On a somewhat related topic -- Andrei commented out the unit
tests in
biguintcore and biguintx86 (search for @@ to find them) stating
that
they fail on OSX.
They certainly pass on Windows, and they are unchanged since the
last
release. Can someone with access to OSX please uncomment them, and
confirm that they fail? If they're failing, I think it can only
mean
we have an OSX-specific wrong-code regression, which we need to
solve.
On tango, they fail on osx, since like forever, I had told you but
probably
I should have made a more formal thing about it.
I sort of submitted a bug in
http://dsource.org/projects/tango/ticket/1958
OK, sounds like the unit tests may never have passed on OSX.
BTW you can now assume that none of the Phobos devs will look at
anything related to Tango. Compiler-related bug reports need to be
added to Bugzilla.
I have always tried to reduce compiler bugs to lib independent
bugs, and
submit them
Thanks. Seems like this one just didn't copied into Bugzilla. Which is
a shame, because it's important.
This is a phobos bug, an I don't test phobos, just the compiler :)
Anyway, from looking at the code, I reckon that it's the
position-dependent code that's the problem. Is it possible that OSX
requires position independent code? I had always assumed that if it
did, D_PIC would always be set, but from looking at the compiler
source, it looks as if D_PIC is set only if it was set from the
command line.
Try going into bigintx86, and replacing "D_PIC" with "all". If the
failing tests pass, that's the problem. And unless OSX has a concept
of PIC, I think OSX should define D_PIC at all times.
Yes osx needs position independent code, I have tried to replace D_PIC
with IS_PIC and add
version(darwin){
version=IS_PIC;
}
version(D_PIC){
version=IS_PIC;
}
at the beginning of the file, but at least the tango version still
fails with
[email protected](406): Assertion
failure
