Topic: Errors compiling julia


view this post on Zulip Mason Protter (Jun 16 2021 at 20:38):

I recently did a system upgrade and now I'm getting errors when trying to build julia from source. This is happening both on master and on earlier versions that I definitely have successfully built before, so I think the problem is on my end. Here's the end of the compile log on a fresh git clone of the repo:

Any clue what might be going wrong?

I wonder if it's a compatibility issue with GCC 11 which looks pretty new https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/

or more like libstdc++

Hm, https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gcc/ says that it was released a while ago, I think I've updated gcc more recently than that and built julia but maybe not

Is anyone else on gcc 11.1 and able to build julia?

Actually, libjulia-internal is linked to an internal libstdc++. So, I'm not sure why the build process is trying to access the header installed system-wide.

I know that @Mosè Giordano is currently working on compiling gcc11 for Yggdrasil, which should fix this.

Nice, thanks!

Yeah, if I manage to fix gcc 11 for macOS, it's an ungodly mess

view this post on Zulip Mosè Giordano (Jun 17 2021 at 01:14):

And after 4 hours of debugging I'm about to give up, the source code of GCC doesn't make any sense to me, I fail to see how things can possibly work

view this post on Zulip Mosè Giordano (Jun 17 2021 at 20:35):

For the record, I ended up opening an issue in GCC, my modest understanding is that it's broken. And the broken component (libasan) actually comes from llvm. So don't hold your breath for a fix directly in Julia anytime soon

view this post on Zulip Adam non-jedi Beckmeyer (Jun 17 2021 at 20:39):

Wait. You're telling me that even when building Julia is broken because of gcc, it's still because of llvm!? Julia and llvm certainly have a special relationship.

view this post on Zulip Mosè Giordano (Jun 17 2021 at 20:46):

Yeah, I was surprised as well, but they apparently bundle some stuff maintained in llvm-project

view this post on Zulip Mosè Giordano (Jun 17 2021 at 20:49):

In fact I was unsure where to open the issue: in gcc (I got the error when building gcc) or llvm (the code is actually maintained there)? I went with gcc for the time being and maybe I'll escalate to llvm if I don't get answers in a few days. I really don't understand how this piece of code can work at all

in case someone with more C-fu than me wants to have a look and help out, this is the issue:

functions __lsan_is_turned_off and __lsan_default_suppressions are implemented at https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/6816a44dfe1b5fa9414490a18a4aa723b6f38f18/libsanitizer/lsan/lsan_common.cpp#L1042-L1052 in a #if !SANITIZER_SUPPORTS_WEAK_HOOKS guard, so if SANITIZER_SUPPORTS_WEAK_HOOKS is 1 these functions aren't implemented at all. the problem is that these functions are used unconditionally in the same file and SANITIZER_SUPPORTS_WEAK_HOOKS on macOS with SDK >= 10.9 (we use 10.12) is 1 (https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/487be9201c96d0a5c7c325339bc9c4916e933ed8/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_internal_defs.h#L76-L78)

view this post on Zulip Mosè Giordano (Jun 17 2021 at 21:47):

to add more confusion, these symbols are annotated as weak in the header file. this seems to work when building for Linux (I can see the weak symbol is libasan.so), but not macOS :confused: :sob:

for the record, I found the error in GCC build system, fixed it in Yggdrasil and submitted the patch upstream. GCC 11 will come soon :tm: in Julia
