Bug ID: 91694 Summary: configure.ac does not correctly check for gethostname Product: gcc Version: 9.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libgomp Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: ri...@extreme-scale.com CC: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- In commit 7e5a76c87d27b72e05b0b32189e9cfafaebba6bc at: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/7e5a76c87d27b72e05b0b32189e9cfafaebba6bc configure.ac (line 283) is setup to COMPILE a program that has: #include <unistd.h> int main () { char buf[256]; if (gethostname (buf, sizeof (buf) - 1) == 0) buf[255] = '\0'; ; return 0; } The output of this (if gethostname is not defined is): tmp1.c: In function 'main': tmp1.c:7:8: warning: implicit declaration of function 'gethostname'; did you mean 'sethostname'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 7 | if (gethostname (buf, sizeof (buf) - 1) == 0) | ^~~~~~~~~~~ | sethostname And, if you link it, it will error out with: /tmp/ccYoUvKr.o: In function `main': .../libgomp/tmp1.c:7: undefined reference to `gethostname' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I think AC_COMPILE_IFELSE should be AC_LINK_IFELSE. However, I'm not sure. Can someone please comment?
