[Qemu-devel] Build failure on OS X

[Qemu-devel] Build failure on OS X

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

Anyone any idea what might've caused this build failure? I'm fairly  
certain I haven't messed with or updated the system headers.

have you just updated your CVS co ?
Please try to comment the "always_inline" definition in vl.h /
exec-all.h.
If this is what's breaking your build, I'll revert this definition.

The fact the error mentions "__attribute__" and ALWAYS_INLINE make me
think the always_inline defintion is the suspect here....

It is, thanks for the pointer! (The source file itself didn't appear  
to have been updated.)

I believe Apple's GCC in general has a problem with the __attribute__  
notation. The ppc*-softmmu fail to build for some time due to its use  
for aliasing in hw/ppc.c. Maybe we could add a configure check for  
this feature to have a conditional define? That would allow a more  
elegant fix than the one I use locally and had previously suggested.

Best regards,

Andreas

Sorry for introducing this problem...
Would this new definition solve the compilation failure ?

#ifndef always_inline
#if (__GNUC__ < 3) || defined(__APPLE__)
#define always_inline inline
#else
#define always_inline __attribute__ (( always_inline )) inline
#endif
#endif

It does.

I've updated my patch accordingly with __APPLE__, what do you think?  
I have no idea what alias does exactly, should we just use a #define  
on the Mac?

OK, then I will commit this fixup, even if it may generate slower code
for interrupt processing (which is already something slow...).

the alias attribute is used to define a new function name that actually
refer to another existant function, this to avoid code duplication. We
can easily avoid using it using an inline function for the actual
implementation and calling it from different places. Please take a look
at this patch.

Well, slower compared to Linux certainly, but there's no fancy  
acceleration anyway. I consider working+slow better than not working  
at all.
If someone has a speedup idea for the __APPLE__ case, that could  
still be applied separately.

Patch looks okay to me and compiles. Again, I have no idea about the  
implications and any performance impact.


Either way, if I run "qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom debian-40r0- 
powerpc-DVD-1.iso" this is what I get:

starting qemu...
qemu: fatal: Unable to find PowerPC CPU definition

NIP fffffffc LR 00000000 CTR 00000000
Bus error

I haven't used it in a while; as reported earlier, it didn't really  
work back then either, but it worked "more", i.e. started to boot.  
But this is with or without the patch, so unrelated - just saying I  
can't confirm that this patch works 100%.

Regards,

Andreas

I fully agree...

I guess there are some already defined macros in the Apple build
environmnet that should be used instead. But I don't know too much about
this environment... The slowdown is really not an issue in that
particular case.

It has no performance impact, it just duplicates one (small) function in
the generated object, which will not have any impact.

OK, just checked and I have this problem too. Will fix it as soon as I
can.
In between, you can just try to force the CPU, adding '-cpu 750' or
'-cpu 604' to your command line.

Thanks for this report !

Actually, I am now seeing that in math.h Apple itself uses  
__attribute__ ((always_inline)) for __MATH_H_ALWAYS_INLINE__ if  
__GNUC__ is defined ... so I now believe the issue is rather the  
"recursive" definition of always_inline: QEMU defines always_inline  
and it subsequently tries to replace always_inline inside the  
__attribute__(()) in math.h! Could this be it?

Puzzling, the attached patch works. It appears to be the trailing  
inline that it doesn't like for some reason.

Just scratch it... On second tests it doesn't work at all, I could've  
sworn I did make distclean before building...

There are known issues with the PowerPC emulation:
Prep has been broken long ago by PCI patches. One has reported the exact
patch that did break it but the ones who did that patch never felt like
he has to take care of making it work properly and I did not have time
or motivation to search more.
As far as I know, the mac99 target is the one known to run but
unfortunately some patches have broken the IDE CDROM support during this
summer. I will have to find a work-around in the firmware as I also
noticed that it was bugged when ran on real hardware. For now, I do all
my test booting on hard drive disk images or flash images (for PowerPC
405). I'm currently working on the core emulation but I will come back
to do some fixes in the hw part / firmware part soon.
