Description Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-25 16:13:41 UTC
Getting the error while trying to update graphics/aseprite (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213756).

Same clang-38 compiler, same port directory, but the outcome is different.

On 10.3 this error is produced:
> /usr/ports/graphics/aseprite/work/aseprite-1.1.9/src/observable/obs/slot.h:51:17: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'std::function<void ()>'
>   slot(F&& f) : f(std::forward<F>(f)) { }

On 11.0 build succeeds with both base and port clang-38.

The same compiler version should work the same way across OS versions, imo.
Comment 1 Brooks Davis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-25 17:27:13 UTC
This is almost certainly a difference in the system header files.

It's not possible to support this.  The libc++ in 10.3 is approximately from the same time as clang 3.4, which is now almost 2 years old, and it is not likely to be updated very quickly.  You cannot just mix and match any versions of compilers and C++ libraries.
Comment 4 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-25 21:38:10 UTC
I think many C++ ports will be eventually broken by this on the older OS versions.

Do you think it would have been better if compatible libc++ was included into clang-NN?

I think you are the only person attempting to compile ports with non-base clang.  If you use base clang, there is no issue.

Please, let's not repeat the gcc ports fiasco.

No, this port fails with the default clang on 10.3 the same way.
Comment 7 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-25 22:10:56 UTC
Actually, USES=compiler:c++14-lang switches to clang-36 and it fails the same way. c++14 was added/can be added at any time.
Comment 8 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-25 22:12:03 UTC
So this is a bug in clang on 10.3 that it can't compile some projects.

Isn't it a problem in the port then?  The error message you showed is very generic, and can happen because of many different reasons.  At least paste the full error, so it is clearer where the error originated.

Full error message

Attaching the full error message.

The upstream author says that it builds fine everywhere, including on FreeBSD 11. So C++ code should be considered correct. But 10.3 base fails to build it. The outdated c++ library causing build failures in some valid projects constitutes a bug, IMO.

Interesting, I've just built the port on 10-STABLE r303552, with CC=clang38 CXX=clang++38 (from the llvm38-3.8.1 port), and it compiled successfully for me.

Are you testing with a newer version of the port? Or configuring it differently, somehow?
Comment 12 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-26 18:57:04 UTC
I am talking about the newest version, with the patch from bug#213756 .
Comment 13 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-31 05:16:35 UTC
I think this should be reopened. I can't update graphics/aseprite (bug#213756) because it fails on 10. I can label it broken in 10, but what is the reason? "Broken C++ support on 10". But it isn't supposed to be broken.
Comment 14 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-31 12:00:38 UTC
Sure, let's reopen.  I found the upstream bug, which is <https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22468> ("std::function<void()> does not accept non-void-returning functions").

I think the fix can be backported to stable/10, but this won't fix it for any existing 10.x releases.  So it is still interesting to see whether we can work around it in the port itself.  I am currently looking at aseprite's upstream history to see where the problem got introduced.

Workaround for bug 213773 (libc++ PR 22468)

Okay, here is at least a possible workaround for aseprite itself.  The upstream libc++ bug is really about binding a std::function<void()> with a function that doesn't return void.

In case of aseprite, this is about bool AppMenus::rebuildRecentList(), which is bound in the AppMenus constructor.  This used to work before upstream commit 6377b55 [1], where they replaced base::Signal/Observable* with obs::signal/observable.

So changing rebuildRecentList()'s return type to void fixes the build with older libc++ headers, by avoiding the bool -> void conversion.  It does not look like anything was actually interested in the bool return value anyway.

Maybe you can consider this fix, which will work even for 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 releases?

Note that I will commit the upstream libc++ fix for std::function anyway, but I can't apply it retroactively to older releases.

    [libcxx] Fix PR 22468 - std::function<void()> does not accept
    non-void-returning functions

    Summary:
    The bug can be found here: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22468

    `__invoke_void_return_wrapper` is needed to properly handle calling a
    function that returns a value but where the std::function return type
    is void. Without this '-Wsystem-headers' will cause
    `function::operator()(...)` to not compile.

    Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D7444

  This should allow newer versions of the graphics/aseprite port to
  compile without modification.

  Direct commit to stable/10, since stable/11 and head already have this
  change.

Thanks Dimitry and Jan,

I integrated the patch into the graphics/aseprite update (bug#213756).
