Replace problematic inline functions with macros

Hi, I've the same issue.

It seems to originate from some inlined (byte swapping) function declared in a header file that are never used so pruned from object files, but still expected at a link step.

Un-inlining is not really an option as it create multiple reference, I guess this could be worked around with the static keyword but I also managed to workaround this using preprocessor macros instead... I've attach a patch if that can be a temporary fix for some people.
Comment 3 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-12-16 08:24:21 UTC
can you try the following patch from upstream?

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=patch;h=cbbbc402e059ee345cb781d3ceb757ae1cc679ee
Comment 4 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-12-16 17:04:56 UTC
(In reply to Baptiste Daroussin from comment #3)
Yes, that should be much better.  In C, *never* use "naked" inline functions!
Comment 5 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-12-16 18:44:24 UTC

fixed from upstream
Comment 6 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-12-16 18:45:53 UTC
I added actually a full fix, sent by the upstream developper who claim to be responsible for the issue. he has been nice enough to sent me a full chunk patch which can apply straight on the ports tree!

Please confirm that is fixes the issue for you
Comment 7 Eitan Adler freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-12-26 12:57:47 UTC
Apologies about the delay. binutils successfully compiles with this patch.
Comment 8 Marcin Cieślak 2020-01-11 15:45:04 UTC
Ran into this today with poudriere. Can we get this patch committed?
Comment 9 Marcin Cieślak 2020-01-11 19:26:33 UTC
Another data point: this happens only under WITH_DEBUG=true
Comment 10 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-01-25 13:15:43 UTC
@Bapt Upstream patch has been tested and confirmed, comment 7 and comment 8, along with people on IRC. 

Would you like me to reset Assignee so someone else can take care of it?

^Triage: Assignee timeout, open to take

attachment 209997 [details] has been tested/verified, but needs QA (poudriere) testing.
Comment 13 dewayne 2020-01-28 03:42:17 UTC
(In reply to Marcin Cieślak from comment #9)
Thanks Marcin, I've been running with binutils 2.33.1,1 since late December on both i386 and amd64 FreeBSD 12.1S and couldn't understand why I don't have the problem (???).  However I do have
DEBUG_FLAGS=
WITHOUT_DEBUG=true
WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=YES
sprinkled around.
Comment 14 Marcin Cieślak 2020-01-31 15:22:35 UTC
Dewayne, I think my build breaks because I was using lower compiler optimization level as implied by WITH_DEBUG=yes. It might work well during the "normal" build.
Comment 15 freebsd 2020-02-16 19:49:40 UTC
Is this the same issue? Only on FreeBSD 12.1-p2 amd64 (Poudriere):

No, your pastebin shows different errors:

ld: error: undefined symbol: powerpc_num_opcodes
>>> referenced by ppc-dis.c

As this is about PowerPC specific parts of binutils, you should open another bug with a reproduction scenario.

Ah sorry, jumped the gun there, will do.
Comment 18 mrT 2020-07-07 01:21:18 UTC
The patch has been available since end of January.
So why is it not available in
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils/?view=log

I also checked freshports.org and it is not there either.

I will try to make due with the batch from this bug report any way.

That is the revision I was trying to build.

After getting your comment, I decided to try again:

     Checked out revision 529050.

I don't see any 'libcft-failures.diff' patch file there.

I also tried
svn co  http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils
     A    binutils/Makefile
     A    binutils/distinfo
     A    binutils/files

     A    binutils/pkg-plist-s390x
     A    binutils/pkg-plist-sparc64
     Checked out revision 541461.

Still no sign of 'libcft-failures.diff' patch file there.

I also tried:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/master/devel/binutils

and again no sign of 'libcft-failures.diff' patch file there.


I tried searching all the files (including '.svn' directory) and didn't find anything suggesting the patch or 'swap' or related keywords.
This fails to build with the same link errors as in this bug report.
And the source files mentioned in 'libcft-failures.diff' patch file
are not patched.
What I used to build is:
  DEBUG_FLAGS="-g -O0 -gdwarf-4"; make -dxA WITH_DEBUG=1 MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=1 DEBUG_MK_SCRIPTS=1
and searching the resulting log I did not find any mention of
'libcft-failures.diff' patch file and no attempt to patch source files
such as elfcpp/elfcpp_swap.h
        libctf/swap.h

I noticed that 'libcft-failures.diff' patch file contained a command line
    +diff -x .git -x autom4te.cache -durN binutils.orig/libctf/swap.h binutils/libctf/swap.h
Could it be that the '.git' repository has the devel/binutils with the
patch integrated but for some reason has not propagated to
http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils ?

I managed to apply the 'libcft-failures.diff' patch (to revision 529050)  that was posted as part of this bug report and it build without error.

I wish to report that this bug report is not fixed if 'fixed' means that the normal ways of obtaining ports would automatically have this patch applied than I fail to see how that could happen using the ports repositories mentioned above.

By the way, I discovered that (unlike most of my other ports searches)
    https://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html
fails to show 'devel/binutils'
by specifying: search on: binutils  [package name]

but can show it by: search on ^binutils [package name]
and by: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils/?view=log
and by: svn co -r 529050 http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils
and by: svn co  http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/binutils
and by: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/master/devel/binutils

This affects me too when building binutils for gcc8 in poudriere.
