Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-06 06:44:50 UTC
FreeBSD -CURRENT plans to update base Clang to 6.0.0 soon. While testing this port failed to build. The underlying issue appears to be Clang's idiosyncrasy with C++11 attributes. GCC 6+ is unaffected.

$ cat a.cc
extern "C" void exit(int);

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() { return 0; }

$ c++ a.cc

Comment 1 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-06 07:20:57 UTC
Most configure_error bustage in bug 224669 is actually due to C++11 attributes poisoning.
Comment 2 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-06 16:59:03 UTC
So this is caused by a bunch of GNU configure declaring their own version of exit(), without any attributes, then our stdlib.h declaring it with attributes, right?

In that case using USE_CXXSTD=gnu++98 might also be an acceptable workaround, since that was the original standard with which those configure scripts were executed.

In C++11 or later, I would indeed say that declaring functions inconsistently should be a cause for errors, or at least warnings.  It is a pity you cannot turn these warnings off, though.

Tijl, do you know why autoconf doesn't pick up the system declaration? The following snippet suggests the loop should terminate on the first iteration

  # Some people use a C++ compiler to compile C.  Since we use `exit',
  # in C++ we need to declare it.  In case someone uses the same compiler
  # for both compiling C and C++ we need to have the C++ compiler decide
  # the declaration of exit, since it's the most demanding environment.
  [...]

     '' \
     'extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;' \
     'extern "C" void std::exit (int); using std::exit;' \
     'extern "C" void exit (int) throw ();' \
     'extern "C" void exit (int);' \
     'void exit (int);'
  do

Requires checking consumers for regressions.

Why Clang accepts

  #include <stdlib.h>
  extern "C" void exit(int);

but rejects

  extern "C" void exit(int);
  #include <stdlib.h>

Is such an inconsistent behavior really standardized?
Comment 4 Tijl Coosemans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-08 16:02:21 UTC
It looks like you can just add USES=autoreconf to the port Makefile to regenerate configure.  The included configure has been generated with an old version of autoconf.
Comment 5 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-08 17:21:34 UTC
Indeed, USES=autoreconf works around Clang quirk but requires adjusting any patches against configure or Makefile.in. audio/libsidplay still fails. Not sure about the fix: s/sbyte/ubyte/ or static_cast or -Wno-error=narrowing (e.g., ports r458130).

samples.cpp:80:2: error: constant expression evaluates to 128 which cannot be narrowed to type 'sbyte' (aka 'signed char') [-Wc++11-narrowing]

Yes, this is pretty annoying, inserting all those static casts would be horrendous. If the warning can be turned off, so much the better.

Oops, -O3 .. -fno-omit-frame-pointer -march=native are my local CFLAGS I forgot to strip from commit message.
