GNAT GPL 2009 for Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

GNAT GPL 2009 for Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

[sjw]

I've just released a 32-bit build of GNAT GPL 2009 for Snow Leopard;
find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/ (navigate to
GNAT_GPL Mac OS X/2009-snow-leopard-i386).

Many thanks -- I'll try it ASAP.
Any chance of a 64-bit build?

Will have a go, but it's a cross-build so may take some getting my
head round!

Thanks. My two main projects run at 2.25 times the 32-bit speed in 64-bit
mode, so it is quite an issue for me.

This is what happened when I tried out the 32-bit version:

Very sorry about that. Have uploaded a more appropriate libmpfr at the
same place as the compiler (seems to be taking its time to appear ...)
unpack /some/where and

  $ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/where

Am rebuilding without the dependency.

Have just uploaded gnat-gpl-2009-i386-apple-darwin10.2.0-1.tar.bz2,
without the dependency; will remove the offending files after a day or
two.

That works very nicely, and, unlike the other SL compilers I've tried
previously, code compiled with inlining at -O3 does not malfunction
(on the two major test cases I've tried so far, anyway).

You might be interested to see what I'm doing with it:

  <http://www.findlayw.plus.com/>.

(The KDF9 had a 48-bit word, and M is a 64-bit machine, so their emulators
run in 64-bit mode at more than twice the speed of 32-bit mode.)

Thanks for these great efforts.

Unfortunately, it goes very badly wrong at -O1 optimization level on another
example:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
package test is
   type i64 is mod 2**64;
   for  i64'Size use 64;
   subtype a_virtual_address is i64;
   subtype an_offset is a_virtual_address;

   function fetch_byte_from (
         location : i64;
         position : an_offset )
   return i64;
end test;
--
package body test is
   type i08 is mod 2**8;
   for  i08'Size use 8;
   type an_i08_array is array (a_virtual_address range <>) of i08;
   for  an_i08_array'Component_Size use i08'Size;
   type an_i08_group is new an_i08_array (0..7);
   for  an_i08_group'Size use i64'Size;
   pragma Convention (C, an_i08_group);

   function fetch_byte_from (
         location : i64;
         position : an_offset )
   return i64 is
      the_location_as_i08s : an_i08_group;
      for the_location_as_i08s'Address use location'Address;
      pragma Import (Ada, the_location_as_i08s);
   begin
      return i64(the_location_as_i08s
                  ((position and 2#111#) xor 2#111#));
   end fetch_byte_from;
end test;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

thus:

+===========================GNAT BUG DETECTED==============================+
| GPL 2009 (20090519) (i386-apple-darwin10.2.0) GCC error:                 |
| in gnat_to_gnu_entity, at ada/gcc-interface/decl.c:312                   |

...

This error message does not appear at -O3, but the generated object program
is non-functional, although that may be for a different reason, of course.

This code compiled and ran correctly under the Leopard compilers I was using
until I stupidly installed SL.

What on earth has happened for GNAT to regress so badly in the face of what
is often described as a tidying-up and performance release of OS X?

FWIW, when we tried to find the best options for the Shootout
programs, it turned out that -gnatn -O2 -funroll-loops was
about as good as -O3. Sometimes the results were even faster.

I don't know either, because here it compiles without complaint at -O
{0,1,2,3}!

Hmm. Interesting ...
What could account for the difference?
Do you have any other versions of GNAT installed in that testing
environment?

I dare say.
I have made similar trials for my own code, and the optimization
flags I use are empirically the best for its object code speed.

I thought OS X was officially supported by AdaCore. From the viewpoint
of a casual bystander, it looks like someone is asleep at the wheel.
This isn't support that I can believe in.

Mac OS X is indeed supported by AdaCore. But we, the users of GNAT
GPL, are *not*.

I have taken the source code provided by AdaCore in GNAT GPL 2009
about 9 months before Snow Leopard was released to the world and
rebuilt it with one change (caused by Apple's removal of sigreturn()).

I don't know any of AdaCore's customers who are supported on Mac OS X
so I can't say what AdaCore's advice to them has been; possibly those
customers who mustmustmust upgrade have been provided with wavefronts.

Each compiler I have installed lives in a different top-level
directory. I set my path using

  $ export PATH=/opt/gnat-gpl-2009/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

(ie, the 32-bit Snow Leopard compiler I just released on SF); now I
can compile your example without trouble. Did you use more options?

The cross-build (I think I may be wrong about that; perhaps there's an
'architecture' switch?) eventually produced a compiler. Unfortunately
it wouldn't process the simplest exception properly (SIGABRT).

I then had the idea, since the problem that stops building is that
init.c calls sigreturn() which isn't present in Snow Leopard, why not
fake up our own sigreturn() that does exactly what the patch did, then
link against that?

This turned out to work as hoped, result being that we can use Apple's
GNAT-GPL-2009 on Snow Leopard; see http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/(navigate
to GNAT_GPL Mac OS X/2009-snow-leopard, get sigreturn.tar.bz2).

Sadly, the failure to handle exceptions with the 64-bit compiler is
unchanged (the 32-bit compiler is OK):

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Raiser is
begin
   begin
      raise Constraint_Error;
   exception
      when Constraint_Error =>
         Put_Line ("CE raised.");
   end;
end Raiser;

nidhoggr:Test simon$ GNAT_PREFIX=/opt/gnat-gpl-2009_64-leopard
gnatmake -g -f raiser -largs sigreturn-64.o
gcc -c -g raiser.adb
gnatbind -x raiser.ali
gnatlink raiser.ali -g sigreturn-64.o
nidhoggr:Test simon$ ./raiser
Segmentation fault

FWIW, here's a bash shell script I use to show the current PATH and the 
alternative. The checkPath() and removePath() functions could be used in 
managing multiple versions:

Thanks for that.

I was meaning to reply specifically to Bill's query about possible
clashes caused by multiple compiler installations.

For normal work, I use a script gnatfe - https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/,
navigate to gnatfe.

Well, I have deleted every copy of GNAT I could find, and downloaded
gnat-gpl-2009-i386-apple-darwin10.2.0-1.tar.bz2 afresh.

My .profile sets the PATH to:

PATH=/Users/wf/a2z/MPS/Cstage2:/Users/wf/ex-GU/HOCUS/sysdev/bin:/Users/wf/Pr
ograms:/Users/wf/KDF9/emulation/testing:/Users/wf/a2z/Testing:/Users/wf/Prog

n:/usr/share:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

which gnat gives /opt/gnat-gpl-2009/bin/gnat
which gcc gives /opt/gnat-gpl-2009/bin/gcc

The error I reported on the "test" package has not gone away. 8-(

I.e., the compiler failure at -O1 has not gone away.
The malfunction at -O3 was my fault, and the optimised module does work.

Not actually a cross build, which would be specified by configuring
with --target=x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0; I don't know what the
technical name is, but configuring with --build=x86_64-apple-
darwin10.2.0 does the trick.

Unfortunately the built compiler won't handle exceptions; a severe
failing. Perhaps Apple have changed the OS features that GNAT uses to
support exception handling? (I tried configuring with --enable-sjlj-
exceptions, no joy).
