GCC 4.9.0, with the GNAT GPL 2014 tools, is available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/GNAT_GCC%20Mac%20OS%20X/4.9.0-2014/

This is the README:

This is GCC 4.9.0 built for Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.2, Darwin
13.1.0), with Xcode 5.1.1 and tools from GNAT GPL 2014.

gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014.tar.bz2
============================================

Compilers included: Ada, C, C++, Objective C, Objective C++, Fortran.

Tools included: ASIS, AUnit, GDB, GNATColl, GPRbuild, and XMLAda from
GNAT GPL 2014.

Install by
=======

$ cd /
$ sudo tar jxvf ~/Downloads/gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014.tar.bz2

and put /opt/gcc-4.9.0/bin first on your PATH.

Installing GDB
--------------

gdb has to be 'code-signed' (unless you're willing to run it as root!)

Instructions are at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/Codesigning-the-Debugger.html

Notes
=====

The compiler is GPL verson 3 with the Runtime Exception, so
executables built with it can be released on proprietary terms
PROVIDED THAT they make no use of the the packages from GNAT GPL 2014,
which are full GPL.

The command 'gnat', as originally built, failed with SIGSEGV. It was
rebuilt on its own, using the project file gnatcmd.gpr, and no longer
failed; the working version is provided.

Changes made to GPRbuild GPL 2014 are in gprbuild-gpl-2014-src.diff. They:
* remove the '-c' flag that is wrongly passed to ranlib (and isn't by
  gnatmake).
* correct a problem when building static stand-alone libraries.
* remove some restrictions not provided in FSF GCC yet: No_Fixed_IO,
  No_Long_Long_Integers, No_Multiple_Elaboration.
* import the new library package GNAT.Rewrite_Data (used by gprslave).
* retain the bug in gprinstall which installs executables with
  'execute' access for the owner only rather than for all users (this
  is a problem if the installation is done by root). The change relies
  on a change in the RTS (adaint.c).
* gprslave can't call Set_File_Last_Modify_Time_Stamp (adaint.c
  again).

GNATColl GPL 2014 was configured as below, which is minimal apart from GNU
Readline being enabled. Users may wish to reconfigure for their own
requirements.

  ./configure \
    --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.9.0 \
    --build=x86_64-apple-darwin13 \
    --enable-gpl

resulting in

  Shared libraries:       yes (default: static)
  Gtk+:                   no (requires pkg-config and gtkada.gpr)
  Python:                 yes /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 (see --with-python)
  PyGtk:                  no  (see --enable-pygtk)
  PyGObject:              no (see --enable-pygobject)
  Syslog:                 yes (see --enable-syslog)
  Readline (GPL license): yes (see --with-readline --enable-gpl)
  gmp:                    no (see --with-gmp)
  PostgreSQL:             no -L/usr/lib (see --with-postgresql)
  Sqlite:                 embedded  (see --with-sqlite)
  Iconv:                  yes (see --with-iconv)
  Projects:               yes

Changes to ASIS GPL 2014 are in asis-gpl-2014-src.diff. Only
changes necessary for the build are included.

GDB GPL 2014 built without changes, but there are problems with 'catch
exception'; one workround is to invoke GDB with the '-readnow'
switch. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11385

In addition to the above, a new library gnat_util is required by ASIS
and GNATColl. A Sourceforge project to provide this has been set up at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnatutil/; release 4.9.0 is included
here. This is the equivalent of the Debian libgnatvsn.

The first release (gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014.tar.bz2)
contained an error: 'gnat list' didn't recognise library
projects. This meant that Emacs ada-mode couldn't be used for library
projects.

gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014-1.tar.bz2 is now available at the
same place as above.

Simon, how does this version relate to GNAT GPL 2014?
Older, newer, more recent/less recent bug fixes, or just tweaks for the sake
of different licensing?

At least the backend is GCC 4.9 instead of GCC 4.7.

As Pascal says, it's FSF GCC 4.9.0, and the FSF's change notes are the
reference for the compiler.

GNAT GPL 2014 (for Mac) supports C, C++, Ada, and Objective C. My
release additionally supports Fortran and Objective C++. In all cases,
the compiler itself is built without change. I had to rebuild the
command 'gnat', because the original build with the compiler failed with
SIGSEGV; something to do with exceptions, I need to report this but I'm
a bit too vague on the details.

The only functional change to the tools was to gprbuild; it still
(wrongly) passes -c to ranlib, and I've improved the handling of static
stand-alone libraries (like [1]; I didn't patch gnatmake in the
compiler, because gprbuild is the proper tool for building libraries on
Mac OS X).

The RTS copyright is GPL 3 with the runtime exception; the tools are GPL
(I expect GPL 3, haven't checked). The ones where this could cause a
problem are ASIS, GNATColl, and XMLAda; AUnit, GDB and GPRbuild are
build/test tools.

README and patches are at the same place as the compiler tarball.

Another fix for Emacs Ada mode would be to compile gnatinspect or
gpr-query, and use those; they provide better cross reference support,
including C++. But if 'gnat list' doesn't work, you probably would not
be able to compile anything, any way.

What happened was that "gnat <legal-command>", as built with the
compiler, crashed with a SIGSEGV (it exits by raising an exception -
perhaps other tools don't do this, since I saw no evidence of them
failing).

I rebuilt it using the libgnat_util that I'd previously built. This
build, which was the first upload, failed to recognise that the
in-compiler build copies gcc/ada/mlib-tgt-specific-darwin.adb from the
source tree to gcc/ada/tools/mlib-tgt-specific.adb in the build tree,
with the result that libgnat_util contained the default
mlib-tgt-specific.adb from the source tree, which says

   --  By default, libraries are not supported at all

I found this out when using ada-mode for a new project: on attempting to
set the project file, I got

   GPR_PROJECT_PATH=nil
   gnat list -Pscripted_testing.gpr -v 
   scripted_testing.gpr:2:17: object directory "src/.build" not found
   scripted_testing.gpr:4:25: warning: libraries are not supported on this platform
   gnat: "scripted_testing.gpr" processing failed

and I interpreted the "libraries are not supported on this platform" as
the reason for failure. It turns out that it is indeed only a warning:
the error is actually the missing object directory.

Anyway, the fix to "gnat" was to rebuild libgnat_util correctly, then
rebuild "gnat" (and the other tools that depend on libgnat_util - I
think only GNATColl is actually affected).

The reason I didn't notice immediately is that I rarely use the "gnat"
versions of commands explicitly; and, having made the fix, I delayed
uploading it because no one was complaining.


I see gnatinspect, but not gpr_query - is that one of yours? (Google was
no help).

Isn't gnatpath the proper replacement for gnat list? The customization
buffer says it's available on the Ada mode web site, but I don't see it.

I think I'd have to want to use Xcode to start on that. It would maybe
help if Apple published the Xcode plugin interface rather than leaving

True enough.

Is the source you used the base GCC 4.9.0 from SVN/GIT?

I could not get the work around using gprbuild to work on Mavericks 10.9.5. The gnat -v (specifying an invalid argument) still crashes. After many attempts have finally tracked this down.

One needs to pass --with-host-libstdcxx=-lstdc++ when configuring GCC. Gnat will no longer SIGSEGV after make install.

I used gnat-gpl-2014-x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0 to build a recent 4.9 revision from the 4.9 branch.

svn export -r 216107 svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_9-branch gcc-4.9-20141010

Remember to pass along --with-host-libstdcxx=-lstdc++ when configuring GCC. That's it.

Regards,
Mario

Notes: Some sites out there suggest running with LDFLAGS=-lgcc_eh make ...

That will work and the build process will seem to have succeeded. However, the gnat -v (testing an invalid argument) will still crash. Instead, --with-host-libstdcxx=-lstdc++ is needed when configuring GCC. -lgcc_eh is not necessary when building GCC.

Do you mean that the 'gnat' I provided doesn't work, or that you've
tried to rebuild gnatcmd as I did and *that* didn't work?

I'm still using gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014-1.tar.bz2 without
problems (except that other gnat* commands still show the problem when
used in ways which result in program exit via exception, such as
'gnatchop -h', or gnatmake when the library contains .ali files from a
very old compiler release).

I just rebuilt gnatcmd (Xcode 6.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.5, Darwin 13.4.0)
and ./gnatcmd -v works fine.

Thanks for the info. That must have been _some_ detective work!

I see from my compiler build log that my gnat* commands were built with
(a mammoth list of inputs, including)

   -B../../../x86_64-apple-darwin13/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs 
   -B../../../x86_64-apple-darwin13/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/.libs 
   -L../../../x86_64-apple-darwin13/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs 
   -L../../../x86_64-apple-darwin13/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/.libs 
   -static-libstdc++

which presumably means to use the newly-build libstc++ in GCC rather
than the system one? Interesting, because the rebuilt gnatcmd doesn't
appear to use libstdc++ at all (I eventually managed to get a build that
used libgnat.dylib, of course that itself might have bound libstdc++
statically - but then how would my fix work?)

Re: ANN: GCC 4.9.0 (2014) for Max OS X Mavericks

[Mario Roy]

The gnat binary in gcc-4.9.0-x86_64-apple-darwin13-2014-1.tar.bz2 is working. Did not know that gnatchop -h is causing a segmentation fault though. You see, I am new to Ada. The (Segmentation fault: 11) error takes the fun away, unfortunately.

Solution:

Configure GCC with --with-host-libstdcxx=-lstdc++. I also tested --with-host-libstdcxx=/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib and that works too.

I read about --with-host-libstdcxx at https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html. That did it. The gnat binaries are working as expected even when passing an unknown command (i.e. gnat -v or gnatchop -h).

I guess I only see it very rarely because I'm so used to the GNAT
command line that I don't make mistakes like gnatchop -h very often. But
it's very annoying when it happens (esp. when the machine frezes while
the program tramples over the whole address space before hitting the
SEGV!)

I see that page, but I don't see what made you try
--with-host-libstdcxx=-lstdc++! Will maybe do a 4.9.1 with this change.

Re: ANN: GCC 4.9.0 (2014) for Max OS X Mavericks

[Simon Wright]

I'm just about ready for a 4.9.1 release with Mario's suggested
configuration change: looking good.

But I was wondering about XML/Ada.

Up to now I've been including the GPL version; however, the code in the
public SVN repo (at http://svn.eu.adacore.com/anonsvn/Dev/trunk/xmlada)
contains the GCC Runtime Library Exception.

There's a similar situation with the AWS public git repo.

Re: ANN: GCC 4.9.0 (2014) for Max OS X Mavericks

[Mario Roy]

I completed testing of various options around the segmentation issue with gnat. Below, gcc uses 2 shared objects while gnat uses 4.

$ otool -L gcc
gcc:
	/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)

$ otool -L gnat
gnat:
	/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/opt/gcc-4.9.x/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.20.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)
	/opt/gcc-4.9.x/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)


This requires make bootstrap. The --disable-bootstrap option means that gcc will look like gnat above.

Yet, an other solution, change ...
    --with-host-libstdcxx="-lstdc++"

To ...
    --with-stage1-ldflags="-lstdc++"


Here, an extract of the relevant section from the 'Makefile' after running configure.

# Linker flags to use on the host, for stage1 or when not
# bootstrapping.
STAGE1_LDFLAGS = -lstdc++

# Libraries to use on the host, for stage1 or when not bootstrapping.
STAGE1_LIBS =

# Linker flags to use for stage2 and later.
POSTSTAGE1_LDFLAGS = -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc

# Libraries to use for stage2 and later.
POSTSTAGE1_LIBS =


I am not sure why one has to specify --with-host-libstdcxx="-lstdc++" or --with-stage1-ldflags="-lstdc++" for gnat and friends to not segfault. Please consider this as a work-around. It has taken me 2 weeks to reach this point (mainly from running 2 cores).

Notice how gnat and friends are still linked to libstdc++ and libgcc_s.1 after running make bootstrap-lean.

My testing (towards the end) has been against a snapshot from the 4.9 branch.

I would highly commend including the GMGP version of XML/Ada :)

Simon would you consider having pre-built AWS and XML/Ada in your next release? It would really make things a lot easier at least for those wanting to try Gnoga :)

There is only the GPL version. The GMGPL version is most likely very out of
date now.

Re: GCC 4.9.0 (2014) for Max OS X Mavericks

[David Botton]

So could you Simon build AWS without the XML Ada dependency for it and include it?

Re: ANN: GCC 4.9.0 (2014) for Max OS X Mavericks

[Mario Roy]

I used GCC 4.9.x to build 4.8.x. After boot-strapping, noticed that gnat and friends are using /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib. The output is also the same when using 4.8.x to bootstrap a 2nd time. It is not a problem that I'm aware -- gnatmake hello.adb is working as expected.

$ otool -L gnat
gnat:
	/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 60.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)
	/opt/gcc-4.8.x/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

The --with-stage1-ldflags="-lstdc++" option is working for both 4.8.x and 4.9.x. It is nice having gnat and friends not crashing now. Hoping that one day the configure option is not necessary.

It's not GMGPL, it's GCC Runtime Library Exception.

Doesn't that work out in the end to be the same as the GMGPL?

XMLAda is delivered as part of GNAT's runtime now and with that exception and therefore should not infect any application using it with GPL.

Can anyone confirm if that is the same license being used in the GNAT Pro editions? That would further confirm practically speaking XMLAda can be used for closed development.

Yes, from a user's point of view, but They Are Not The Same.

XMLAda isn't delivered as part of GNAT's runtime (unless any Pro user
can tell us different). There are three possible sources, to my
knowledge:

(a) the one available to AdaCore Pro customers
(b) the one available as part of GNAT GPL from Libre
(c) the one available from the anonymous SVN repo

(a) probably, and (c) definitely, have the Runtime Library Exception

(b) does not (it looks as though it has been edited out of the source
    as part of the process of producing the distribution, leaving blank
    lines).

Unless you use the GPL version.

AWS would have to be configured without ASIS (so no ada2wsdl).

Identical to the SVN version, except

It builds as version 4.5.0w.

It is distributed as a part of the compiler for Gnat Pro, from 7.2.1 I
think. Or 7.1.1.

Anyway there is no separate download for it anymore

Not per se, the tools using ASIS would be GPL which is acceptable to anyone, those not are still with GPL exceptions, so would be good.

ada2wdsl is in fact pure GPL anyway, so will go ahead as suggested.
