@afxgroup We should discus this on the 26th October. e.g. machine target command line options that are out of date in the SPEC file.

Bump. For the next meeting after the 7th.

afxgroup commented 8 months ago

Yes, we'll arrange a meeting

afxgroup commented 4 months ago

Rebump! I need it :P

3246251196 commented 4 months ago

@afxgroup Can you quote what the changes or the bulk of new options are?

afxgroup commented 1 month ago

If you try to compile something that has specific cpu code it doesn't work anymore with gcc11 (and iirc 8) For example: http://www.os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/shell/sam440ep_setup.lha

But also code with altivec. A good test is also the graphics library

@afxgroup Reminder to prove the spec file in this issue when you have the time.

@afxgroup https://github.com/AmigaLabs/adtools/tree/gcc11_spec_machine_options Perhaps we can test this out a little bit on some projects that you know fail. I happened to test it for the sam440 LHA above and it worked.

=== I was wondering why this actually fixed anything since the 440fp option has not changed in this new spec file. For sure, we should update our spec file and I will create the PR, but the real fix is the implicit inclusion of this option:

-many
    Generate code for any architecture (PWR/PWRX/PPC).

due to the last entry for ASM_CPU_SPEC which is ASM_OPT_ANY. Well, that at least is the fix for the test file that you provided in the ticket. I am sure updating our spec file also fixes other more intricate things!
