I’ve applied René method, disabling SIP while compressing /Applications. It 
gave me some significant savings, thus I surmise all the applications are not 
compressed. Xcode is, though, but things like iWorks (Pages, etc.) are not.

I am not space savings in Snow Leopard were the result of using file

in 10.6. 10.5 was the final version usable with ppc, AFAIR.

With it you can slim down fat binaries to the exact version you require

MacPorts interprets the license field as a space-separated list of valid 
license names. You should probably only list licenses known to the 
port_binary_distributable.tcl script. You can add notes about the license in a

I agree that MacPorts base only adds -stdlib=${configure.cxx_stdlib} to 
configure.cxxflags, not configure.ldflags, but that's not necessarily wrong, is 
it? If the build system just wants to link already-compiled objects, it doesn't 
need compiler flags. If the build system wants to compile and link at the same 
time, it's the build system's responsibility to add both the compiler flags 
(CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS) and the linker flags (LDFLAGS) to the compile/link command.

According to the Ars Technica review of Snow Leopard, 97% of executable files 
in Snow Leopard are compressed.

That's not what's happening in the case I had. Instead, I got a whole slew of 
missing symbol errors, mostly "standard" symbols. Whatever the reason, the C++ 
runtime library wasn't pulled in by the linker, and adding -stdlib=libc++ 
resolved that. Regardless of whether I built with or without LTO.

What still surprises me is that libc++ isn't pulled in by default (this is on 
10.9) because there is no other C++ runtime.

the latest comment that mentions it says it's a 2x slowdown (better than the 
original 10x slowdown).

As mentioned in the ticket - this is really something that needs to be 
configurable if it's added (I can see how one might want this on a small SSD, 
but I  don't want it set on my large disk array...)

Not really thrilled by the inline hex file and shelling out to run a
command pipeline before every extract either. Seems like this could be a
configure check for the system bsdtar supporting the feature instead.

I didn't review the patches - I had thought that that was how the latest one

Activating hfsCompression is still noticeably slower, and that's inevitable. 
The cost can be reduced by using an accelerated zlib, but that's a delicate 
issue on here that I'm not going to reignite. That said, I do use the 
CloudFlare patches locally, and find that the cost is perfectly acceptable once 
you take the disk savings into account. That's using a big spinning disk 
though, so the cycles lost compressing data are compensated partly by less 
cycles writing the data to disk.
In any case, the performance difference becomes something of an issue only on 
(very) large ports like Qt, where the savings are the most important. I don't 
de/reactivate (big) ports often enough for this to be an issue.

> Not really thrilled by the inline hex file and shelling out to run a

Isn't that simply a test to see if the bsdtar command found "does the trick"?

> command pipeline before every extract either

I think the system bsdtar doesn't support this on all OS X versions that do 
support hfs compression.

I've never looked in detail at how activation works without this patch; does it 
always use a temporary folder in ${prefix}/var/macports/software/${subport} 
from which items are then moved into place? If so, the easiest approach to 
making this optional would be to run a version of afsctool on the extraction 
folder. Afsctool being apparent abandonware I've developed it further, letting 
it process files in parallel. Combined with an accelerated zlib that makes fast 
enough that even a post-build compression of Qt's build.dir is insignificant 
w.r.t. to build time (for very appreciable savings).

My experience is that the second command is not needed because using
"PortGroup cxx11 1.0" fails on < 10.9 anyway (unless libc++ is

Actually -stdlib=libc++ is also needed for linking to ensure the
correct library will be linked in.

$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ -o foo foo.o

/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current

/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version

-stdlib=... is a linker flag not for ld itself, but for the clang++ to
pass the correct library to ld.

I think this should be added to configure.ldflags in the same way it is

How else would you link C++ code if not with clang/clang++?

The -stdlib=libc++ option is already specific to clang/clang++,
gcc/g++ do not understand it.

Ah, of course, now I understand what you are hinting at. At least in my
test, linking C code with -stdlib=libc++ did not add any superfluous
dependency:

$ clang -stdlib=libc++ -o foo foo.c
$ otool -L foo
foo:
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current 
version 1213.0.0)

It seems like we are getting to the point again at which a compiler
wrapper that only adds the -stdlib=... option for clang++ would be the
better way to implement this...

We also need changes to add cxx_stdlib to the parameters in

With more and more ports requiring C++11, how many ports do we have that
have a hard requirement on libstdc++? This only happens when a port
wants to link against system libraries linked with libstdc++. Such a
buildbot with "cxx_stdlib libc++" could be helpful to find these ports.

>compressed. Xcode is, though, but things like iWorks (Pages, etc.) are not.

Xcode can be slimmed down significantly by getting rid of unneeded SDKs (and 
IIRC that doesn't require you to re-codesign it).
HFS compression is unstable in the sense that it gets lost when you rewrite the 
file. That's why commands like rsync have options to preserve compression. The 
lack of a user-space command to compress files shows that it isn't really 
intended as a tool for mere mortal users to save disk space. You could say 
that's because it's not in Apple's interest (they also sell disk space) but it 
becomes a bit easier to understand when you look at afsctool.c . Applying HFS 
compression to a file isn't a trivial matter *at all*, so I've added a bit more 
failsafe protections to the version I'm using myself.

Given the disk savings it can give I really don't understand why the patch that 
adds HFS compression to port activation was never accepted.

Yes, but lots of apps and most all libraries/frameworks still had PPC code in 
them because 10.6 was the last version providing Rosetta.

-stdlib=libc++ added to configure.cxxflags but not configure.ldflags

2016-01-26 Thread René J . V . Bertin
Hi,

I just ran into a situation (building a Qt5 port) where for some reason 
-stdlib=libc++ was added to configure.cxxflags but not to configure.ldflags . 
That led to a failing final link.

I worked around the issue by adding the option myself if it is detected in 
cxxflags, but I wonder why this isn't an issue more often.

I'm running "base" 2.3.4 rev. 140804 ; the port in question is 
https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/tree/master/devel/xxdiff .
