Problem with compiling

[pbiggar]

Followed the hello world example, also tried with latest svn checkout, same problem,
as far I can see.

It's similar to this old issue: http://code.google.com/p/phc/issues/detail?id=123

To quote myself from that issue:
========================================================
Thanks Paul, however I'm still having this issue and a some difficulties to compile
the svn trunk, don't know why. Had to touch some files and got some errors during make:

make[2]: *** [optimize.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/phc/phc-read-only'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/phc/phc-read-only'
make: *** [install] Error 2

And make install too. I can mail you the whole log if you want to. Thanks.
========================================================

I have attached the whole log file, hopefully it'll help you. The server was just installed
with:
Debian 64bit Squeeze
OpenSSH
Apache2
MySQL server + client
Anything said that should be installed.

Thanks for your great effort to make such a thing as this :)

Btw. saw your speech at youtube at Google Tech Talk, very interesting.

Looks like there were changes made in the Zend API. It should be straightforward to
fix these, and I'd be happy to accept a patch that does it.

- zend_fcall_info_init: looks like it has a new signature, preventing the optimizer
from being built.

- <stdin>:71: error: ‘zval’ has no member named ‘refcount’
<stdin>:72: error: ‘zval’ has no member named ‘is_ref’

Looks like refcount and is_ref are not members any more. These should be changed to
use the equivalent macro I think.

Thanks for the reply, however I'm unfortunately unable to apply such a patch. I hope
someone else will take it up.

In the meantime, is it correct understood that, I can use PHC with an older version
of PHP (old stable)?

I'd posted a fix for zend_fcall_info_init that got things working for me on 5.3, but
Andrei asked me not to commit it because he was working on a bigger change:

kevin, I would say apply the patch. Andrei can undo it with his patch if he finishes
it.

Hi everyone,

  The aforementioned patch should work for any analysis pass of phc, but fails for
codegen. Since phc is not working with PHP 5.3.x, at least with this patch it can analyze
the code. I believe you may apply it.

  About the problem, I began to look at the codegen part of it, but with no advance.
Maybe someone with more background on the zend API can have more success.

[pbiggar]

Could you explain where the codegen problem is happening? We're using 5.3.2 with no
apparent problems.

I'm also having tough time compiling under Ubuntu 11.10.

Using SVN, during phc configure, I get:
...

configure: error: Could not link against boost_regex !

I have got all the libboost installed.
Here's an interesting finding.

1. Initially I complied PHC without php, and PHC configure no problem! (Of course this
is not I want)

2. Then I complied and install php-5.2.17, following PHC's documentation
3. Now PHC will halt at the above configure error.

Question: Could the above error caused by php ?

i have exactly the same issue:/
but using debian testing.

during configure i get this:

combined several php, libboost, and phc versions and i get that error every time.

Same here on Debian testing (wheezy), even if i build most of the libraries myself.
Compiling on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (just for testing) works without a hitch.

It seems that something is going wrong in testing the libraries, as "exit" is definitely
in the lib. (if i skip the regex test, i get the same error on libgc: "checking for
main in -lgc... no")

Thanks for the bug reports. Just to let you know, there's no-one working on phc at the
moment, so if you need it fixed, you'll have to dig into it yourselves. I can help
with specific questions though.

Well well.... how about this:

configure:17347: checking for main in -lboost_regex-mt
configure:17366: g++ -o conftest -g -O2  -I/usr/include  -L/usr/lib conftest.cpp -lboost_regex-mt
 -lphp5 -L/usr/local/php/lib -R/usr/local/php/lib -ldl  >&5
g++: error: unrecognized option '-R'

Where does this -R option come from? Perhaps it's an old g++ option?

Original issue reported on code.google.com by eantoranz on 2012-05-25 19:19:56

[pbiggar]

I can't find a -R option in cpp so how do I get rid of it so that configure doesn't
use it when doing those checks? I'm also wondering why this doesn't happen when I don't
specify php by hand.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by eantoranz on 2012-05-25 19:48:28

[pbiggar]

A little bit more, the problem seems to be in $LIBS at that point ( and it must be set
in PHP detection, right ?).

LIBS='-lphp5 -L/usr/local/php/lib -R/usr/local/php/lib -ldl '

Original issue reported on code.google.com by eantoranz on 2012-05-25 20:05:30

[pbiggar]

As I recall, -R is used to make the dynamic linking work. I think libtool adds it (or
perhaps we add it and libtool is supposed to transform it to the right thing on your
platform.

On solution might be to upgrade phc's copy of libtool, maybe?

Original issue reported on code.google.com by paul.biggar on 2012-05-25 20:13:57

[pbiggar]

There's an assigment of LIBS twice in the PHP detection where -R is added to the options.
I commented it out and added a line that was the exact LIBS assignment without the
-Rx option..... configure ran successfully and I'm compiling at the moment. Let's see
if it works.

They look easy to fix though. It might be 5.3 issues - where did you get the code?

There were some pushes since the last release, some are in google code svn, and at
least one is on github only. (Someone needs to move everything to github, but I dont
have time, so I just started taking all patched to github).

On Ubuntu 12.04, phc successfully configures but won't make. The make fails when linking,
reporting a string of linker errors starting with

./.libs/libphc.so: undefined reference to `boost::re_detail:.....

I think this is the same issue caused by commenter #9. The issue is caused by an incorrect
argument order to the linker. (the -lboost_regex-mt argument has no effect because
it's specified after ./.libs/libphc.so). You can continue linking if you manually move
the g++ arguments around.

If anyone is reading this, what's the development status of phc? I want to play with
it, but from what I'm reading, it seems that there's both a SVN and a github repository,
neither of which contains all of the latest changes. (I want to use it for research
purposes -- not production -- so it doesn't bother me that it's still incomplete.)

Regarding the development story:

- all new code via pull request on github
- there are patches in SVN that have not been ported
- we should move the webiste to github too
- we need to update the website to point to the new stuff
- help appreciated :)

Well now that I have a compiler that can build, i found out that the project I wanted
to use needs exceptions, so I dont need to search further. I guess I need to figure
out how to extend the codegen. I guess we need tests cases for this bug. Can you provide
code that will exercise the bug you describe?
thanks
mike

Original issue reported on code.google.com by JamesMikeDuPont on 2012-09-25 11:04:32

[pbiggar]

As far as I can remember, phc can parse try/catch commands. Unfortunately it does not
generate code for such instructions. In fact, you'll need to extend phc's code generator
to support this feature. However, if you also need optimizations you'll have a bad
time. Don't get me wrong, phc's optimization pass is awesome, but it still needs a
lot of work. (;

At this point I would be happy if I could get it not to fail on these exceptions, please
tell me how to do that because i want to do a basic code check first.

[pbiggar]

You have two options: (1) Implement a dummy codegen target for try and catch that does
nothing; (2) Implement an AST pass that strips try/catch but keeps its body. I haven't
worked with codegen in phc so I don't know how difficult it would be to implement the

site. Take a look at: http://phpcompiler.org/doc/latest/traversalintro.html
