[M3devel] cm3 on snow leopard?

Sun Dec 12 06:36:02 CET 2010

Please experiment a bit with this and let me know.
Notice how I only get .machine for ppc.

jbook2:~ jay$ cat 1.c
void F1() {}

jbook2:~ jay$ gcc -arch ppc64 -c 1.c -S && grep machine 1.s
    .machine ppc64
jbook2:~ jay$ gcc -arch ppc -c 1.c -S && grep machine 1.s
    .machine ppc7400
jbook2:~ jay$ gcc -arch i386 -c 1.c -S && grep machine 1.s
jbook2:~ jay$ gcc -arch x86_64 -c 1.c -S && grep machine 1.s

Oh, here:

gcc-4.2 -arch ppc64 -c 1.c -v

gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -c 1.c -v

 /usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/as -arch x86_64 -force_cpusubtype_ALL -o 1.o /var/folders/QG/Q

Ok, I think we should use the C compiler on Darwin to assemble.
It costs an extra fork/exec.
This is probably a reasonable idea on all systems, and cheap enough except on Cygwin.
I'll try to get around to this fairly soon.
It'll require per-target.

More generally we *might* be able to extract enough from the gcc driver in m3-sys/m3cc and use it.
I might might might might pursue that. Might.
In particular, we could build both cm3cg and gcc driver (renamed -- m3gcc?) and trigger gcc to run both cm3cg (m3cgc1) and as.
This seems very very reasonable.
gcc driver (renamed) merely has to know that .is/.ms map to cm3cg or m3cgc1.
This is a good idea. But more work.

Thanks,
 - Jay

I'm rudely (but helpfully) ignoring your details and giving some of mine.

I though what is supposed to happen, specifically on Darwin, is the assembly code is supposed to indicate an architecture.

jbook2:m3core jay$ CM3_TARGET=I386_DARWIN M3CONFIG=/cm3/bin/config/I386_DARWIN cm3 -keep
^C

jbook2:m3core jay$ CM3_TARGET=AMD64_DARWIN M3CONFIG=/cm3/bin/config/AMD64_DARWIN cm3 -keep
^C

head */RTHooks.ms

but no.

But then this:

jbook2:m3core jay$ CM3_TARGET=AMD64_DARWIN M3CONFIG=/cm3/bin/config/AMD64_DARWIN cm3 -keep -commands
--- building in AMD64_DARWIN ---

..
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as RTAllocator.ms -o RTAllocator.mo

CM3_TARGET=I386_DARWIN M3CONFIG=/cm3/bin/config/I386_DARWIN cm3 -keep -commands

...
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as Ctypes.is -o Ctypes.io

i386 vs. x86_64.

Darwin.common:
proc configure_assembler() is
  if defined("SYSTEM_ASM")
    return
  end
  SYSTEM_ASM = "/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/" & DarwinArch & "/as"
  if not FileExists(SYSTEM_ASM)
      SYSTEM_ASM = "as"
  end
end

jbook2:m3core jay$ grep DarwinArch /dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/*
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/AMD64_DARWIN:DarwinArch = "x86_64"
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/ARM_DARWIN:DarwinArch = "armv6" % ?
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/Darwin.common:  SYSTEM_ASM = "/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/" & DarwinArch & "/as"
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/Darwin.common:  local arch = " -arch " & DarwinArch
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/Darwin.common:      arch = " -arch_only " & DarwinArch & " "
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/I386_DARWIN:DarwinArch = "i386"
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/PPC64_DARWIN:DarwinArch = "ppc64"
/dev2/cm3/m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/PPC_DARWIN:DarwinArch = "ppc"

?
cm3 -commands?

find /usr/lib | grep /as$
find /usr/libexec | grep /as$

Maybe the path changed? Has a version? or is there is only i686-apple-darwin9, powerpc-apple-darwin9?

I should look into getting the architecture into the assembly code though and just running "as", esp. on newer hosts.

I admit I'm still using Leopard.
