clang crash debug file

One of my ports (cad/openvsp) fails to compile in -CURRENT. The port
only compiles with gcc on < 12. As part of the debugging I changed to
compile with clang.

The compiler crashed while compiling the port with the following error:

fatal error: error in backend: No open frame
c++: error: clang frontend command failed with exit code 70

Compiler version is:

freebsd clang version 5.0.0 (brances/release_50 309439)

FreeBSD CURRENT is running in virtualbox 5.1.22 with 8GB of memory assigned. I didn't see any symptoms of memory exhaustion.

How to reproduce:

Change compiler:gcc-c++11-lib to compiler:c++14-lang in port's Makefile

Change src/external/glfont2/CMakeLists.txt and add /usr/local/include
(for some reason clang doesn't find GL/gl.h while gcc does...)

Comment 2 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-08-17 17:26:32 UTC
So what this test case causes is:

fatal error: error in backend: No open frame

This happens with most versions of clang that I could test, and is due to the following inline assembly:

https://sourceforge.net/p/angelscript/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/sdk/angelscript/source/as_callfunc_x86.cpp#l1454

#ifdef __OPTIMIZE__
                // Epilogue
                "movl %%ebp, %%esp         \n"
                ".cfi_def_cfa_register esp \n"
                "popl %%ebp                \n"
                ".cfi_adjust_cfa_offset -4 \n"
                ".cfi_restore ebp          \n"
#endif

Basically, it finds a 'naked' .cfi_restore directive, and it chokes on that. It is probably possible to work around this by disabling the epilogue part, but I am not familiar with this angelscript stuff at all...

We do have a lang/angelscript port, maintained by vg@, maybe he knows how we can work around this problem?

Disable prologs/epilogs that crash clang

Here is a patch which disables the strange prologs/epilogs that mess with the CFI state, and cause clang to crash.  I ran the resulting vsp executable, and it seemed to work OK for me, with light testing.

Closing the PR since I opened another one with an update of the port so it compiles in -CURRENT. See:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222001

I tested the unpatched port with clang 5.0.0 r312293 and clang still crashes. I didn't see a but report in llvm's bugzilla. Has this been reported?

No, this code makes no sense, so it also makes no real sense to report it. Just apply the patch.
