[cfe-commits] Update Cortex-A9 buildslaves

[David Tweed]

Right, the situation is more complex than I thought. Using the same triple
as the ubuntu gcc was compiled with fixes (in the "right" way) some of the
regression test failures. However, a just completed run of the full
regression tests has shown it causes about 50 new failures within clang. I
need to look at these to see why this change has occurred, but I think it's
probably best not to change the triple just yet.

In general, while the interaction between the clang driver search mechanism
and the pre-existing gcc installation is, I suspect, always going to be
complex and ad-hoc, at the moment there's no integrated gives no feedback
about how all these checks have influenced the paths it knows about, etc.
I'm not sure if this is something worth trying to address.

Thanks,
David

Hi, I haven't quite completed my internal testing yet, but since you're
making modifications to the buildbots:

according to

http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-native-arm-cortex-a9/builds/3118/ste
ps/configure/logs/stdio

you're configuring with armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi. Could you change that
to armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf please? I've been digging into some clang
failures and I think that this configuration used to match the debian/ubuntu
gcc configuration, then at some point debian/ubuntu changed their
configuration, especially for gcc. clang particularly depends on extracting
info from the gcc configuration, and with a mismatched triple it thinks
there's not a working gcc installation so stops lots of stuff early.

Tests are still running, but I think it solves some clang issues and doesn't
introduce any new ones.

Let me know if any of this is unclear

Cheers

Hello everyone,

We have updated both Cortex-A9 buildslaves to reduce the number of
failing tests.
Currently both Pandaboards run Ubuntu 12.10 and the following
development toolchain:

gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-1ubuntu1) 4.7.2
g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-1ubuntu1) 4.7.2
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22.90.20120919
Python 2.7.3

Please note that the current expected number of failing tests on this
builder is 17.
We are working on fixing them, and as always, patches are welcome.


Thanks

Galina
