u]->section;
}
}

if (c) {
*c='@';
c=NULL;
}
}

This might be instructive with srget in place of cos:

objdump -x /usr/lib/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/saved_gcl |grep cos
0812f590 l F .text 0000015b number_cos
00000000 F *UND* 00000026 cos@@GLIBC_2.0
0804fb40 F *UND* 00000074 acosh@@GLIBC_2.0
08050440 F *UND* 00000081 cosh@@GLIBC_2.0
0812f6f0 g F .text 00000047 Lcos

We also have an additional mechanism to parse the raw_map file to
look at the plt table explicitly if present. This is not very
portable, but the results are in si::*plt-table*.

Does this stop here? Or do you see "Initializing ...." as in
your compiler::link output below?

It stops there.

OK, this is definitely strange. Could you please
(trace system open delete-file)
before the compiler::link and send me the output.

Did you mean before the save-system command?
First here is the output from compiler::link

Maybe the anomally that you were worried about is not displayed
above? I am not sure what you are looking for.

This looks fine. The Writing segment output occurs once, after the
"Initializing ...". Does the output differ if you do not trace? Your
previous email showed a duplication of the Writing segment and no
Initializing, AFAICR.

This too is fine. And I guess the sizes are the same.

OK, at least I can reproduce this on my mac -- the link output is
garbled without the trace, and I see the size difference. Will
investigate and report more.

Thanks for the explanation.
Note that __srget is not defined in an external library but rather
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ grep srget /usr/include/stdio.h
int __srget __P((FILE *));
#define __sgetc(p) (--(p)->_r < 0 ? __srget(p) : (int)(*(p)->_p++))

Is that significant? Does that affect how gcl should look for this
symbol?

Camm,

What's a dylib on OSX? I found "T ___srget" in 'libc.dylib':

ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ nm /usr/lib/libc.dylib | grep 'T ___srget'
9000f2a0 T ___srget

------

Also in /usr/lib/libm.dylib
9000f2a0 T ___srget

I tried to understand:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/DynamicLi
braries/Articles/DynamicLibraryUsageGuidelines.html

but the references to dynamic loading at run time scared me. ;)

Should all of this be figured out by gcl compiler::link?

Regards,
Bill Page.

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

I think the issue is whether there is an srget in plt.h. We want some
entry therein to generate a U ___srget in plt.o and thereby a T
___srget in raw_pre_gcl. Then we want this entry to be generated by
code in plttest.c passed thruogh the awk and grep in o/makefile.

Can you post plt.h, nm plttest.o and nm plt.o please?

take care,

But I see the this symbol *is* known to the gcl image.

grep srget

Post by Camm Maguire

Post by Bill Page
U ___srget
What is wrong?

Here is says that saved_gcl *uses* the symbol, but does not provide
it. We need T ___srget.

Aha. No "__srget" symbol defined in the gcl image? Isn't it strange?

Post by Camm Maguire
Was our patch to o/makefile designed to remove ___srget from plt.h?
If so, this is the culprit. What was the reason if this is

the case?
No, only saveFP and restFP are removed because the linker complains
that the symbols are not used in the context of a function. It is
not clear to me why this is not also a problem on other platforms
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP
"In particular, the Apple GCC produces object code which includes
references to the restFP and saveFP symbols, which refer to assembler
routines which manipulate the floating-point state of the processor."
...
"The restFP and saveFP functions are defined in Apple's libgcc, and
so the fix is simply to include this library in your link line. The
best way of doing this is to include the option
-lcc_dynamic
in your link line."
Maybe we need this?

Post by Camm Maguire
If not, we need to add code to plttest.c to get these symbols into
plt.h. If this makes any sense to you and you can tell me which
is the case, we can proceed from here.

I have a vague understanding of the purpose of plttest.c and plt.h
from the comments in the source about what this is supposed to do.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ cat o/plt.h
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
MY_PLT(acos),
MY_PLT(acosh),
MY_PLT(asin),
MY_PLT(asinh),
MY_PLT(atan),
MY_PLT(atanh),
MY_PLT(cos),
MY_PLT(cosh),
MY_PLT(exp),
MY_PLT(log),
MY_PLT(setjmp),
MY_PLT(sin),
MY_PLT(sinh),
MY_PLT(tan),
MY_PLT(tanh)
--------
You will note that "__srget" (two underscores) is present.

Post by Camm Maguire
The idea is that raw_gcl needs its own symbol for every symol that
can be written by the compiler/gcc into an object file to be loaded.
If symbols are in external libraries, e.g. cos() in libm,

GCL compiles

Post by Camm Maguire
in its own reference by taking the address in C
void *ref=cos;
This forces ldd to make a plt table, en effective trampoline, which
will be properly relocated at runtime by ld.so. Jumping to this
trampoline is sufficient to get us to where we need to go.

Thanks for the explanation.
Note that __srget is not defined in an external library but rather
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ grep srget /usr/include/stdio.h
int __srget __P((FILE *));
#define __sgetc(p) (--(p)->_r < 0 ? __srget(p) : (int)(*(p)->_p++))
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $
------
Is that significant? Does that affect how gcl should look for this
symbol?

Post by Camm Maguire
We also have an additional mechanism to parse the raw_map file to
look at the plt table explicitly if present. This is not very
portable, but the results are in si::*plt-table*.

How many different types of macosx are there? How can I get access to
an equivalent machine to yours?

The next step is to compile with --enable-debug, and then run
raw_pre_gcl in gdb with a single argument of unixport/. Break at
build_symbol_table_bfd, set a break inside the loop conditionalized
with a strstr on srget, and see why this symbol is not being added.
Its probably faster for me to do it myself unless the above makes
sense to you.

Similar needs doing for compiler::link.

I had thought macosx support was done given my experience on the above
machine. Can anyone please make the macosx os structure simple to me?
I know that animal names are somehow involved :-)

Take care,

I think the issue is whether there is an srget in plt.h. We want some
entry therein to generate a U ___srget in plt.o and thereby a T
___srget in raw_pre_gcl. Then we want this entry to be generated by
code in plttest.c passed thruogh the awk and grep in o/makefile.
Can you post plt.h, nm plttest.o and nm plt.o please?

Please see my previous email displaying plt.h which shows that
__srget is generated by plttest.c and is present in the header file.

But I see the this symbol *is* known to the gcl image.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ nm unixport/saved_gcl |

grep srget

Post by Camm Maguire

Post by Bill Page
U ___srget
What is wrong?

Here is says that saved_gcl *uses* the symbol, but does not provide
it. We need T ___srget.

Aha. No "__srget" symbol defined in the gcl image? Isn't it strange?

Post by Camm Maguire
Was our patch to o/makefile designed to remove ___srget from plt.h?
If so, this is the culprit. What was the reason if this is

the case?
No, only saveFP and restFP are removed because the linker complains
that the symbols are not used in the context of a function. It is
not clear to me why this is not also a problem on other platforms
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP
"In particular, the Apple GCC produces object code which includes
references to the restFP and saveFP symbols, which refer to assembler
routines which manipulate the floating-point state of the processor."
...
"The restFP and saveFP functions are defined in Apple's libgcc, and
so the fix is simply to include this library in your link line. The
best way of doing this is to include the option
-lcc_dynamic
in your link line."
Maybe we need this?

Post by Camm Maguire
If not, we need to add code to plttest.c to get these symbols into
plt.h. If this makes any sense to you and you can tell me which
is the case, we can proceed from here.

I have a vague understanding of the purpose of plttest.c and plt.h
from the comments in the source about what this is supposed to do.
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ cat o/plt.h
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
MY_PLT(acos),
MY_PLT(acosh),
MY_PLT(asin),
MY_PLT(asinh),
MY_PLT(atan),
MY_PLT(atanh),
MY_PLT(cos),
MY_PLT(cosh),
MY_PLT(exp),
MY_PLT(log),
MY_PLT(setjmp),
MY_PLT(sin),
MY_PLT(sinh),
MY_PLT(tan),
MY_PLT(tanh)
--------
You will note that "__srget" (two underscores) is present.

Post by Camm Maguire
The idea is that raw_gcl needs its own symbol for every symol that
can be written by the compiler/gcc into an object file to be loaded.
If symbols are in external libraries, e.g. cos() in libm,

GCL compiles

Post by Camm Maguire
in its own reference by taking the address in C
void *ref=cos;
This forces ldd to make a plt table, en effective trampoline, which
will be properly relocated at runtime by ld.so. Jumping to this
trampoline is sufficient to get us to where we need to go.

Thanks for the explanation.
Note that __srget is not defined in an external library but rather
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $ grep srget /usr/include/stdio.h
int __srget __P((FILE *));
#define __sgetc(p) (--(p)->_r < 0 ? __srget(p) : (int)(*(p)->_p++))
ppc-osx3:~/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre $
------
Is that significant? Does that affect how gcl should look for this
symbol?

Post by Camm Maguire
We also have an additional mechanism to parse the raw_map file to
look at the plt table explicitly if present. This is not very
portable, but the results are in si::*plt-table*.

It stops there.

OK, this is definitely strange. Could you please

Aha. No "__srget" symbol defined in the gcl image? Isn't it strange?

Yes, in light of this and previous messages. We need a gdb session
on raw_pre_gcl. Please let me know if you would like me to walk
you through one, or whether you can provide me with remote ssh
access to the box or equivalent.

I am using the SourceForge compile farm machine 'ppc-osx3'. All
registered SourceForge developers have access to these machines.
You should have not problem to access it. Once you can log in,
I can scp my working directories to your account.

Shall I try to install GNU binutils? The version bundled with GCL

OK, will try to reactivate my sourceforge status. Something changed
over the summer. In the meantime, here is what needs doing:

./configure --enable-debug && make

Yes, there were some problems with access to the compile farm.

It looks like it's gonna skip to me. Is that good or bad?

Actually, it looks like it will not skip due to the section->name.

Please verify this by stepping through with n and this point. In
fact, if you can step from this point to the bottom of this for loop
iteration, and then

(gdb) p *bfd_link_hash_lookup(link_info.hash,q[u]->name,MY_BFD_FALSE,MY_BFD_FALSE,MY_BFD_TRUE)

that would be most helpful.
This is OK, as there is no other junk that needs special processing.

Camm,

I just tried a build of GCL on Fedora Core 5.

The version of gcl is the one called gcl-2.6.8pre in the axiom/zips
directory. I'm now going to retry the build using gcl-2.6.8pre2
which is a slightly later version. If that fails I'll check out
the HEAD and try that.

My money at this juncture is on the randomized sbrk, which has already
broken the GCL build twice on Fedora. Sigh.

Please check the configure output for randomized sbrk. And then
please

./configure --enable-debug && make
cd unixport
make raw_pre_gcl
gdb raw_pre_gcl

and please then post the location of the segfault.

Just to clarify, there are two active gcl branches at the moment,
2.6.8pre, and 'head'. The latter is the experimental 2.7.0 and is not
yet ready for production. The former is a bugfix only point release

Camm,

I give you the gdb output you requested in the next email.
But now that you mention it...

Post by Camm Maguire
Greetings! Just wondering if this is the last axiom issue with
2.6.8pre outstanding. If not, what are the others? If more
testing time is needed to answer this, how much more?

I *am* currently fighting with another problem with the
gcl-2.6.8pre build. When building gcl on an x86-64 Ubuntu
system, the following segment of the ./configure script fails
to create a valid value for EMACS_SITE_LISP. I see from the
email lists that this hack has caused some trouble in the past.

------

echo $ac_n "checking emacs site lisp directory""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:6251: checking emacs site lisp directory" >&5
if [ "$EMACS_SITE_LISP" = "unknown" ] ; then
if [ "$EMACS" != "" ] ; then
EMACS_SITE_LISP=`$EMACS -q -batch --no-site-file -l
conftest.el 2>&1 | grep -v ^Warning: | sed -e /Loading/d | sed -e
/load/d `
else
EMACS_SITE_LISP=""
fi
fi
echo "$ac_t""$EMACS_SITE_LISP" 1>&6

--------

On the particular system where is is a problem, I get the following
output from emacs:

$ /usr/bin/emacs -q -batch
/home/page/sage-1.4.1.2-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libpng-l conftest.el
/usr/bin/emacs:

--------

It seems to me there ought to be a better way. I think
the conftest.el:

cat >> conftest.el <<EOF
(let ((ans ".") (tem load-path) cur)
(while (setq cur (car tem))
(setq tem (cdr tem))
(cond ((and (string-match "site-lisp/?$" cur) (file-directory-p cur))
(setq ans cur)
(if (string-match "-0-9.+$" cur) nil
(setq tem nil)))))
(message ans))
EOF

-------

should be re-written to emit a unique marker for the information
for which we are looking. E.g. something like this:

cat >> conftest.el <<EOF
(let ((ans ".") (tem load-path) cur)
(while (setq cur (car tem))
(setq tem (cdr tem))

(Maybe you have to fix my lisp.)

But then in .configure we can write something simple and reliable:

EMACS_SITE_LISP=`$EMACS -q -batch --no-site-file -l conftest.el 2>&1 |
\
awk -F '<filename>' '/<filename>(.*)<filename>/ {print $2}'`

Perfect! Here is the problem -- the symbol has no value, to the code
never defines its address

Post by Page, Bill
88 if (q[u]->value) {

It would be helpful if you could break at line 89, and make sure that
other symbols are defined through their symbol value. Preferably,
others in plt.h.

But before this, please step into my_plt with

(gdb) s

and step through the code.

This is also of interest therein:

(gdb) p mplt

and, before executing line 180:

(gdb) b pltcomp

then at each break into pltcomp, try to see why the named symbol is
not found.

BTW, is this macosx intel? If not, has anyone tried this?

Take care,

I *am* currently fighting with another problem with the
gcl-2.6.8pre build. When building gcl on an x86-64 Ubuntu
system, the following segment of the ./configure script fails
to create a valid value for EMACS_SITE_LISP. I see from the
email lists that this hack has caused some trouble in the past.
...
It seems to me there ought to be a better way.
...

Here is an actual patch that implements the new test. It works
on my current targe system, but I haven't tested it any further.

Yes, of course. However I do not have autoconf on the target
system where I am now working. So a patch to configure.in is
left as an "exercise for the reader" :-)

On the other hand I do have makeinfo ...

Greetings! My understanding:

1) Bill's helpful emacs site lisp patch to configure.in
2) finish tracing down the plt issue on macosx
3) figure out the error in fc6.

This is complete, right? 1) is waiting on me. I think the latest
email on 2 and 3 went out from me to Bill and Tim resp. with requested
gdb commands therein. I only write this as I'm noticing a lot more
traffic on axiom-developer on the web than I am getting locally.
Please do me the favor of cc'ing me directly until we can work out our
mailer problems.

Take care,

[Bill Page]

Camm,

Here is the gdb output for the MAC OSX plt issue.

I think the result is fairly definitive. See this section below:

Breakpoint 2, pltcomp (v1=0xbffaade0, v2=0x123ad4) at plt.c:25
25 const Plt *p1=v1,*p2=v2;
(gdb) n
27 return strcmp(stn(p1->n),stn(p2->n));
(gdb) p p2->n
$8 = 0x11574c "__srget"
(gdb) p p1->n
$9 = 0x5742d1 "___srget"
(gdb) n
29 }
(gdb) n
0x9000f8c8 in bsearch ()
(gdb) n
Single stepping until exit from function bsearch,
which has no line number information.
my_plt (s=0x5742d1 "___srget", v=0xbffff668) at plt.c:185
185 return -1;
(gdb) n
187 }

--------

It seems as if pltcomp is not respecting the leading underscore
for the comparison.

Can you suggest fix?

Regards,
Bill Page.

Perfect! Here is the problem -- the symbol has no value, to the code
never defines its address

Post by Page, Bill
88 if (q[u]->value) {

It would be helpful if you could break at line 89, and make sure that
other symbols are defined through their symbol value. Preferably,
others in plt.h.
But before this, please step into my_plt with
(gdb) s
and step through the code.
(gdb) p mplt
(gdb) b pltcomp
then at each break into pltcomp, try to see why the named symbol is
not found.
BTW, is this macosx intel? If not, has anyone tried this?
Take care,

I guess it didn't know MY_BFD_FALSE and MY_BFD_TRUE but I
took a wild guess at what these symbols might be. Is this

It would be helpful if you could break at line 89, and make sure that
other symbols are defined through their symbol value. Preferably,
others in plt.h.
But before this, please step into my_plt with
(gdb) s

then at each break into pltcomp, try to see why the named symbol is
not found.

Sigh. As usual, I cannot reproduce on the mac to which I have
access. I'm assuming you see the same issue with

(defun foo (x) (declare (long-float x)) (the long-float (sqrt x)))
(compile 'foo)

Am also assuming that the read-byte test I posted earlier now passes.

In any case, would you please mind stepping through gdb again to the
same place? It should be obvious what is going on. The idea is that
the MY_PLT list in plt.h should have one _ stripped, and that the
string passed to my_plt should do the strip in the stn() C macro right
before the (second) call to bsearch.

I'll be leaving town tomorrow afternoon until Sunday, but would be
happy to fix this quickly today if possible.

Yes. It seems that problem might be that 'sqrt' does not

Yes, indeed, and this is now committed. Thanks!

As the comments in plt.c indicate, we still need a mechanism whereby
improvements to gcl_cmpopt.lsp (which result in writing more C symbols
into compiled files) seemlessly updates plttest.c. Right now, we just
have to remember to make the change in both places, which in this case
failed :-(.

cvs head has a more thorough plttest which resists C optimizers'
attempts to eliminate dead code. I see no reason for a backport at
the moment.

Ok, with your earlier change plus adding 'sqrt(d);' to plttest.c
that did it! At least I think so. The Axiom build is still

pretty slow, so it'll probably two or three hours to complete.

Here's the patch:

OK, as you've gotten a successful build, there is really very little
chance of memory corruption. And I'm surmising that the larger
save-system image has to do with the native unexmacosx code we have
courtesy of Aurelien. In fact, I have never really studied this code,
so he is currently the only person in the world likely to have such
knowledge at the moment!

This .8 is still odd. Might be interesting to add )lisp
si::*load-types* somewhere to examine the defaults.

In the mean time I would be very interested if you could start
by just trying to buiuld the gcl lisp compiler. This is a pre-
requiste for the Axiom build. You can get the version we will be
using in build-improvements directly from the gcl CVS archive via
the command line:

Well, the build of AXIOMsys completed successfully. You can
download a console-only version of Axiom for native MAC OSX 10
on PowerPC here:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/public/AXIOMsys-ppc-20061101.tgz

As usual, untar it into a convenient place like /usr/local

$ cd /usr/local
$ tar xzf ~/AXIOMsys-ppc-20061101.tgz

and then setup the AXIOM and PATH variables like this:

$ export AXIOM=/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
$ export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH

and start Axiom like this:

$ AXIOMsys

(1) -> integrate(1/sqrt(1-x^2),x)

exit Axiom with this command:

(99) -> )quit
yes

--------

The MAC server on which this was compiled did not have an X-windows
environment so it was not possible to compile and test Axiom Graphics
and the Hyperdoc browser. Also native MAC OSX10 apparently does not
have support for the pts virtual terminal interface so it is not
possible yet to compile clef (the replacement for readline).

Because of these problems, it is not possible to use the existing
Axiom source distribution without some changes to accommodate
the limited hardware environment. But if you are familiar with
development on a MAC and would like to give this a try, please
let you know and I can make the current preliminary sources
available.

I look forward to some comments from MAC users! :-)

Do you know?

I think the foremost reason is that clef (aka. "edible") was part
of Axiom long before readline existed.

Second, clef does have some Axiom command completions that are not
built-in to readline but I think readline is also configurable,
and could provide such functionality, right?

Third, to the best of my knowledge readline is the only part of
GCL that is licenses as GPL. If readline is disabled, then GCL might
be considered compatible with Axiom's BSD-style non-copyleft license.
(I am not sure if this is important to anyone interesting in Axiom
any more.)

Personally, I would prefer to get rid of clef and adapt readline
because it would simply the Axiom process tree structure. On the
other hand, readline can be a pain sometimes when you are trying
to drive a program through a pipe and/or pty interface... so it
is desirable also to be able to disable readline also.

I don't know; that is probably true; I have to read GCL's configuration

I never quite understood why readline needs to be replaced. Do you know?

The point is that Axiom can take input from multiple sources. For
example you can fire a few copies of 'spadclient' and you can
interact with each copy separately. In particular, hypertex can
send spad expresions for Axiom to evaluate. Currently, input is
sent via sockets and line buferred, so in this mode readline
included in Axiom is not used.

Strictly speaking, clef could be dropped: one could link
readline into spadclient. However, this will remove one
use of pty. The second pty is used by 'sman' to intercept
normal Axiom input and output. AFAICS this pty may be
eliminated with moderate effort.

BTW: I do not belive that MACOSX does not support pty's.
It may do it in slightly different way, but quite a lot
of unix programs (beggining with Xterm) would brake
without pty's.

I would be glad to hear more information about this.
I found several references on the web stating clearly that
the pty interface was not available on the MAC. With respect
to Xterm on MAC is did also see some references to special
purpose code in Xterm to provide some kind of emulation of
pty for the MAC. Maybe it would be possible use/adapt that
code... but that is beyond my level of experience and
available time.

It would be greate if someone could share their knowledge
and experience with this issue.

Thank you for the binary! (I am on OS X 10.4.8)
$ AXIOMsys
dyld: Library not loaded: /home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/lib/libintl.
8.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/raym/Desktop/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/bin/
AXIOMsys
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
So some remaining path problems I fear...

Hmmm... Yes I do have a path set to point at a library that is
compiled as part of gettext:

$ echo $LIBRARY_PATH
/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/lib:/usr/lib:

I set this originally because I had some problems compiling
GCL with built-in gettext support. But perhaps this is not
necessary. I will try a build of GCL and Axiom without this
set.

If you do have libintl somewhere on you system, perhaps you
can try setting

export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/where-ever-it-is

I am surprised to see the AXIOMsys binary include a full
path name to this external library! Must be something pretty
weird about these .dylib files. ;)

Ready to give it a new try or, better, to compile the
gcl/axiom source code if it's available somewhere.
(tomorrow since it's late here...).

Ok, tommorrow.

Thanks for checking in to this!

Regards,
Bill Page.

BTW: I do not belive that MACOSX does not support pty's.
It may do it in slightly different way, but quite a lot
of unix programs (beggining with Xterm) would brake
without pty's.

I would be glad to hear more information about this.

I am affraid I can not really offer Mac experience. However
the first Goole hit for: MACOSX pty is:

Mac OS X pty Permission Security Issue

Now, something which does not exits should have no security
problems, so I would belive that Mac OS X has pty. OTOH
this security problem is solved by Unix 98 pty's (in other
words Linux /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts), so we can infer that
Mac OS X has only legacy pty (so you should use BSD
branch).

BTW: I you are logged into a Mac OS X machine you can try
to look is '/dev' directory contains things like '/dev/ptyq0'
and '/dev/ttyq0' (this is a traditional name for legacy
pty's).

Personally, I would prefer to get rid of clef and adapt readline
because it would simply the Axiom process tree structure. On the
other hand, readline can be a pain sometimes when you are trying
to drive a program through a pipe and/or pty interface... so it
is desirable also to be able to disable readline also.

Perhaps linedit would be of interest?

http://common-lisp.net/project/linedit/

I doubt it's a drop-in replacement but in theory it would be a good fit
with a lot of lisps instead of just GCL, which might be useful for
things like porting down the road. And its license should pose no
problem.

Cheers,
CY

Yes you are right. The reference I read earlier was that OSX 10.3
does not have support for posix grantpt... Maybe things have
change in OSX a lot since 10.3.

What do you mean by "BSD branch"?

and '/dev/ttyq0' (this is a traditional name for legacy

Yes, I see for example:

ppc-osx3:~/osx $ ls /dev/ptyq*
/dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq3 /dev/ptyq6 /dev/ptyq9 /dev/ptyqc /dev/ptyqf
/dev/ptyq1 /dev/ptyq4 /dev/ptyq7 /dev/ptyqa /dev/ptyqd
/dev/ptyq2 /dev/ptyq5 /dev/ptyq8 /dev/ptyqb /dev/ptyqe
ppc-osx3:~/osx $

But when I try to build clef I get:

ppc-osx3:~/osx/axiom.build-improvements/src/clef $ make
gcc ./edible.o
-L/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/src/clef/../../
./src/lib -L/usr/lib -lspad -lc -o

ple-darwin6.8/bin/clef
ld: warning table of contents of library:

src/lib/libspad.a not sorted slower link editing will result (use the
ranlib(1) -s option)
ld: Undefined symbols:
_grantpt
_ptsname
_unlockpt

-----------

These are all pty external routines.

Maybe it is just that I don't understand that MAC library setup.
