tag 381662 + help thanks Hi,
xulrunner is failing to build on alpha, and with both escher and goedel being locked down, I have no access to an alpha machine to at least understand the issue. The error itself is make[5]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/xulrunner-1.8.0.4/extensions/python/xpcom/src' ErrorUtils.cpp c++ -o ErrorUtils.o -c -fvisibility=hidden -DMOZILLA_INTERNAL_API -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.6.14\" -DOSARCH=\"Linux\" -DBUILD_ID=0000000000 -I/usr/include/python2.3 -I../../../../dist/include/xpcom -I../../../../dist/include/string -I../../../../dist/include/pyxpcom -I../../../../dist/include -I../../../../dist/include/nspr -fPIC -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -mieee -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ../../../../mozilla-config.h -Wp,-MD,.deps/ErrorUtils.pp ErrorUtils.cpp PyGBase.cpp c++ -o PyGBase.o -c -fvisibility=hidden -DMOZILLA_INTERNAL_API -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.6.14\" -DOSARCH=\"Linux\" -DBUILD_ID=0000000000 -I/usr/include/python2.3 -I../../../../dist/include/xpcom -I../../../../dist/include/string -I../../../../dist/include/pyxpcom -I../../../../dist/include -I../../../../dist/include/nspr -fPIC -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -mieee -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ../../../../mozilla-config.h -Wp,-MD,.deps/PyGBase.pp PyGBase.cpp PyGBase.cpp: In member function 'nsresult PyG_Base::InvokeNativeGetViaPolicy(const char*, PyObject**)': PyGBase.cpp:613: error: no matching function for call to 'PyG_Base::InvokeNativeViaPolicyInternal(char [256], PyObject**&, int, int)' PyGBase.cpp:563: note: candidates are: nsresult PyG_Base::InvokeNativeViaPolicyInternal(const char*, PyObject**, const char*, va_list) make[5]: *** [PyGBase.o] Error 1 The code at PyGBase.cpp:613 reads: ret = InvokeNativeViaPolicyInternal(buf, ppResult, nsnull, nsnull); which seems to indicate that the compiler is considering nsnull as an int. nsnull is defined in xpcom/base/nscore.h as: #define nsnull 0 It'd look like a int vs. pointer size difference, but in such a case, I'd assume it would also fail to build on ia64, amd64... which is not the case. Moreover, NULL is defined as 0 as well in system headers, so it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe it's the va_args implementation on alpha that somehow differs ? I'd have liked to try to reproduce the problem with a simple testcase but without access to an alpha machine... and I don't really want to waste buildd time with successive uploads until i somehow find a fix. So, if someone could either take a look at the issue or give me an access to an alpha machine, that would be appreciated.
