Andy Dougherty [Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:23:11 +0000 (09:23 -0500)]
Fix [perl #116523] Configure is confused by '=' in output from uname -a

Previously, Configure used to try to post-process the output of uname -a.
This was to support Xenix, which gave output like this:

     sysname=XENIX
     nodename=whatever
     release=2.3.2 .. etc...

Configure attempted to parse that output and build up a $myuname variable
that resembled those generated on traditional Unix systems.

More recently, a user reported uname -a output on a CVS checkout of
NetBSD that also included information such as

    root=username@hostname:/dirname module=src branch=HEAD

The Configure code misparsed that and ended up throwing most of it away.

This patch takes the simplest approach and just skips the attempt to
process the Xenix output.

use_versioned_archname => versionedarchname

backport of ba95ddbf39c3f4434439

This patch adds 'use_versioned_archname' as a Configure option.
When set, it includes 'api_versionstring' in 'archname'. E.g.
x86_64-linux-5.13.6-thread-multi.  It is unset by default.

This feature was requested by Tim Bunce, who observed that
INSTALL_BASE creates a library structure that does not
differentiate by perl version.  Instead, it places architecture
specific files in "$install_base/lib/perl5/$archname".  This makes
it difficult to use a common INSTALL_BASE library path with
multiple versions of perl.

By setting -Duse_versioned_archname, the $archname will be
distinct for architecture *and* API version, allowing mixed use of
INSTALL_BASE.

This patch demonstrates the desired effect for discussion.  Actual
changes would need to be made upstream in metaconfig and
integrated back into blead.

11 years agoFix alignment for darwin with -Dusemorebits.
Andy Dougherty [Mon, 10 Sep 2012 11:45:26 +0000 (07:45 -0400)]
Fix alignment for darwin with -Dusemorebits.

By default, the darwin build assumes a "multiarchitecture" build.
Configure has a hardwired default of '8' for alignbytes (and then
proceeds to ignore it with another hard-wired '8' in config.h).
That '8' was supposed to be a safe value, in case perl was built
on one architecture but run on another with a stricter constraint.
With darwin and -Dusemorebits, however, the alignment should be on
16-byte boundaries.  We don't want to penalize all darwin builds for
this unlikely configuration, but we do want to allow it.

This patch causes Configure to compute alignbytes even for multiarch
builds, but if the result is less than 8, it sets it to 8 (which
preserves the previous behavior).  If, however, alignbytes is 16,
Configure won't decrease it.  Then, this patch also fixes the bits that
end up in config_h.SH so that it uses the value determined by Configure
instead of the previous hardwired value.

[PATCH] Fix d_u32align probe on ARM

From: Marc Pignat <marc@pignat.org>
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:38:37 +0200

My proposed solution is to use the 'volatile' keyword to make sure the
compiler will really do the job.

Please note that it does not work with -O3, but the configure script
compile with -O2, so this should be fine.

At this time I've only tested the Configure scripts, which now detects
the align problem on ARM. I'm compiling the whole thing to check if the
md5 bug goes away!

I hope this will fix this *5 years* old bug, and the upstream bug as
well!
