GCC MAINTAINER INFORMATION
==========================
If you are having some problem with a system header that is either
broken by the manufacturer, or is broken by the fixinclude process,
then you will need to alter or add information to the include fix
definitions file, ``inclhack.def''. Please also send relevant
information to [email protected], [email protected] and,
please, to me: [email protected].
To make your fix, you will need to do several things:
1. Obtain access to the AutoGen program on some platform. It does
not have to be your build platform, but it is more convenient.
2. Edit "inclhack.def" to reflect the changes you need to make.
See below for information on how to make those changes.
3. Run the "genfixes" shell script to produce a new copy of
the "fixincl.x" file.
4. Rebuild the compiler and check the header causing the issue.
Make sure it is now properly handled. Add tests to the
"test_text" entry(ies) that validate your fix. This will
help ensure that future fixes won't negate your work.
Do *NOT* specify test text for "wrap" or "replacement" fixes.
There is no real possibility that these fixes will fail.
If they do, you will surely know straight away.
NOTE: "test_text" is interpreted by the shell as it gets
copied into the test header. THEREFORE you must quote
dollar sign characters and back quotes -- unless you mean
for them to be interpreted by the shell.
e.g. the math_huge_val_from_dbl_max test_text needs to
put text into both float.h and math.h, so it includes a
back-quoted script to add text to float.h.
5. Go into the fixincludes build directory and type, "make check".
You are guaranteed to have issues printed out as a result.
Look at the diffs produced. Make sure you have not clobbered
the proper functioning of a different fix. Make sure your
fix is properly tested and it does what it is supposed to do.
6. Now that you have the right things happening, synchronize the
$(srcdir)/tests/base directory with the $(builddir)/tests/res
directory. The output of "make check" will be some diffs that
should give you some hints about what to do.
7. Rerun "make check" and verify that there are no issues left.
MAKING CHANGES TO INCLHACK.DEF
==============================
0. If you are not the fixincludes maintainer, please send that
person email about any changes you may want to make. Thanks!
1. Every fix must have a "hackname" that is compatible with C syntax
for variable names and is unique without regard to alphabetic case.
Please keep them alphabetical by this name. :-)
2. If the problem is known to exist only in certain files, then
identify the files with "files = " entries. If you use fnmatch(3C)
wild card characters in a "files" entry, be certain that the first
"files" entry has no such character. Otherwise, the "make check"
machinery will attempt to create files with those characters in the
name. That is inconvenient.
3. It is relatively expensive to fire off a process to fix a source
file, therefore write apply tests to avoid unnecessary fix
processes. The preferred apply tests are "select", "bypass", "mach"
"sum", and "c-test" because they are performed internally:
* select - Run a regex on the contents of the file being considered.
All such regex-es must match. Matching is done with
extended regular expressions.
* bypass - Run a regex on the contents of the file being considered.
No such regex may match.
* sum - Select a specific version of a file that has a matching
check sum. The BSD version of checksum ["sum(1BSD)"]
is used. Each "sum" entry should contain exactly three
space separated tokens: the sum, some number and the
basename of the file. The "some number" is ignored.
If there are multiple "sum" entries, only one needs to
match in order to pass. For example:
sum = '1234 3 foobar.h';
specifies that the "foobar.h" header in any directory
will match if it has the checksum 1234.
* c_test - call a function in fixtests.c. See that file.
* files - the "fnmatch" pattern of the file(s) to examine for
the issue. There may be several copies of this attribute.
If the header lives in a /usr/include subdirectory, be
sure to include that subdirectory in the name. e.g. net/if.h
* mach - Match the output of config.guess against a series of fnmatch
patterns. It must match at least one of the patterns, unless
"not-machine" has also been specified. In that case, the
config.guess output must not match any of the patterns.
The next test is relatively slow because it must be handled in a
separate shell process. Some platforms do not support server shells,
so the whole process is even slower and more cumbersome there.
* test - These should be arguments to the program, "/bin/test".
You may perform multiple commands, if you enclose them
in backquotes and echo out valid test arguments. For
example, you might echo out '0 -eq 1' if you want a false
result, or '0 -eq 0' for a true result.
These tests are required to:
1. Be positive for all header files that require the fix.
It is desirable to:
2. Be negative as often as possible whenever the fix is not
required, avoiding the process overhead.
It is nice if:
3. The expression is as simple as possible to both
process and understand by people. :-)
Please take advantage of the fact AutoGen will glue
together string fragments. It helps. Also take note
that double quote strings and single quote strings have
different formation rules. Double quote strings are a
tiny superset of ANSI-C string syntax. Single quote
strings follow shell single quote string formation
rules, except that the backslash is processed before
'\\', '\'' and '#' characters (using C character syntax).
Each test must pass or the fix is not applied. For example,
all "select" expressions must be found and not one "bypass"
selection may be found.
Examples of test specifications:
hackname = broken_assert_stdio;
files = assert.h;
select = stderr;
bypass = "include.*stdio.h";
The ``broken_assert_stdio'' fix will be applied only to a file
named "assert.h" if it contains the string "stderr" _and_ it
does _not_ contain the expression "include.*stdio.h".
hackname = no_double_slash;
c_test = "double_slash";
The ``no_double_slash'' fix will be applied if the
``double_slash_test()'' function says to. See ``fixtests.c''
for documentation on how to include new functions into that
module.
4. There are currently four methods of fixing a file:
1. a series of sed expressions. Each will be an individual
"-e" argument to a single invocation of sed. Unless you
need to use multiple or complex sed expressions, please
use the "replacement text" method instead.
2. a shell script. These scripts are _required_ to read all
of stdin in order to avoid pipe stalls. They may choose to
discard the input.
3. Replacement text. If the replacement is empty, then no
fix is applied. Otherwise, the replacement text is
written to the output file and no further fixes are
applied. If you really want a no-op file, replace the
file with a comment.
Replacement text "fixes" must be first in this file!!
4. A C language subroutine method for both tests and fixes.
See ``fixtests.c'' for instructions on writing C-language
applicability tests and ``fixfixes.c'' for C-language fixing.
These files also contain tables that describe the currently
implemented fixes and tests.
If at all possible, you should try to use one of the C language
fixes as it is far more efficient. There are currently five
such fixes, three of which are very special purpose:
i) char_macro_def - This function repairs the definition of an
ioctl macro that presumes CPP macro substitution within
pairs of single quote characters.
ii) char_macro_use - This function repairs the usage of ioctl
macros that no longer can wrap an argument with single quotes.
iii) machine_name - This function will look at "#if", "#ifdef",
"#ifndef" and "#elif" directive lines and replace the first
occurrence of a non-reserved name that is traditionally
pre-defined by the native compiler.
The next two are for general use:
iv) wrap - wraps the entire file with "#ifndef", "#define" and
"#endif" self-exclusionary text. It also, optionally, inserts
a prolog after the "#define" and an epilog just before the
"#endif". You can use this for a fix as follows:
c_fix = wrap;
c_fix_arg = "/* prolog text */";
c_fix_arg = "/* epilog text */";
If you want an epilog without a prolog, set the first "c_fix_arg"
to the empty string. Both or the second "c_fix_arg"s may be
omitted and the file will still be wrapped.
THERE IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO THIS, HOWEVER:
If the regular expression '#if.*__need' is found, then it is
assumed that the file needs to be read and interpreted more
than once. However, the prolog and epilog text (if any) will
be inserted.
v) format - Replaces text selected with a regular expression with
a specialized formating string. The formatting works as follows:
The format text is copied to the output until a '%' character
is found. If the character after the '%' is another '%', then
one '%' is output and processing continues. If the following
character is not a digit, then the '%' and that character are
copied and processing continues. Finally, if the '%' *is*
followed by a digit, that digit is used as an index into the
regmatch_t array to replace the two characters with the matched
text. i.e.: "%0" is replaced by the full matching text, "%1"
is the first matching sub-expression, etc.
This is used as follows:
c_fix = format;
c_fix_arg = "#ifndef %1\n%0\n#endif";
c_fix_arg = "#define[ \t]+([A-Z][A-Z0-9a-z_]*).*";
This would wrap a one line #define inside of a "#ifndef"/"#endif"
pair. The second "c_fix_arg" may be omitted *IF* there is at least
one select clause and the first one identifies the text you wish to
reformat. It will then be used as the second "c_fix_arg". You may
delete the selected text by supplying an empty string for the
replacement format (the first "c_fix_arg").
Note: In general, a format c_fix may be used in place of one
sed expression. However, it will need to be rewritten by
hand. For example:
sed = 's@^#if __GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7$'
'@& || __GNUC__ >= 3@';
may be rewritten using a format c_fix as:
c_fix = format;
c_fix_arg = '%0 || __GNUC__ >= 3';
c_fix_arg = '^#if __GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7$';
Multiple sed substitution expressions probably ought to remain sed
expressions in order to maintain clarity. Also note that if the
second sed expression is the same as the first select expression,
then you may omit the second c_fix_arg. The select expression will
be picked up and used in its absence.
EXAMPLES OF FIXES:
==================
hackname = AAA_ki_iface;
replace; /* empty replacement -> no fixing the file */
When this ``fix'' is invoked, it will prevent any fixes
from being applied.
------------------
hackname = AAB_svr4_no_varargs;
replace = "/* This file was generated by fixincludes. */\n"
"#ifndef _SYS_VARARGS_H\n"
"#define _SYS_VARARGS_H\n\n"
"#ifdef __STDC__\n"
"#include <stdarg.h>\n"
"#else\n"
"#include <varargs.h>\n"
"#endif\n\n"
"#endif /* _SYS_VARARGS_H */\n";
When this ``fix'' is invoked, the replacement text will be
emitted into the replacement include file. No further fixes
will be applied.
------------------
hackname = hpux11_fabsf;
files = math.h;
select = "^[ \t]*#[ \t]*define[ \t]+fabsf\\(.*";
bypass = "__cplusplus";
c_fix = format;
c_fix_arg = "#ifndef __cplusplus\n%0\n#endif";
test_text =
"# define fabsf(x) ((float)fabs((double)(float)(x)))\n";
This fix will ensure that the #define for fabs is wrapped
with C++ protection, providing the header is not already
C++ aware.
------------------
5. Testing fixes.
The brute force method is, of course, to configure and build
GCC. But you can also:
cd ${top_builddir}/gcc
rm -rf include-fixed/ stmp-fixinc
make stmp-fixinc
I would really recommend, however:
cd ${top_builddir}/fixincludes
make check
To do this, you *must* have autogen installed on your system.
The "check" step will proceed to construct a shell script that
will exercise all the fixes, using the sample test_text
provided with each fix. Once done, the changes made will
be compared against the changes saved in the source directory.
If you are changing the tests or fixes, the change will likely
be highlighted.
