Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-01 01:20:47 UTC
We intend to remove gets() - see PR 228914 and review D12298 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12298. gcc ports fail to build without gets due to __gets_chk in libssp; on a gets-less system gcc should omit this support from libssp.

Comment 2 Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-01 20:33:06 UTC
I reported the situation around GCC upstream, which did not lead to a
code change yet.

Thus I'm moving forward to patch important lang/gcc* ports -- initially 
lang/gcc7 as the default, next lang/gcc8 as the future default, and 
lang/gcc9-devel -- still hoping for some updates to come in upstream.

The following I plan to leave as is, and mark as BROKEN on FreeBSD 12
when it comes to that

 - older versions of GCC, and 
 - devel versions that are actively maintained upstream still and feature
   a stable sibling that tracks the same release branch.

Users should hardly need those, let alone in combination with FreeBSD 12,
and I'm hoping for the -devel ports to be ready when FreeBSD 12 goes live
for real.

  (I was planning to make this part of a routine update, alas last week's
  snapshot was broken on i386-unknown-freebsd10.x and so will this week's
  still.)

  Recommend the use of GCC 7 or later over this port, since that is now

Comment 6 Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-30 07:41:00 UTC
I believe sufficiently many of the lang/gcc* ports have now been patches
to be able to close this report, namely all that should be relevant for
regular use. 

(I'll still see that we hopefully can get this addressed upstream as well,
which should then flow back into the -devel ports and obviate the need for
local patches.)
