This is an ABI change, as procedures with character arguments take

Did this change not make it into gcc 7 then?


No, it caused regressions on big endian targets, and it was so late in
the gcc 7 cycle that there was no time to fix them (at the time I
didn't have access to a big endian target to test on, and getting said
access took time), so I had to revert it. Those regressions have now
been fixed, and the ABI has been broken anyway due to other changes,
so I'm trying again for gcc 8.


Okay.  If for some reason it doesn't make 8, it would be nice to know. 
I lurk here and try to pay attention but obviously I missed that it was 
pulled from 7.  (which is why I'd prefer something specific to test 
rather than a version number, but it is what it is).

  I am one of those who still
use these hidden arguments for Fortran <-> C interfaces.  Based on
discussions a year ago, I added this to my code:

#if defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ > 6)
#include 
#define FORSTR_STDARG_TYPE size_t
#else
#define FORSTR_STDARG_TYPE int
#endif

I infer from this thread that I should change this to __GNUC__ > 7 now. Is
this still the correct/best way to determine the hidden argument size?


Yes, I would say so.


(note that we're still using 4.x... ugh, don't ask... so the >6 check hasn't
actually been used yet, I just want to future-proof things as much as
possible without having to rewrite the entire Fortran <-> C interface.)

I don't expect to support format widths larger than INT_MAX.  The
reason why ptrdiff_t is used is that read_block_form_* and many
similar functions take a pointer to a ptrdiff_t (to handle the one
case where a scalar variable can be wider than INT_MAX, namely a
character), and we can't pass a pointer to an incompatible type.

Now, you could argue that the internal API should be refactored so
that we pass integers by value rather than as pointers, and then only
the character case would need to care to use a larger type and the
rest could keep using plain int. And I would agree that would be good,
but I think such a refactor would be stage 1 material, not stage 3.

Well, ptrdiff_t is one of the two "pointer-sized integer" typedefs
introduced in C89, the other being size_t. So I would argue that if
one is doing stuff like pointer arithmetic, or calculating array
indices etc., and the variable might for some reason be negative,
ptrdiff_t is the natural type to use. I do agree that ptrdiff_t is a
bit of a mouthful, but I don't have any really good alternatives
either; I'm not convinced that a libgfortran-specific typedef would
make things clearer.

Or we can blame Microsoft which made win64 LLP64 and not LP64 like the
rest of the world, and thus spoiled the use of long for portable code.
:)

FWIW, we have "index_type" which is a typedef for ptrdiff_t, but
that's used mostly in code that deals with array descriptors, so I
thought it would be cleaner to not use it here.

Well I have started reviewing.  One concern I have is that in many places you
are changing formatted field widths, like w in read_l, to ptrdiff_t.  I don't
think this is necessary. If someone is printing a value that has a field width
that big, it will never finish.

I did not check the definitions of format data structures that use these values
all over.  So I think in the least, the patch goes too far.

Another issue I have is that the readability of the code just sucks to me. The
type ptrdiff_t is so not intuitive in a very many places.  If this is really
necessary lets hide it behind  a macro or something so I don't have to cringe
every time I look at this code. (such as gfc_int)

Sometimes we can get too pedantic about things like this. A lot of these
variables have nothing to do with pointers, though they may be used as modifiers
to offsets in large memory spaces.

I need a day or two to go through all of this. Sorry if I am just a downer 
about it.

Jerry

Hi Janne,


attached is a patch that makes the two attached testcases work. It
applies on top of the charlen->size_t patch. In the formatted I/O
stuff, I have mostly used ptrdiff_t to avoid having to deal with
signed/unsigned issues, as the previous code was using int.


Did you regression-test?

If yes, I'd say this patch is OK (all the changes look obvious
enough).

With this, your character length patch is also OK. We can then
open individual PRs for the other issues.

However, I'd ask you to wait for a day or so with committing

Hi Janne,


FWIW, by changing your example to use unformatted I/O, it works
correctly.


Not for me (again, on gcc110):

program main
  character(len=2_8**33), parameter :: a = ""
  write (10) a
end program main

with strace results in

open("fort.10", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=8, ...}) = 0
write(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
ftruncate(3, 8) = 0
close(3)= 0

I would prefer we split into two patches. This will make review of the library
I/O changes easier. The int len is used in a lot of places also where it really
happens to also be the kind (which is a length in our implementation).

Janne I trust your judgment about where it makes sense to change to size_t.

On Thomas earlier comment about adding a pointer to void to hold space for
async. I am OK with this too, though I am not convinced we have really defined
our async objective here.  More later on that topic.

Fair enough. I took a look at the I/O example you provided, and at
least that particular case is not due to an ABI issue, but rather that
the formatted I/O stuff inside libgfortran extensively uses int for
lengths. I managed to hack around it quickly to make your testcase
work, but a proper fix, while straightforward, implies fixing up the
types a bit more. But still only in the internals, the external ABI
visible interface is ok.

I can provide that stuff as a separate patch, or merge it into the
original megapatch and resubmit that, whichever way you prefer.

FWIW, by changing your example to use unformatted I/O, it works
correctly. And as unformatted uses the same library entry points for
transferring the data, this is thus further evidence that the problem
is in the internals of the formatted I/O rather than in the ABI.

Hi Janne,


To be honest, I haven't really done much testing with big strings, so
far my focus has been on getting the existing testsuite to pass and
getting the ABI right.


I agree that some of the test cases can be fixed later. However, I
would really prefer if the I/O worked, because that is very basic
functionality, but also because this is (likely to be) an ABI issue.
If this bug remains unfixed for any reason at all, then we are left with
no choice but to break the ABI when we fix that bug. I would like to
avoid that, if possible.

By the way, we also should forsee a few more ABI-breaking things
while we're at it. We should

- Put a "reserved" field in the array descriptor for things like
  "did this come from an ALLOCATE statement or not", there is a PR
  for this
- Put a pointer to void into the I/O structures, which we are certain
  to need for async I/O
- Increase the maximum number of array dimensions to 15, as per f2008
- Insert a "BACK" argument in minloc, maxloc, minval, maxval, even
  if we do not use it at the moment


As the library ABI has been broken for GCC 8
already by other changes, I'd like to piggyback this ABI change in for
the GCC 8 release as well. As the patch is already pretty big as is,
I'd prefer that other fixes to enable big strings would be done as
separate patches rather than trying to make everything perfect on the
first try.


I tend to concur for the other bugs, but not for the I/O issue.

Thanks for testing!

To be honest, I haven't really done much testing with big strings, so
far my focus has been on getting the existing testsuite to pass and
getting the ABI right. As the library ABI has been broken for GCC 8

Slightly related to your testcases, I think it would make sense to
create some separate "GFortran huge" testsuite, where we could collect
testcases that need lots of memory, or cpu time, or disk space and can
thus not be part of the default testsuite.

Re: [PATCH] PR 78534 Change character length from int to size_t

2017-12-30 Thread Thomas Koenig

Hi Janne,


In order to handle large character lengths on (L)LP64 targets, switch
the GFortran character length from an int to a size_t.


Just running some tests on gcc110 (the big-endian PPC machine from
the compile farm).

Something does not seem to work with I/O with long strings.

With

program main
  character(len=2_8**33), parameter :: a = ""
  character(len=2_8**33) :: b
  print '(A),a
  b = ""
  print '(A)',b
end program main

I get

$ strace ./a.out > /dev/null
...
write(1, "\n", 1)   = 1
write(1, "\n", 1)   = 1

so I suspect there still is a 32-bit quantity for string lengths
lurking somewhere in the I/O library.

The following program causes a segfault on compilation:

program main
  integer(8), parameter :: n=2_8**32
  character(len=*), parameter :: a1 = repeat('x',n)

The program

program main
  integer(8), parameter :: n=2_8**32
  character(len=n), parameter :: a1 = repeat('x',n), a2 = repeat('y',n)
  character(len=*), parameter :: a3 = a1 // a2

That's all I could find for the moment. I will continue looking.

Since David had problems with module generation, I took a look at the
parts of the patch that changes module.c, and found a few places for
improvements. module.c is a collection of all the ugly type punning
tricks one can think of, in particular wrongly punning to a wider type
might cause a different result on a big endian machine, whereas on a
little endian it would apparently just work.. So could you also try
the attached small patch on top of the previous one?

(I also sent Laurent Guerby an email requesting an account on the compile farm).

 Patch approved. The old code used gfc_extract_int, which bails out if a 
 non-constant expression is passed, so this is the right thing to do.

[snip]

I was finally able to get a 32-bit i686 compiler going (my attempts to
do this on a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu host failed, in the end I resorted to
running 32-bit builds/tests on a i686 container). At least on i686,
the patch below on top of the big charlen->size_t patch fixes the
failures:

So what happened was that without the EXPR_CONSTANT check, I was
accessing uninitialized memory (for some reason probably due to memory
layout or such, this didn't cause failures on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).

Also, I found a couple of additional places where gfc_charlen_int_kind
should be used instead of gfc_default_integer_kind which is included
in the patch above, although AFAICT they have nothing to do with the
testcase failures.

Unless there are objections, I'll commit the fixed patch in a few days.

Yes, I'm surprised, and I don't understand it yet. I'm planning to

I believe including this in the (yet to be created) gcc-7/porting_to.html,
would be great.

Historically the porting_to.html documents have mostly covered C and 
C++, since that is the source language of the majority of packages in 
a GNU/Linux distribution that GCC touches.  Adding more focus on
Fortran users as well feels like a good idea, though.

(If you want to go ahead, but prefer the page to be created first,

I can confirm this. Being responsible for adding the _len component for char
arrays in unlimited polymorphic objects. This is the only use case where the
_len component is used to my knowledge. The separation should have been:

- _size: store the size in bytes of a single character
- _len: the number of characters stored in the char array in the unlimited
  polymorphic object.

Unfortunately there were some case, which Janne also experienced, where these go
stray. I at least succeeded to remove the length from the vtab's-name that is
generated for storing in the unlimited polymorphic object. Over time I hope to
get the separation of concerns correctly modeled as told above, but for the
time being we have to stick with _size have the array size sometimes. I think
that is the case when a fixed length char array is stored in the unlimited
polymorphic object.

Andre

No worries. I included this in the updated charlen-size_t patch I

The _size member is the size of the object; for polymorphic objects
the size isn't known at compile time, so it is to be stored in the
vtable (in principle, since the vtable tells the exact class of a
polymorphic object, it should be possible to figure out the size
without an explicit _size member, but I'll let the OOP experts handle
that, if they want). There is another vtable member _len which is used
for character lengths, and that is indeed of type
gfc_charlen_type_node.

I think when the dust settles, I might make sense to get rid of
gfc_charlen_type_node/gfc_charlen_type and just use
size_type_node/size_t also for string lengths, but at least for now I
think it's clearer to use separate names.

This is, well, a leftover from my attempts to make
gfc_charlen_type_node an alias for size_type_node, an unsigned type.
Since the gfc_typespec doesn't understand unsigned integers, it had to
be extended in some fashion.  You can see that the check in arith.c
checks that the charlen is in the range [0,
TYPE_MAX_VALUE(gfc_charlen_type_node)], which the "normal" check isn't
able to do.

So strictly speaking it's not necessary, as long as
gfc_charlen_type_node is a signed integer.

OTOH, if/when one wants to make gfc_charlen_type_node unsigned,
perhaps some more far-reaching changes are needed and that work is not
necessary anymore. Say, introducing BT_UNSIGNED_INTEGER (??) and
teaching gfc_typespec to handle unsigned integers? Or maybe it's
better to put a tree node specifying the type in the typespec and use
that instead of the bt type + kind to tell what type it is?

Do you want me to remove that for the time being?

These changes are similar to the above, i.e. a check that uses
get_type_static_bounds() and works also if gfc_charlen_type_node is
changed to be an unsigned type.

Ah, I hadn't noticed that. As one can see, it's a pre-existing issue,
but I might as well fix it when I'm changing that line. Will do.

> - in intrinsics/extends_type_of.c, use gfc_charlen_type instead of size_t

As I explained earlier, this is because the size member is the size of
the object rather than the charlen, so I think it should stay a
size_t.

Same here.

Yes, but... the issue is that gfc_get_int_expr uses mpz_set_si, so
can't handle more than long anyway. But hmm, maybe that typecast
should be removed anyway, so that when/if gfc_get_int_expr is fixed
this would be automatically fixed as well.

2016-12-26 Thread FX
Hi Janne,

Thanks for the patch, it is hard and tedious work. Here is the formal review. I 
don’t want to be a pain, but I have several questions about the patch, and 
given its size and the importance I think we should be double-sure :)


> I also changed the _size member in vtables from int to size_t, as
> there were some cases where character lengths and sizes were
> apparently mixed up and caused regressions otherwise. Although I
> haven't tested, this might enable very large derived types as well.

Regarding that one, why are you making it an explicit size_t and not a charlen 
type? I know the two will be the same, at least for now, but given that it’s 
explicitly a character length we should use that variable type. This is a 
preexisting issue with the front-end and library, where we generally use a mix 
of types (because they end up being the same anyway, such as C int and 
GFC_INTEGER_4).

Regarding the introduction of is_charlen in gfc_typespec, I am unclear as to 
why it is needed. It is used exclusively in arith.c, which is not where we 
should be checking character lengths I think. It is visible by the fact that we 
normally shouldn’t need access to middle-end headers (tree.h and trans-types.h) 
at that level. So, can’t we make the check where we currently do it, i.e. later 
when we translate the constant string? That sounds more reasonable that 
introducing a new special-cased entity.

There are other cases (resolve.c, simplify.c) where you introduce a dependency 
on middle-end entities (tree.h, trans-types.h) in what are pure Fortran 
front-end stages. This breaks the separation that currently exists, and which I 
strongly think we should keep.



** libgfortran **

- in io/write.c, the “for” clauses in in namelist_write() have weird spacing 
around their semicolons (i.e. space should be after, not before)
- in intrinsics/extends_type_of.c, use gfc_charlen_type instead of size_t 
vtype->size

** front-end **

- class.c: use gfc_charlen_int_kind instead of gfc_size_kind
- class.c, in find_intrinsic_vtab(): in the call to gfc_get_int_expr, the third 
argument cannot be cast from (size_t) to (long), as this would fail on LLP64 
hosts
- expr.c, regarding gfc_extract_long(): we could definitely extract an host 
wide int or an mpz value. This new function is called twice: once in 
resolve_charlen() where we could use the GMP function mpz_sgn() to check if the 
constant value is negative; the second time in gfc_simplify_repeat, where we 
should simply bail out (return NULL) if the integer is too big to fit into a 
long (we would bail out a few lines later anyway, see “semi-arbitrary limit”).
- iresolve.c, extra space after NULL in call to gfc_get_int_expr() in 
gfc_resolve_repeat()
- match.c, in select_intrinsic_set_tmp(), charlen should be a gfc_charlen_t and 
mpz_get_si will break for long string sizes
- in resolve.c, like in arith.c, we should not use tree.h and trans-types.h. We 
should do the comparison by looking at integer kinds, not through the 
charlen_type_node
- in resolve.c, in resolve_select_type(), another case of mpz_get_si() that 
will break for long string sizes
- in simplify.c, again, we should not use tree.h and trans-types.h
- trans-decl.c seems like unrelated changes
- trans-types.h: why do we now need to include trans.h?


Thanks again for working on that!

Yes. Which is better than not being able to inline, assuming the

Probably yes, in this case. My performance worries were more about the
general case. But perhaps they are unfounded, IDK really. Does anybody
have a battery of string operation benchmarks that mirrors how real
Fortran code does string handling?

Anyway, the attached patch accomplishes that. It turns the tree dump I
showed two days ago into something like

  {
integer(kind=8) D.3484;
unsigned long D.3485;

D.3484 = *_p;
D.3485 = (unsigned long) D.3484 + 18446744073709551608;
if (D.3484 != 0)
  {
__builtin_memmove ((void *) *p, (void *) &"12345679"[1]{lb: 1
sz: 1}, MIN_EXPR <(unsigned long) D.3484, 8>);
if ((unsigned long) D.3484 > 8)
  {
__builtin_memset ((void *) *p + 8, 32, D.3485);
  }
  }
  }

and gets rid of the -Wstringop-overflow warning. (It causes a two new
testsuite failures (gfortran.dg/dependency_49.f90 and
gfortran.dg/transfer_intrinsic_1.f90), but those are just tests that
grep for patterns in the .original dump and need to be adjusted).

If that is Ok, do you prefer it as part of the charlen-size_t patch,
or would you (GFortran maintainers in general) prefer that it's a
separate patch?

I don't get that. From the former only one of the memmove's could have been
inlined assuming that only CONSTANT sizes are inlined. The other one had a
NON-CONSTANT as long as pointer following and constant propagation was not
effective together. In our case the "NON-CONSTANT branch" would have been used,
which is resolved by constant propagation (of the size of constant memory p
points to). I assume the warning is triggered, because dead-code elimination
has not removed the else part. 

Following this thought the MIN_EXPR would be propagated to 5 and the inliner
can do its magic. Albeit it may be that now some other optimization level will
trigger a warning, because some part has not been removed/constant replaced.
What do you think of that?

Now when I think about this some more, I have a vague recollection
that a long time ago it used to be something like that.  The problem
is that MIN_EXPR will of course be
NON-CONSTANT, so the memcpy call can't be inlined. Hence it was
changed to two separate __builtin_memmove() calls to have better
opportunity to inline. So probably a no-go to change it back. :(

That looks interesting. It assumes though, that D.3598 will *never* be
negative. Because when it is negative 8 characters (cast to unsigned makes the
negative number huge) will be copied, while in the former code memmove will
reject the coping of a negative number of bytes. Therefore I propose to omit
the cast in the MIN_EXPR and make the constant 8 signed, too. That should
comply and mimick the former behavior more closely. What do you think? Who's

I suspect it's complaining about (from the -fdump-tree-original):

  {
integer(kind=8) D.3598;
unsigned long D.3599;

D.3598 = *_p;
D.3599 = (unsigned long) D.3598 + 18446744073709551608;
if (D.3598 != 0)
  {
if ((unsigned long) D.3598 <= 8)
  {
__builtin_memmove ((void *) *p, (void *)
&"12345679"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1}, (unsigned long) D.3598);
  }
else
  {
__builtin_memmove ((void *) *p, (void *)
&"12345679"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1}, 8);
__builtin_memset ((void *) *p + 8, 32, D.3599);
  }
  }
  }

Here p is the character variable, and _p is the charlen. My guess is
that the problem is that with -O1 it sees that the second memmove
would overflow p, but it doesn't realize that branch is never taken.
Cranking up the optimization level to -O2 and beyond makes it realize
it, and thus the warning disappears.

Perhaps one could rewrite that to something like

__builtin_memmove ((void *) *p, (void *) &"12345679"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1},
MIN_EXPR<(unsigned long) D.3598,8>);
if ((unsigned long) D.3598 > 8)
  {
  __builtin_memset ((void*) *p + 8, 32, D.3599);
  }


?

No, that warning isn't at all bogus. The warning in fact is astonishingly
precise. When I remember correctly, then the warning complains about trying to
put a string of length 8 into memory of length 5. There is never a memory
access error at runtime, because the code generated ensures that only 5 chars

If you want to make a patch introducing gfc_size_t_zero_node, go
ahead, at least I won't object.  I don't think
build_zero_cst(size_type_node) is that terrible myself, but I don't
have any hard opinions on this.

I have just verified that my fix for PR 78867 fixes the -flto failures
Dominique noticed. I have some other minor cleanup to do to the
charlen->size_t patch, and then I'll resubmit it.

But yes, I'm still seeing the warning messages with -O1 for
allocate_deferred_char_scalar_1.f03. AFAICT it's a bogus warning, but
I don't know how to get rid of it..

Hi all,

so I have learned that proposing to write "speaking code" is not very well
taken.

Anyway, there is a patch (in two parts) hanging about changing the character

Well, then how about:

#define gfc_size_t_zero_node build_int_cst (size_type_node, 0)

We can't get any faster and for new and old gfortran-hackers one identifier's
meaning is faster to grasp than two's.

built_int_cst (size_type_node, 0) is actually faster than build_zero_cst,
one fewer level of indirection.
The 0 constant is cached in the type itself, so it actually in the end
is basically just:
return TREE_VEC_ELT (TYPE_CACHED_VALUES (type), 1);

Adding a variable to hold gfc_size_t_zero_node would mean you'd need to add
a GC root to hold it.

Note, sizetype should be still what is usually used, only if you in the ABI
have something declared as C size_t, then size_type_node should be used.

I am still wondering if it does not make sense to have something like
gfc_size_t_zero_node to prevent us from repeating build_zero_cst
(size_type_node) all the time. I had to use it 16 times, i.e., 16 times the
code for building a zero size type node is generated instead of a reference to
a "constant". And I don't want to know how often size_zero_node is used in the
wrong location.

The first one is GCC internal type for representing sizes, the latter is
the C size_t (usually they have the same precision, they always have the
same signedness (unsigned)).
In the past sizetype actually has been a signed type with very special
behavior.

In the software design classes I took this was called a design error: Not
choosing sufficiently different names for different artifacts. It was
considered a beginner's error.

So now I have to repeat myself 16 times only to work around this b***. Nothing
that will improve gfortran's maintainability.

Re: [PATCH] PR 78534 Change character length from int to size_t

2016-12-20 Thread FX
Dear Bob,

First, regarding the ABI vs. API question: there is no consistent API for how 
to pass between Fortran and C strings, unless one uses Fortran 2003’s 
ISO_C_BINDING. It’s an ABI detail, in the sense that every compiler will choose 
to do things their own way: most compilers who pass a hidden length parameter, 
although its size (32-bit or 64-bit or size_t) and position (either after the 
char pointer, or at the end of the argument list) are variable between 
compilers. So, any code that does this is already compiler-specific.

Second, there are good reasons we might want to change this. One is possible 
use cases (although there are few, by definition, because we simply don’t 
support those right now). The second one is compatibility with C 
string-handling functions, who operate on size_t arguments, which means we can 
now use those functions without casting types around all the time.

Finally, if we’re making this change, we welcome any feedback on how to make it 
as easy as possible to handle in user code. Documentation, preprocessor macros, 
etc.

In particular, one of the things we will need to address is on helping widely 
used code to adapt to the change, so that. One example I am thinking of, that 
uses old-style C/Fortran interfaces, is MPI libraries (openmpi & mpich). We 
definitely need to test those to make sure nothing breaks if we are going to 
proceed — or they need to be fixed upstream well before we release, and with 
due note of the incompatibility in our release notes.

It's one thing to break the ABI between the compiler and the gfortran
library; those can generally be expected to be in sync.  It's another to
break the ABI between two *languages*, when there might be no such
expectation (especially if gcc does NOT break their ABI at the same version

but it is a de-facto standard, and breaking it should not be done lightly.


First: No, it's not done "lightly". And secondly, cross-language
interfacing is always tricky, which is why most languages, including
Fortran with ISO_C_BINDING, have devised standardized ways for
communication with C so users don't need to rely on various cross-call
mechanisms that are not guaranteed to work.


Apologies if I offended (and to Steve too).  I see all the deliberation 
you're doing for breaking the language->library ABI, and appreciate 
that.  It's well-justified.  My point, however, is that with this change 
you are breaking an entirely *different* ABI - that between Fortran and 
C - and the sum total of discussion was one message from Janne pointing 
out that it was breaking (thanks for that heads-up, I had missed it!), 
with no followup.  Janne, you yourself in that message questioned the 
need for large strings, and had no use cases in response to FX's inquiry.


Now that I think about it, it's not even an ABI change, it's an API 
change... requiring a code change, not just a recompile.


So in this case, this change represents (AFAIK) the only breakage in the 
old-style Fortran<->C ABI/API, with no known use cases... and thus my 
question about whether it's justified.  It's a fair question.  I'm not 
arguing the language->library ABI at all.



C changed to use size_t for string lengths instead of int with ANSI C
in, what, 1989.  With 2-socket servers, typically used e.g. in HPC
clusters, today easily having hundreds of gigs of RAM, limiting
GFortran char lengths to 2 GB for all eternity in the name of
compatibility seems quaint at best. Maybe in your organization Fortran
is legacy code that YE SHALL NOT TOUCH, but GFortran also has to cater
to users who have chosen to write new code in Fortran.


I understand that.  It just seems that opening up an entirely *new* 
ABI/API for breakage deserved a little more discussion.  Y'all are the 
ones doing the (mostly volunteer) work on gfortran, and I appreciate it. 
 You're also much more invested in the future of the language than I 
(yeah, it's mostly legacy code for us).  If you end up deciding that it 
needs to be done, then I'll deal with it.  I just wanted to chime in 
that there are users who will be affected.  If I'm the only one, I 
wouldn't want to stand in the way of progress - but also don't want to 
get steamrolled if it's not an important change, or if there are other 
affected users.


So... ARE there any other affected users out there??


Oh, you have macros rather than hard-coded int all over the place?
Shouldn't it be a relatively trivial affair then to define that macro
appropriately depending on which compiler and which version you're
using?


I wouldn't call it trivial by any means... it's tricky code I haven't 
had to look at in 10 years.  But in the end, probably doable.



Steve showed how you can do it for Fortran. From the C side, just
check the version from the __GNUC__ macro.


I dislike having to check for version numbers (feels kludgy) but that's 
a personal preference.  That will probably work, with a bit of futzing.

First: No, it's not done "lightly". And secondly, cross-language
interfacing is always tricky, which is why most languages, including
Fortran with ISO_C_BINDING, have devised standardized ways for
communication with C so users don't need to rely on various cross-call
mechanisms that are not guaranteed to work.

That the charlen is a hidden argument added at the end of type int is
AFAIK a fairly common implementation choice, though I'm not sure if it
can be called a de-facto standard.  Considering that Intel Fortran has
switched to size_t several years ago (5-ish?), and AFAIU it's the most
used Fortran compiler around in addition to GFortran, and the world
hasn't crashed down due to it, I suspect users can adapt to the change
with relatively little drama.

That gcc would change it's ABI at all, and especially in conjunction
with gfortran, is a pipe dream.

C changed to use size_t for string lengths instead of int with ANSI C
in, what, 1989.  With 2-socket servers, typically used e.g. in HPC

Well, if you add the option to use size_t you should be able to use
ifort as well. :)

Yeah, I think that's the best idea.

Another option would be to implement some kind of
-fcharacter-length=[int,size_t] command-line option. But that would
make the patch a lot more complicated since one would need to typecast
the character length argument when calling libgfortran. And, you'd
still have to have some version-dependent checks to see if gfortran
would accept that option. And like other similar options like
-fdefault-this-or-that it would change the ABI, so code compiled with
that option would be incompatible with code compiled without it. So in
the end I'm not convinced such an option would actually make life any
easier for our users.

AFAIK there is no ABI change planned for gcc. For better or worse, the
C language is relatively stable and doesn't change much.

Well, then you ought to be aware the ABI cleanup page on the wiki,
where the char length issue has been listed for, what, 5 years or so,
so it can't really be a surprise that it will happen at some point,
can it...?

Do you really think that those of us who actively contribute to 
gfortran development take breaking the ABI lightly?  We have put 
off changes to gfortran's library for several years to specifically 
avoid ABI breakage.  It seems that there is never a "Good Time" to
break the ABI.  However, in this case, support for F2008 9.6.4.8,
Defined Input/Output, necessitates a change in the ABI.  Instead of
breaking the ABI multiple times, it has been decided to try to cleanup
some long standing issues with libgfortran.

As the breakage is going to occur with gfortran 7.0, you do

% cat a.F90
#if defined(__GFORTRAN__) && (__GNUC__ > 6)
print *, '7'
#else
print *, 'not 7'
#endif
end
% gfc7 -E a.F90 | cat -s
] gfc7 -E a.F90 | cat -s
# 1 "a.F90"
# 1 ""
# 1 ""
# 1 "a.F90"

print *, '7'

end
% gfortran6 -E a.F90 | cat -s
# 1 "a.F90"
# 1 ""
# 1 ""
# 1 "a.F90"

print *, 'not 7'

end

There is never a good time.  If we are to wait for gcc, should
we remove support for Defined Input/Output from the compiler?

We do a ton of this (old fashioned c-fortran binding) and changing the string 
length argument size will have a big impact on us.  We don't use the Intel 
compiler so we never noticed a change there.

Is there really a use case for strings > 2 GB that justifies the breakage?  I certainly 
understand wanting to do it "right" but I'm probably not the only one with 
practical considerations that argue against it if there are no compelling use cases.

Ok, thanks for the hint. I haven't tested with -flto.  Do you just run
it with something like

CFLAGS="-flto" make -j $NCPUS check-fortran

or how do you do it?

I don't have lldb, but I guess I can see roughly the same with gdb..

I think you should use build_zero_cst(size_type_node) instead of
size_zero_node as size_zero_node is of type sizetype which is not the
same as size_type_node. Otherwise looks good.

And yes, I think it makes sense to use size_t directly instead of
introducing the GFortran specific gfc_charlen_type typedef.

Hi Janne,

I have applied your two patches and found that I had to skip the patches for 
resolve.c and match.c due to the errors

../../p_work/gcc/fortran/resolve.c: In function 'void 
resolve_select_type(gfc_code*, gfc_namespace*)':
../../p_work/gcc/fortran/resolve.c:8731:58: error: format '%lld' expects 
argument of type 'long long int', but argument 4 has type 'long int' 
[-Werror=format=]
  gfc_basic_typename (c->ts.type), charlen, c->ts.kind);

and

../../p_work/gcc/fortran/match.c: In function 'gfc_symtree* 
select_intrinsic_set_tmp(gfc_typespec*)':
../../p_work/gcc/fortran/match.c:5786:55: error: format '%lld' expects argument 
of type 'long long int', but argument 4 has type 'long int' [-Werror=format=]
   gfc_basic_typename (ts->type), charlen, ts->kind);

while the patch for dump-parse-tree.c was needed.

With the patches applied I see several failures in the test suite compiled with 
‘-m64 -flto’, but not with ‘-m32 -flto’ of the kind

Re: [PATCH] PR 78534 Change character length from int to size_t

2016-12-16 Thread Andre Vehreschild
Hi Janne, hi all,

as promised please find attached the change from int32 to size_t for the
caf-libraries. Because the caf-libraries do not require special notions
indicated by negative values I went for using size_t there. I assume this will
be easier to keep in sync for all caf-libraries, because the size_t is
available on all modern platforms. I also took the liberty to fix the
specifiers in trans-decl for the caf-function-declarations and update the
documentation on the caf-functions in gfortran.texi where some parameters where
missing.

These additional changes bootstrap fine and induce no new regressions on
x86_64-linux/f23.

I am still not sure, whether we shouldn't address the regression in
allocate_deferred_char_scalar_1. I did some research, but could not yet come to
a practical solution. The backend somehow deduces that the memory pointed to
has size 5 only. But I haven't found a way to do this in the front end.

Comments on these changes?

- Andre

Hi,

attached is the updated patch that applies on top of the original. I
didn't do the charlen_zero_node etc, I just fixed the relatively few
places in my previous patch rather than everywhere in the entire
frontend.

Now that the git mirror is working again, I see though those warnings
with -O1 from gfortran.dg/allocate_deferred_char_scalar_1.f03 are
still there, and Paul's patch didn't get rid of them. :(. I have
looked at the tree dumps, however, and AFAICS it's a bogus warning.

Ok for trunk?

Yes. AFAIU size_zero_node is a zero constant for sizetype which is not
the same as size_type_node.

AFAIK the difference is that size_type_node is the C size_t type,
whereas sizetype is a GCC internal type used for address expressions.
On a "normal" target I understand that they are the same size, but
there are some slight differences in semantics, e.g. size_type_node
like C unsigned integer types is defined to wrap around on overflow
whereas sizetype is undefined on overflow.

I don't know if GCC supports some strange targets with some kind of
segmented memory where the size of sizetype would be different from
size_type_node, but I guess it's possible in theory at least.

That being said, now that you mention in I should be using
build_zero_cst (some_type_node) instead of
build_int_cst(some_type_node, 0). There's also build_one_cst that I
should use.

Ah, thanks for the catch. I'll fix it by using HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_DEC
since I'll have to change gfc_charlen_t to be a typedef form
HOST_WIDE_INT (see my answer to FX).

We do a ton of this (old fashioned c-fortran binding) and changing the string 
length argument size will have a big impact on us.  We don't use the Intel 
compiler so we never noticed a change there.

Is there really a use case for strings > 2 GB that justifies the breakage?  I 
certainly understand wanting to do it "right" but I'm probably not the only one 
with practical considerations that argue against it if there are no compelling 
use cases.

As Andre mentioned, the ABI has already been broken, Gfortran 7 will
have libgfortran.so.4.

However, this will also affect people doing C->Fortran calls the
old-fashioned way without ISO_C_BINDING, as they will have to change
the string length argument from int to size_t in their prototypes.
Then again, Intel Fortran did this some years ago so I guess at least
people who care about portability to several compilers are aware.

> And do we have real-life examples of character strings larger than 2 GB?

Well, people who have needed such will have figured out some
work-around since we haven't supported it, so how would we know? :) It
could be splitting the data into several strings, or switching to
ifort, using C instead of Fortran, or something else.

In any case, I don't expect characters larger than 2 GB to be common
(particularly with the Fortran standard-mandated behaviour of
space-padding to the end in many cases), but as the ABI has been
broken anyways, we might as well fix it.

IIRC at some point there was some discussion of this on
comp.lang.fortran, and somebody mentioned analysis of genomic data as
a use case where large characters can be useful. I don't have any
personal usecase though, at least at the moment.

I tried it, but in addition to the issue with negative characters used
as flag values, there's issues like we have stuff such as
gfc_get_int_expr() that take a kind value, and an integer constant,
and produces a gfc_expr. But that doesn't understand stuff like
unsigned types. So in the end I decided it's better to get this patch
in working shape and merged with the ABI changes, then one can fix the
unsigned-ness later (in the end it's just a factor of two in sizes we
can handle, so not a huge deal).

True. Although things like gfc_charlen_type_node should be correct for
the target, the type gfc_charlen_t that I introduced in the frontend
might be too small if one is doing a 32->64 bit cross-compile. So that
should be changed from a typedef of ptrdiff_t to a typedef of
HOST_WIDE_INT which AFAIK is guaranteed to be 64-bit everywhere.

> In iresolve.c, the "Why is this fixup needed?” comment is kinda scary.

Hmm, I think it's a leftover from some earlier experimentation, should
be removed.

No, the co-array intrinsics are, well, intrinsics, so they're handled
specially in the frontend and don't need to follow the normal
argument-passing conventions. But I think it'd be easier if they did,
and might prevent some obscure corner-case bugs. Say, create a
character variable with length 2**31+9, then typecasting to plain int
when calling the intrinsic would wrap around and the library would see
a negative length.

Hi Janne,

This is an ABI change, so it is serious… it will require people to recompile 
older code and libraries with the new compiler. Do we already plan to break the 
ABI in this cycle, or is this the first ABI-breaking patch of the cycle? And do 
we have real-life examples of character strings larger than 2 GB?

> although in the runtime library it really is size_t.

First, I thought: we should really make it size_t, and have the negative values 
be well-defined constants, e.g. (size_t) -1

On the other hand, there is the problem of the case where the front-end has 
different size_t than the target: think 32-bit on 64-bit i386 (front-end size_t 
larger than target size_t), or cross-compiling for 64-bit on a 32-bit machine 
(front-end size_t smaller than target size_t). So the charlen type bounds need 
to be determined when the front-end runs, not when it is compiled (i.e. it is 
not a fixed type).

In iresolve.c, the "Why is this fixup needed?” comment is kinda scary.

Won’t that mean that coarray programs will fail due to ABI mismatch?
