Package Request: GCC 9.1 #11663

Closed Jackojc closed 5 years ago

Jackojc commented 5 years ago

Just wondering if there is any plan or progress on GCC 9.1.

pullmoll commented 5 years ago

I'm currently testing bootstrapping with gcc-9.1.0. I'll push the updated packages onto my fork's master branch as soon as the base system and cross compilers are built:

My temporary repository with gcc-9.1.0 packages.

Sidenote: Currently theres a corruption issue with bcache and newer linux kernels.

pullmoll commented 5 years ago

@Gottox that is certainly a show stopper.

I'm currently looking at how to reinstatiate a part of the former patch musl-ada.patch which is missing. The cross-*musl* compilers cannot build gcc-9.1.0 because of an unresolved symbol getpt(3)... Going to use posix_openpt(3) for all architectures, which also is what getpt(3) recommends. Rebuild from scratch one more time.

For those who want to do some testing, specifically the bcache corruption issue, you can use unsigned https://repo.voidlinux.de/gcc91/ packages to create a live ISO and test it.

I tried to enable the D language with the update and I added some new subpackages to gcc:

I'll also add gdmd as a new package to my fork. The idea is it should then be pssible to bootstrap dmd with the help of gdmd.

I just read Linux 5.1.12 fixed two bugs in bcache. I'll be testing if bcache works now in the next days.

pullmoll commented 5 years ago

Good news: the bcache bugs seem to be solved with linux4.19-4.19.53_1. I could create and use bcache devices with btrfs and subvolumes without problems.

I'll create two live ISOs for x86_64 for testers to run in a VM or on bare hardware. I'll upload them to my gcc91 repo's live directory.

It would also be interesting to have people test a mixture of packages from our main repo and (some) packages built with gcc-9.1.0, installed from https://repo.voidlinux.de/gcc91/, to see if and how well especially packages linking against libstdc++ play together.

Awesome, thanks @pullmoll !
