Subject: Reduce command length in regen-ulps.
X-Git-Tag: glibc-2.27~200
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9256ab6bb81e6cf983f31f5162dbc9fad4c293a;p=thirdparty%2Fglibc.git

Reduce command length in regen-ulps.

I found that "make regen-ulps" failed when building with unmodified
GNU make 4.1, and an objdir /some/where/math/ longer than about 37
characters, because the list of tests in the "for run in $^" loop
exceeded the Linux kernel's MAX_ARG_STRLEN limit (131072 bytes) on the
length of a single argument passed to a command.

Some GNU/Linux distributions have a patch to make to work around this
limit (see e.g. Debian bug 688601), but clearly this ought to work
without needing such a patch.  This patch arranges for the shell loop
to be over the test names without a $(objdir) prefix, which reduces
the space used to less than half MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

(I think we ought to aim to get rid of bits/mathinline.h completely -
filing GCC bugs for any optimizations GCC can't currently do with
-ffast-math - which would mean we could halve the number of libm tests
run because separate inline function tests would no longer be needed.
However, with a long directory name even half the number of tests
could make this command exceed MAX_ARG_STRLEN without my patch.)

Tested regen-ulps on a system where it failed before this patch.

	* math/Makefile (run-regen-ulps): Add $(objpfx) to test name here.
	(regen-ulps): Use $(libm-tests) not $^ in shell loop.
