gcc44, gcc45, gcc46: build hangs on lion, due to mpfr built with clang

[guygurari@…]

When trying to install gcc45 on Lion (10.7.2), the build launches a process 'f951' which grows to 4 GB RAM, uses only 5% CPU, and does not finish after hours of work.

I would attach a log file but I don't know where logs for on-going builds are stored.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The command "port logfile gcc45" will show you where the log file is.

[guygurari@…]

gcc45 log file

[guygurari@…]

Thanks, I attached the log. You will notice it seems to be truncated, but this is after letting the build run for 10 minutes without any change to the log file.

Workaround: disable build fortran compiler, for example:

$ sudo port edit gcc45
/configure.args
<remove ",fortran">

Running that gives the following:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

[lfelipe.sanchez@…]

Well, I did first sudo port edit gcc45 and then I look for configure.args and I removed fortran. Saved and quit like in vim and now it is compiling. I'll post something if there is a problem.

[macports.org@…]

I did the same (sudo port edit gcc44, remove ,fortran from the configure.args line), did a port clean gcc44, then port install gcc44. Now it only starts one memory eating f951 process, instead of two before.

Disabling fortran is not a solution. There are many ports like py27-scipy or R ... which are built by gcc fortran as well. So it means no one can built any port which has fortran sources. It also happened to me after Xcode 4.2 installation (update) and further macports update from ver. 2.0.2 to 2.0.3. Hope it will be fixed ASAP because it is pretty taught. Thanks in advance!

A temporary fix is to downgrade xcode to version 4.1. I just did that and gcc44 compiles nicely without eating all my memory.

[evilspaam@…]

Replying to evilspaam@…:

A temporary fix is to downgrade xcode to version 4.1. I just did that and gcc44 compiles nicely without eating all my memory.

Guess I was a bit too fast. It seemed to compile nicely, but after a few hours the compile process seems to have stalled, using ~ 5 % cpu, but the two f951 processes "only" use between 500 MB - 1.5 GB of memory. However my machine has not crashed yet, which was the result with xcode 4.2.

Anyway, sorry if anyone spend time going down this path.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

How much memory is in your computer? If you have two processes using 1.5GB of real memory each, and you only have, say, 4GB of physical RAM (some RAM is needed for the OS and your other apps), your machine will grind to a halt as it uses swap instead of RAM. You might mitigate that somewhat by interrupting the build (^C) and then retrying it without parallel building:

sudo port install gcc44 build.jobs=1

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The default compiler on Xcode 4.2 is clang. On Xcode 4.0 and 4.1 it's llvm-gcc-4.2. And on Xcode 3.2 it's gcc-4.2. So, has anybody just tried using a different compiler? Try:

sudo port clean gcc44
sudo port install gcc44 configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

If that works, great; if not, try apple-gcc-4.2:

sudo port clean gcc44
sudo port install apple-gcc42
sudo port install gcc44 configure.complier=apple-gcc-4.2

#31736 mentions in passing that this last suggestion worked, however if llvm-gcc-4.2 works too, we would prefer to use that.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Does setting configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 require installing the llvm-gcc42 port? I just tried without it, and the build failed.

My machine has 8 GB of memory, but even though the f951 processes only use the stated 500 MB - 1.5 GB each, my memory usage still ends up being 99 % and ~ 5 % cpu usage.

I will try using only one process and a different compiler. But as I downgraded to xcode 4.1 I guess I have already tried llvm-gcc-4.2 and that still does not work.

Thanks for your advices :)

I'm trying to install gcc45. No success with either default compiler or configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 or configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

As soon as the process f951 pops up, memory starts paging as crazy, and I have to kill the process before the machine freezes.

On the very same machine, installation of gcc45 was successful before I updated to 10.7.2 (from 10.7.1) and to Xcode 4.2 (from 4.1 IIRC) and selfupdated MacPorts. Can't say who's the assassin though (well, actually it's myself for choosing to update everything, but it's not a production machine...;-)

Mac OS 10.7.2 with XCode 4.2 Build 4D199. After trying various combinations of mentioned suggestions I have had no success.

"llvm-gcc42" stalls out for me on what looks like both the gcc44 fortran and java; by commenting out fortran as a build target has it move on to java and have the same problem. It starts to use more and more memory and swap space, so presumably has some sort of memory leak.

"apple-gcc-4.2" completely fails.

Since I can get gfortran binaries (​http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries), I figured I could remove it from the portfile along with the java, which were causing problems.

If I do "sudo port edit gcc44" and remove all mentions of java and fortran, including configure.args it fails near the end:

Along with commenting out fortran and java, it at least finishes installation. I don't know if this will ruin anything in the future; however it seems I can get other things to install by pointing them to the fortran I got directly from the Mac binaries:

sudo port install openmpi configure.f77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran configure.fc=/usr/local/bin/gfortran 

[spolitov@…]

As I mentioned here: #31736, gcc44 successfully installs with apple-gcc-4.2

As seen from your build log, you have all dependencies installed. It is possible that problem with one of them.

You could try to uninstall them, then installing gcc44 with apple-gcc-4.2, which will build all dependencies with this compiler.

They are: gmp, mpfr, xz, libiconv, gperf, gettext, ncurses, ncursesw, expat, gcc_select

MacPro with 10.7.2 and Xcode 4.2 always results in a frozen system. Tried specifying the other two compliers as suggested and both were again using large (6 GB+) of memory. I had not so long ago setup another machine, also with Lion, and installing gcc44 was fine. Turns out that was using Xcode 4.1 and I install had the "Install Xcode" image from the App store for 4.1. So I removed my current Xcode 4.2 using

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all

and then installed Xcode 4.1. Then I did a complete clean of MacPorts

sudo port -fp uninstall --follow-dependents installed
sudo port clean all

and then tried again and gcc44 compiled (on my way to installing py26-scipy).

Blowing away the whole of /opt/local, reinstalling and then installing apple-gcc42 and then gcc44 using that compiler, worked as for you. This is on a MacPro with 10.7.2.

The end result was I couldn't install install ncurses as it needed gettext, which wouldn't install as it needed ncurses, basically.

gettext needs ncurses. ncurses does not need gettext. But ncurses does need some little utilities like awk and sed and grep which, if you have the MacPorts versions of those ports installed, use gettext. MacPorts doesn't support circular dependencies and therefore doesn't have any. But when you remove an essential library like gettext you can expect some fallout and need to know exactly what you're doing to recover.

Replying to garnier@…:

I don't know which is the bad guy, but I'm thinking its gmp, mpfr, or gperf.

Can someone please isolate which one(s) of these needs to be built with configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2, so that we can modify that port (those ports) to do that? We already know that just building gcc44 with apple-gcc42, after all the dependencies have been built with the default compiler, doesn't work. What if you rebuild just one of the above dependencies with apple-gcc42 (leaving the rest of the dependencies built by the default compiler), then build gcc44 with the default compiler? I'd start with gmp, since it already had a problem with llvm-gcc-4.2 which was fixed by using a different compiler (see r80732, r81117). Thanks.

Isolating gmp failed to solve the f951 problem for me, but isolating mpfr worked:

sudo port -f uninstall gcc45 gawk       # Removed gawk just in case

# Begin gmp isolation
sudo port -f uninstall rdepof:gcc45
sudo port clean --all rdepof:gcc45 gcc45
sudo port install gcc_select xz         # Installing xz covered all gcc45 deps that don't need gmp
sudo port install gmp configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
sudo port install gcc45                 # Installed mpfr and libmpc, stalled during gcc45

# Begin mpfr isolation
sudo port -f uninstall rdepof:gcc45     # Cleaned up, started over
sudo port clean --all rdepof:gcc45 gcc45
sudo port install gcc_select xz gmp
sudo port install mpfr configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
sudo port install gcc45                 # Finished successfully

# Put gawk back ;)
sudo port clean --all gawk
sudo port install gawk

I have MacPorts 2.0.3 and Xcode 4.2 (4D199) on OS X 10.7.2 (11C74).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks for finding that. Can we try one more thing -- would compiling mpfr with llvm-gcc-4.2 also fix it? If so we'd rather do that than make people install apple-gcc42.

It seems so. I have remove the entire macports tree and made a fresh install. Then

port selfupdate
port install gcc_select xz gmp
port install mpfr configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2
port install gcc44
port install gcc45

All of them went OK ;-)

But gcc46 didn't compile, although the error is different from the pre-"llvm" error: instead of just filling all available RAM and starting swapping like crazy, it stopped with

--->  Building gcc46
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for gcc46 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcc46/gcc46/main.log

I attach the log file. opendx and py27-matplotlib also stopped working with XCode 4.2, but I am not sure it is the same problem. I will retry to compile them and compare the logs...

Thanks very much for testing that. I've made that fix in mpfr in r86599. Could anybody who hasn't been able to build gcc44 / gcc45 yet with Xcode 4.2 please try the following (substituting gcc45 for gcc44 as desired):

sudo port clean gcc44
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port install gcc44

But gcc46 didn't compile

The log you attached ends with:

:info:build collect2: ld terminated with signal 6 [Abort trap: 6]
:info:build ld(17181) malloc: *** error for object 0x10bc82860: pointer being freed was not allocated
:info:build *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

so this looks like it's already covered by #31171 and #31174.

opendx and py27-matplotlib also stopped working with XCode 4.2, but I am not sure it is the same problem. I will retry to compile them and compare the logs...

py27-matplotlib: see if #31046 or #31639 describe the problem you're seeing.

opendx: take a look at #30990.

[ralph@…]

This fix for mpfr also fixes #31660.

gcc45 builds correctly for me after a port selfupdate.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Cool, we'll call this fixed. Thanks everyone for your help and patience.

#31046 is indeed the error I am seeing. The workaround of renaming llvm as clang fixes it.

opendx: take a look at #30990.

No, it's a different error, again related to clang in Xcode 4.2. In fact, the workaround of #31046 also fixes this problem. But this is a very awkward way of fixing a compilation problem...

This bug is due to radar://10291355, "Xcode 4.2 miscompiles tls support in MPFR 3.1.0"
where Xcode 4.2 introduced tis support in clang on Lion which had a codgen bug
​http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11111 This was fixed in llvm.org's clang 3.0 release and deployed by Apple in Xcode 4.2.1.
The easy fix, since this tis support in mpfr was never compiled prior to Xcode 4.2's introduction of tis in clang, is to append --disable-thread-safe
to the configure flags for mpfr. Please append that flag and start building with clang again.

[howarth@…]

Portfile diff to pass --disable-thread-safe and enable clang builds

[howarth@…]

Attached Portfile diff which implements the use of --disable-thread-safe that allows clang to be used again.

Please do not re-open already fixed bug, especially if you open another bug with the same patch attached. Closing this, further discussion should be in #33361.
