[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv2] configure: verify stdio.h

[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv2] configure: verify stdio.h

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Verify that stdio.h supports %lld %zd.
Some migw variants don't unless requested explicitly (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00417.html)
), detect them early.

This makes cross-compiling impossible.  Is that really desirable?

I'd rather drop %ll and %z.

migw -> mingw

I don't know any ming32 variant which supports %lld, %zd.
There is a new mingw-w64 were people are addressing the
problem, but that variant is unsupported by qemu.

Tests of %lld must use a 64 bit pattern (ll = 0x0123456789abcdefLL).
Otherwise, %lld, %ld and %d with ll = 1 will all print 1 on little endian
machines, and the %lld test won't detect missing support.

The problem is now several years old, it can be avoided for really
important output, so it seems acceptable to wait another period
of time until a working mingw is supported by qemu.

A test which prevents qemu builds on windows with current mingw32
or cross builds with current debian cross mingw32 would not help.
Both variants work for me even without full format support.

Did you try with -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 ?
This is what the link below mentions.

What are the issues?

New information on this issue:

mingw-runtime 3.15 (2008-09-07) added support for
standard format conversion:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=24832

The release note also says how to select MS or C99/POSIX
format strings.

Debian still does not include that version:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498529

Maybe someone knows how we can help to get the new release
for debian. It's needed for cross compilation (at least for
users who don't want to install it manually).

Good question. I don't know because I did not try it.
It was only a guess that qemu would not work with
mingw-w64 without modifications.

Heh, configure script runs the program it's built
in a couple of places. This probably does not
work for cross-builds:

	if compile_prog "" "" ; then
	$TMPE && bigendian="yes"
	else
	echo big/little test failed
	fi

likely works by luck for build to intel, because error
is interpreted as little-endian.

In FFmpeg we check the endianness like this:

check_cc <<EOF || die "endian test failed"
unsigned int endian = 'B' << 24 | 'I' << 16 | 'G' << 8 | 'E';
EOF
od -t x1 $TMPO | grep -q '42 *49 *47 *45' && enable bigendian

This works on every combination of build and target system we use.
