222 | ||
223 | GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in the | |
224 | build procedure. Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools | |
225 | described below. | |
226 | ||
227 | @heading Tools/packages necessary for building GCC | |
228 | @table @asis | |
5329b59a JM |
229 | @item ISO C++11 compiler |
230 | Necessary to bootstrap GCC. | |
231 | ||
232 | Versions of GCC prior to 11 also allow bootstrapping with an ISO C++98 | |
233 | compiler, versions of GCC prior to 4.8 also allow bootstrapping with a | |
234 | ISO C89 compiler, and versions of GCC prior to 3.4 also allow | |
235 | bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler. | |
67b1fbb9 | 236 | |
80521187 | 237 | To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where |
67b1fbb9 | 238 | 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing |
5329b59a | 239 | GCC binary (version 4.8 or later) because source code for language |
67b1fbb9 KG |
240 | frontends other than C might use GCC extensions. |
241 | ||
afe0e941 FXC |
242 | @item C standard library and headers |
243 | ||
244 | In order to build GCC, the C standard library and headers must be present | |
245 | for all target variants for which target libraries will be built (and not | |
246 | only the variant of the host C++ compiler). | |
247 | ||
3340164d | 248 | This affects the popular @samp{x86_64-pc-linux-gnu} platform (among |
afe0e941 FXC |
249 | other multilib targets), for which 64-bit (@samp{x86_64}) and 32-bit |
250 | (@samp{i386}) libc headers are usually packaged separately. If you do a | |
3340164d | 251 | build of a native compiler on @samp{x86_64-pc-linux-gnu}, make sure you |
afe0e941 FXC |
252 | either have the 32-bit libc developer package properly installed (the exact |
253 | name of the package depends on your distro) or you must build GCC as a | |
254 | 64-bit only compiler by configuring with the option | |
255 | @option{--disable-multilib}. Otherwise, you may encounter an error such as | |
256 | @samp{fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file} | |
257 | ||
0fd3ee92 | 258 | @item @anchor{GNAT-prerequisite}GNAT |
67b1fbb9 | 259 | |
0fd3ee92 | 260 | In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT |
abb748aa | 261 | compiler (GCC version 5.1 or later). |
0fd3ee92 AC |
262 | |
263 | This includes GNAT tools such as @command{gnatmake} and | |
264 | @command{gnatlink}, since the Ada front end is written in Ada and | |
265 | uses some GNAT-specific extensions. | |
266 | ||
267 | In order to build a cross compiler, it is strongly recommended to install | |
268 | the new compiler as native first, and then use it to build the cross | |
269 | compiler. Other native compiler versions may work but this is not guaranteed and | |
270 | will typically fail with hard to understand compilation errors during the | |
271 | build. | |
272 | ||
273 | Similarly, it is strongly recommended to use an older version of GNAT to build | |
274 | GNAT. More recent versions of GNAT than the version built are not guaranteed | |
275 | to work and will often fail during the build with compilation errors. | |
276 | ||
277 | Note that @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works | |
278 | and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
279 | installed and @option{--enable-languages=ada} is used, the build will fail. | |
280 | ||
281 | @env{ADA_INCLUDE_PATH} and @env{ADA_OBJECT_PATH} environment variables | |
282 | must not be set when building the Ada compiler, the Ada tools, or the | |
283 | Ada runtime libraries. You can check that your build environment is clean | |
284 | by verifying that @samp{gnatls -v} lists only one explicit path in each | |
285 | section. | |
67b1fbb9 | 286 | |
d376b73a IB |
287 | @item @anchor{GDC-prerequisite}GDC |
288 | ||
289 | In order to build GDC, the D compiler, you need a working GDC | |
4e4f550a RO |
290 | compiler (GCC version 9.1 or later) and D runtime library, |
291 | @samp{libphobos}, as the D front end is written in D. | |
d376b73a IB |
292 | |
293 | Versions of GDC prior to 12 can be built with an ISO C++11 compiler, which can | |
294 | then be installed and used to bootstrap newer versions of the D front end. | |
295 | ||
296 | It is strongly recommended to use an older version of GDC to build GDC. More | |
297 | recent versions of GDC than the version built are not guaranteed to work and | |
298 | will often fail during the build with compilation errors relating to | |
299 | deprecations or removed features. | |
300 | ||
301 | Note that @command{configure} does not test whether the GDC installation works | |
302 | and has a sufficiently recent version. Though the implementation of the D | |
303 | front end does not make use of any GDC-specific extensions, or novel features | |
304 | of the D language, if too old a GDC version is installed and | |
305 | @option{--enable-languages=d} is used, the build will fail. | |
306 | ||
4e4f550a RO |
307 | On some targets, @samp{libphobos} isn't enabled by default, but compiles |
308 | and works if @option{--enable-libphobos} is used. Specifics are | |
309 | documented for affected targets. | |
310 | ||
67b1fbb9 KG |
311 | @item A ``working'' POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash |
312 | ||
313 | Necessary when running @command{configure} because some | |
314 | @command{/bin/sh} shells have bugs and may crash when configuring the | |
80521187 GP |
315 | target libraries. In other cases, @command{/bin/sh} or @command{ksh} |
316 | have disastrous corner-case performance problems. This | |
67b1fbb9 KG |
317 | can cause target @command{configure} runs to literally take days to |
318 | complete in some cases. | |
319 | ||
320 | So on some platforms @command{/bin/ksh} is sufficient, on others it | |
321 | isn't. See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or | |
322 | use @command{bash} to be sure. Then set @env{CONFIG_SHELL} in your | |
323 | environment to your ``good'' shell prior to running | |
324 | @command{configure}/@command{make}. | |
325 | ||
daf2f129 | 326 | @command{zsh} is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not |
8a36672b | 327 | work when configuring GCC@. |
1b49d06f | 328 | |
3f737aa9 RW |
329 | @item A POSIX or SVR4 awk |
330 | ||
331 | Necessary for creating some of the generated source files for GCC@. | |
332 | If in doubt, use a recent GNU awk version, as some of the older ones | |
333 | are broken. GNU awk version 3.1.5 is known to work. | |
334 | ||
67b1fbb9 KG |
335 | @item GNU binutils |
336 | ||
337 | Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the | |
338 | host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact | |
339 | requirements. | |
340 | ||
7e4ada57 AP |
341 | Note binutils 2.35 or newer is required for LTO to work correctly |
342 | with GNU libtool that includes doing a bootstrap with LTO enabled. | |
343 | ||
67b1fbb9 KG |
344 | @item gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or |
345 | @itemx bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later) | |
346 | ||
347 | Necessary to uncompress GCC @command{tar} files when source code is | |
aeebd94c | 348 | obtained via HTTPS mirror sites. |
67b1fbb9 | 349 | |
6cba282a | 350 | @item GNU make version 3.80 (or later) |
e158a5fb | 351 | |
8a36672b | 352 | You must have GNU make installed to build GCC@. |
e158a5fb | 353 | |
f44a5ab6 | 354 | @item GNU tar version 1.14 (or later) |
67b1fbb9 KG |
355 | |
356 | Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many | |
357 | systems' @command{tar} programs will also work, only try GNU | |
358 | @command{tar} if you have problems. | |
359 | ||
727bd12e | 360 | @item Perl version between 5.6.1 and 5.6.24 |
eb975109 | 361 | |
073a8998 | 362 | Necessary when targeting Darwin, building @samp{libstdc++}, |
eb975109 | 363 | and not using @option{--disable-symvers}. |
f4dff765 RO |
364 | Necessary when targeting Solaris 2 with Solaris @command{ld} and not using |
365 | @option{--disable-symvers}. | |
eb975109 RO |
366 | |
367 | Necessary when regenerating @file{Makefile} dependencies in libiberty. | |
368 | Necessary when regenerating @file{libiberty/functions.texi}. | |
369 | Necessary when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals. | |
f4d83eba ER |
370 | Used by various scripts to generate some files included in the source |
371 | repository (mainly Unicode-related and rarely changing) from source | |
372 | tables. | |
eb975109 | 373 | |
727bd12e TK |
374 | Used by @command{automake}. |

378 | Several support libraries are necessary to build GCC, some are required, | |
379 | others optional. While any sufficiently new version of required tools | |
380 | usually work, library requirements are generally stricter. Newer | |
381 | versions may work in some cases, but it's safer to use the exact | |
382 | versions documented. We appreciate bug reports about problems with | |
7a07ae52 JW |
383 | newer versions, though. If your OS vendor provides packages for the |
384 | support libraries then using those packages may be the simplest way to | |
385 | install the libraries. | |
64cadbe7 RO |
386 | |
387 | @table @asis | |
362c6d2f | 388 | @item GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.3.2 (or later) |
bda4d063 | 389 | |
7a07ae52 JW |
390 | Necessary to build GCC@. If a GMP source distribution is found in a |
391 | subdirectory of your GCC sources named @file{gmp}, it will be built | |
392 | together with GCC. Alternatively, if GMP is already installed but it | |
393 | is not in your library search path, you will have to configure with the | |
c02c7cb1 | 394 | @option{--with-gmp} configure option. See also @option{--with-gmp-lib} |
7a07ae52 | 395 | and @option{--with-gmp-include}. |
00f35794 BE |
396 | The in-tree build is only supported with the GMP version that |
397 | download_prerequisites installs. | |
bda4d063 | 398 | |
8be34204 | 399 | @item MPFR Library version 3.1.0 (or later) |
bebf829d | 400 | |
0ee2ea09 | 401 | Necessary to build GCC@. It can be downloaded from |
c8a4f039 | 402 | @uref{https://www.mpfr.org}. If an MPFR source distribution is found |
7a07ae52 JW |
403 | in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named @file{mpfr}, it will be |

47876a2a JW |
574 | For previous versions these were downloadable as separate components such |

578 | |
579 | If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing | |
580 | installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your | |
581 | OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or | |
582 | a separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any | |
583 | components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler | |

616 | ||
617 | Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built. | |
618 | This document describes the recommended configuration procedure | |
619 | for both native and cross targets. | |
620 | ||
38209993 LG |
621 | We use @var{srcdir} to refer to the toplevel source directory for |
622 | GCC; we use @var{objdir} to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. | |
623 | ||
f4d83eba ER |
624 | If you obtained the sources by cloning the repository, @var{srcdir} |
625 | must refer to the top @file{gcc} directory, the one where the | |
626 | @file{MAINTAINERS} file can be found, and not its @file{gcc} | |
627 | subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail. | |
f42974dc | 628 | |
b4b0fb02 RO |
629 | If either @var{srcdir} or @var{objdir} is located on an automounted NFS |
630 | file system, the shell's built-in @command{pwd} command will return | |
631 | temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build | |
632 | problems. To avoid this issue, set the @env{PWDCMD} environment | |
633 | variable to an automounter-aware @command{pwd} command, e.g., | |
7ba4ca63 | 634 | @command{pawd} or @samp{amq -w}, during the configuration and build |
b4b0fb02 RO |
635 | phases. |
636 | ||
102b60d1 | 637 | First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a |
0b70519f | 638 | separate directory from the sources which does @strong{not} reside |
102b60d1 GP |
639 | within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building |
640 | where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't | |
641 | get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory | |
642 | of @var{srcdir} is unsupported. | |
f42974dc | 643 | |
eea81d3e | 644 | If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a |
f85b8d1a | 645 | different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files |
377dfc82 GP |
646 | that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is @file{Makefile}; |
647 | if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} does not exist | |
648 | or issues a message like ``don't know how to make distclean'' it probably | |
649 | means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the | |
650 | recommended method of building in a separate @var{objdir}, you should | |
651 | simply use a different @var{objdir} for each target. | |
f85b8d1a | 652 | |
38209993 LG |
653 | Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or |
654 | @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
df002c7d DE |
655 | your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration |
656 | scripts may fail. | |

659 | Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link |

0eac9c60 | 716 | @heading Host, Build and Target specification |
f42974dc | 717 | |
0eac9c60 ML |
718 | Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do this |
719 | when you run the @file{configure} script. | |
f42974dc | 720 | |
0eac9c60 ML |
721 | The @dfn{build} machine is the system which you are using, the |
722 | @dfn{host} machine is the system where you want to run the resulting | |
723 | compiler (normally the build machine), and the @dfn{target} machine is | |
724 | the system for which you want the compiler to generate code. | |
725 | ||
726 | If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs | |
727 | on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify any operands | |
728 | to @file{configure}; it will try to guess the type of machine you are on | |
729 | and use that as the build, host and target machines. So you don't need | |
730 | to specify a configuration when building a native compiler unless | |
731 | @file{configure} cannot figure out what your configuration is or guesses | |
732 | wrong. | |
733 | ||
734 | In those cases, specify the build machine's @dfn{configuration name} | |
735 | with the @option{--host} option; the host and target will default to be | |
736 | the same as the host machine. | |
737 | ||
738 | Here is an example: | |
739 | ||
740 | @smallexample | |
741 | ./configure --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu | |
742 | @end smallexample | |
f42974dc | 743 | |
0eac9c60 ML |
744 | A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less |
745 | abbreviated (@file{config.sub} script produces canonical versions). | |
746 | ||
747 | A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by dashes. | |
748 | It looks like this: @samp{@var{cpu}-@var{company}-@var{system}}. | |

b21d216c AF |
878 | @item --program-prefix=@var{prefix} |
879 | GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when | |
8a36672b JM |
880 | installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of |
881 | programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying | |
b21d216c AF |
882 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc} |
883 | being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}. | |
884 | ||
885 | @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix} | |
886 | Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
8a36672b | 887 | (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} |
b21d216c AF |
888 | would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as |
889 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
890 | ||
891 | @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
892 | Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
8a36672b | 893 | of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to |
b21d216c | 894 | consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by |
8a36672b | 895 | semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be |
b21d216c AF |
896 | transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and |
897 | the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
898 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
899 | you could use the pattern | |
900 | @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
901 | to achieve this effect. | |
902 | ||
903 | All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
8a36672b | 904 | complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and |
b21d216c AF |
905 | @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations |
906 | can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
907 | ||
8c085f6f | 908 | As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native |
b21d216c | 909 | builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a |
8c085f6f | 910 | transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. |
b21d216c AF |
911 | |
912 | For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
913 | with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
8a36672b | 914 | @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen |
78466c0e | 915 | before the target alias is prepended to the name---so, specifying |
b21d216c AF |
916 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the |
917 | resulting binary would be installed as | |
918 | @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
919 | ||
8ecab453 | 920 | As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are |
b21d216c AF |
921 | transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. |
922 | ||
ef88b07d JM |
923 | @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} |
924 | Specify the | |
6ac48571 JM |
925 | installation directory for local include files. The default is |
926 | @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
927 | search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
928 | header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
929 | ||
930 | You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
931 | site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
932 | site-specific files. | |
933 | ||
934 | The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
935 | regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
936 | @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
937 | local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
938 | logical. | |
939 | ||
940 | The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
941 | GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
161d7b59 | 942 | any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other |
6ac48571 JM |
943 | programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in |
944 | another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
945 | ||
48209ce5 | 946 | Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include |
78466c0e | 947 | directory are part of GCC's ``system include'' directories. Although these |
48209ce5 JDA |
948 | two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper |
949 | order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The | |
950 | local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix | |
951 | include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories | |
952 | is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. | |
953 | ||
954 | Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the | |
955 | compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed | |
956 | packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's | |
957 | system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system | |
958 | directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This | |
959 | may result in a search order different from what was specified but the | |
960 | directory will still be searched. | |
961 | ||
962 | GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using | |
963 | @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is | |
964 | used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for | |
965 | both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is | |
966 | easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is | |
967 | installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}. | |
968 | ||
969 | Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to | |
970 | use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the | |
971 | @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and | |
972 | @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions | |
973 | into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes | |
974 | and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the | |
975 | site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for | |
976 | users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries | |
977 | (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}). | |
978 | ||
979 | The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and | |
980 | @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used | |
981 | to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
982 | ||
6ac48571 JM |
983 | @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! |
984 | The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
985 | contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
986 | them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
987 | certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
4c64396e | 988 | file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script. |
6ac48571 JM |
989 | |
990 | Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
991 | ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
161d7b59 | 992 | install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because |
6ac48571 JM |
993 | installing GCC creates the directory. |
994 | ||
3c36aa6b JJ |
995 | @item --with-gcc-major-version-only |

997 | @var{major}.@var{minor}.@var{patchlevel} in filesystem paths. | |
998 | ||
08b2bad2 SB |
999 | @item --with-native-system-header-dir=@var{dirname} |
1000 | Specifies that @var{dirname} is the directory that contains native system | |
1001 | header files, rather than @file{/usr/include}. This option is most useful | |
1002 | if you are creating a compiler that should be isolated from the system | |
1003 | as much as possible. It is most commonly used with the | |
1004 | @option{--with-sysroot} option and will cause GCC to search | |
1005 | @var{dirname} inside the system root specified by that option. | |
1006 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1007 | @item --enable-shared[=@var{package}[,@dots{}]] |
0cb98517 AO |
1008 | Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on |

1127 | @item --enable-vtable-verify |
1128 | Specify whether to enable or disable the vtable verification feature. | |
1129 | Enabling this feature causes libstdc++ to be built with its virtual calls | |
1130 | in verifiable mode. This means that, when linked with libvtv, every | |
1131 | virtual call in libstdc++ will verify the vtable pointer through which the | |
1132 | call will be made before actually making the call. If not linked with libvtv, | |
1133 | the verifier will call stub functions (in libstdc++ itself) and do nothing. | |
1134 | If vtable verification is disabled, then libstdc++ is not built with its | |
1135 | virtual calls in verifiable mode at all. However the libvtv library will | |
1136 | still be built (see @option{--disable-libvtv} to turn off building libvtv). | |
1137 | @option{--disable-vtable-verify} is the default. | |

1193 | multilibs selects in some cases a less optimal multilib than when using | |
1194 | the multilib profile for the architecture targetted. The special value | |

1202 | be named starting with @file{t-ml-}, to make their intended purpose | |

1207 | @file{gcc/config/arm/t-*profile} files for an example of what such | |
1208 | Makefile fragments might look like for this version of GCC. The macros | |
1209 | expected to be defined in these fragments are not stable across GCC | |

1282 | these are handled by @option{--with-endian}. | |
1283 | ||
1284 | If @var{list} is empty, then there will be no multilibs for extra | |

1572 | On MIPS targets, make @option{-mno-lxc1-sxc1} the default when no | |
1573 | @option{-mlxc1-sxc1} option is passed. The indexed load/store | |
1574 | instructions are not directly a problem but can lead to unexpected | |
1575 | behaviour when deployed in an application intended for a 32-bit address | |
1576 | space but run on a 64-bit processor. The issue is seen because all | |
1577 | known MIPS 64-bit Linux kernels execute o32 and n32 applications | |
1578 | with 64-bit addressing enabled which affects the overflow behaviour | |
1579 | of the indexed addressing mode. GCC will assume that ordinary | |
1580 | 32-bit arithmetic overflow behaviour is the same whether performed | |
1581 | as an @code{addu} instruction or as part of the address calculation | |
1582 | in @code{lwxc1} type instructions. This assumption holds true in a | |
1583 | pure 32-bit environment and can hold true in a 64-bit environment if | |
1584 | the address space is accurately set to be 32-bit for o32 and n32. | |

1593 | family can be problematic when targeting a combination of cores that | |
1594 | implement these instructions differently. There are two known cores | |
1595 | that implement these as fused operations instead of unfused (where | |
1596 | unfused is normally expected). Disabling these instructions is the | |

1666 | systems with limited free memory. The default is not to add such | |
1667 | dependencies and thus with parallel make potentially link different | |

1680 | @item --disable-bootstrap |
1681 | For a native build, the default configuration is to perform | |
1682 | a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when @samp{make} is invoked, | |
1683 | testing that GCC can compile itself correctly. If you want to disable | |
1684 | this process, you can configure with @option{--disable-bootstrap}. | |

f5c3bb4b PB |
1690 | the target (e.g.@: host is i686-linux, target is i486-linux). |

1983 | When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in the | |
1984 | compiler are built with @option{-Werror} in bootstrap stage2 and later. | |
1985 | If you don't specify it, @option{-Werror} is turned on for the main | |
1986 | development trunk. However it defaults to off for release branches and | |
1987 | final releases. The specific files which get @option{-Werror} are | |

f85b8d1a | 1992 | @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} |
267cca3d RZ |
1993 | This option controls performing internal consistency checks in the compiler. |
1994 | It does not change the generated code, but adds error checking of the | |
1995 | requested complexity. This slows down the compiler and may only work | |
1996 | properly if you are building the compiler with GCC@. | |
1997 | ||
1998 | When the option is not specified, the active set of checks depends on context. | |
1999 | Namely, bootstrap stage 1 defaults to @samp{--enable-checking=yes}, builds | |
8bc6d0a2 RZ |
2000 | from release branches or release archives default to |
2001 | @samp{--enable-checking=release}, and otherwise | |
2002 | @samp{--enable-checking=yes,extra} is used. When the option is | |
267cca3d RZ |
2003 | specified without a @var{list}, the result is the same as |
2004 | @samp{--enable-checking=yes}. Likewise, @samp{--disable-checking} is | |
2005 | equivalent to @samp{--enable-checking=no}. | |
2006 | ||
2007 | The categories of checks available in @var{list} are @samp{yes} (most common | |
2008 | checks @samp{assert,misc,gc,gimple,rtlflag,runtime,tree,types}), @samp{no} | |
2009 | (no checks at all), @samp{all} (all but @samp{valgrind}), @samp{release} | |
2010 | (cheapest checks @samp{assert,runtime}) or @samp{none} (same as @samp{no}). | |
2011 | @samp{release} checks are always on and to disable them | |
2012 | @samp{--disable-checking} or @samp{--enable-checking=no[,<other checks>]} | |
2013 | must be explicitly requested. Disabling assertions makes the compiler and | |
2014 | runtime slightly faster but increases the risk of undetected internal errors | |
2015 | causing wrong code to be generated. | |
2016 | ||
2017 | Individual checks can be enabled with these flags: @samp{assert}, @samp{df}, | |
2018 | @samp{extra}, @samp{fold}, @samp{gc}, @samp{gcac}, @samp{gimple}, | |
2019 | @samp{misc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag}, @samp{runtime}, @samp{tree}, | |
2020 | @samp{types} and @samp{valgrind}. @samp{extra} extends @samp{misc} | |
2021 | checking with extra checks that might affect code generation and should | |
2022 | therefore not differ between stage1 and later stages in bootstrap. | |
2023 | ||
2024 | The @samp{valgrind} check requires the external @command{valgrind} simulator, | |
0d166f4a | 2025 | available from @uref{https://valgrind.org}. The @samp{rtl} checks are |
8bc6d0a2 RZ |
2026 | expensive and the @samp{df}, @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind} checks are very |
2027 | expensive. | |

00f39bd5 | 2031 | @itemx --enable-stage1-checking=@var{list} |
267cca3d RZ |
2032 | This option affects only bootstrap build. If no @option{--enable-checking} |
2033 | option is specified the stage1 compiler is built with @samp{yes} checking | |
2034 | enabled, otherwise the stage1 checking flags are the same as specified by | |
00f39bd5 RG |
2035 | @option{--enable-checking}. To build the stage1 compiler with |
2036 | different checking options use @option{--enable-stage1-checking}. | |
2037 | The list of checking options is the same as for @option{--enable-checking}. | |
2038 | If your system is too slow or too small to bootstrap a released compiler | |
2039 | with checking for stage1 enabled, you can use @samp{--disable-stage1-checking} | |
2040 | to disable checking for the stage1 compiler. | |

8a36672b JM |
2045 | information, every time it is run. This is for internal development |
2046 | purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The | |
22aa533e | 2047 | @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or |
8a36672b | 2048 | not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you |
22aa533e | 2049 | want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to |

29f3def3 GJL |
2464 | Only supported for the AVR target. Specifies that @samp{AVR-Libc} is |
2465 | being used as the target C@tie{} library. This causes float support | |
2a095093 GJL |
2466 | functions like @code{__addsf3} to be omitted from @file{libgcc.a} on |
2467 | the assumption that it will be provided by @file{libm.a}. For more | |
786973ce | 2468 | technical details, cf. @uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/PR54461,,PR54461}. |
29f3def3 | 2469 | It is not supported for |
2a095093 GJL |
2470 | RTEMS configurations, which currently use newlib. The option is |
2471 | supported since version 4.7.2 and is the default in 4.8.0 and newer. | |

2474 | @itemx --with-long-double=@{32|64|32,64|64,32|double@} | |
2475 | Only supported for the AVR target since version@tie{}10. | |
2476 | Specify the default layout available for the C/C++ @samp{double} | |
2477 | and @samp{long double} type, respectively. The following rules apply: | |
2478 | @itemize | |
2479 | @item | |
2480 | The first value after the @samp{=} specifies the default layout (in bits) | |
2481 | of the type and also the default for the @option{-mdouble=} resp. | |
2482 | @option{-mlong-double=} compiler option. | |
2483 | @item | |
2484 | If more than one value is specified, respective multilib variants are | |
2485 | available, and @option{-mdouble=} resp. @option{-mlong-double=} acts | |
2486 | as a multilib option. | |
2487 | @item | |
2488 | If @option{--with-long-double=double} is specified, @samp{double} and | |
2489 | @samp{long double} will have the same layout. | |
2490 | @item | |
f30dd607 GJL |
2491 | The defaults are @option{--with-long-double=64,32} and |
2492 | @option{--with-double=32,64}. The default @samp{double} layout imposed by | |
2493 | the latter is compatible with older versions of the compiler that implement | |
2494 | @samp{double} as a 32-bit type, which does not comply to the language standard. | |
29f3def3 GJL |
2495 | @end itemize |
2496 | Not all combinations of @option{--with-double=} and | |
2497 | @option{--with-long-double=} are valid. For example, the combination | |
2498 | @option{--with-double=32,64} @option{--with-long-double=32} will be | |
2499 | rejected because the first option specifies the availability of | |
2500 | multilibs for @samp{double}, whereas the second option implies | |
2501 | that @samp{long double} --- and hence also @samp{double} --- is always | |
2502 | 32@tie{}bits wide. | |

d672c0af | 2504 | @item --with-double-comparison=@{tristate|bool|libf7@} |
f30dd607 GJL |
2505 | Only supported for the AVR target since version@tie{}10. |
2506 | Specify what result format is returned by library functions that | |
2507 | compare 64-bit floating point values (@code{DFmode}). | |
2508 | The GCC default is @samp{tristate}. If the floating point | |
2509 | implementation returns a boolean instead, set it to @samp{bool}. | |
2510 | ||
2511 | @item --with-libf7=@{libgcc|math|math-symbols|no@} | |
2512 | Only supported for the AVR target since version@tie{}10. | |
2513 | Specify to which degree code from LibF7 is included in libgcc. | |
2514 | LibF7 is an ad-hoc, AVR-specific, 64-bit floating point emulation | |
2515 | written in C and (inline) assembly. @samp{libgcc} adds support | |
2516 | for functions that one would usually expect in libgcc like double addition, | |
2517 | double comparisons and double conversions. @samp{math} also adds routines | |
2518 | that one would expect in @file{libm.a}, but with @code{__} (two underscores) | |
2519 | prepended to the symbol names as specified by @file{math.h}. | |
2520 | @samp{math-symbols} also defines weak aliases for the functions | |
2521 | declared in @file{math.h}. However, @code{--with-libf7} won't | |
2522 | install no @file{math.h} header file whatsoever, this file must come | |
2523 | from elsewhere. This option sets @option{--with-double-comparison} | |
2524 | to @samp{bool}. | |
2525 | ||
9304f876 CJW |
2526 | @item --with-nds32-lib=@var{library} |
2527 | Specifies that @var{library} setting is used for building @file{libgcc.a}. | |
2528 | Currently, the valid @var{library} is @samp{newlib} or @samp{mculib}. | |
2529 | This option is only supported for the NDS32 target. | |
2530 | ||
cc11cc9b PB |
2531 | @item --with-build-time-tools=@var{dir} |
2532 | Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler, linker, etc.) | |
2533 | that will be used while building GCC itself. This option can be useful | |
2534 | if the directory layouts are different between the system you are building | |
2535 | GCC on, and the system where you will deploy it. | |
2536 | ||
e4ae5e77 | 2537 | For example, on an @samp{ia64-hp-hpux} system, you may have the GNU |
cc11cc9b PB |
2538 | assembler and linker in @file{/usr/bin}, and the native tools in a |
2539 | different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the | |
2540 | native tools in @file{/usr/bin}. | |
2541 | ||
2542 | When you use this option, you should ensure that @var{dir} includes | |
2543 | @command{ar}, @command{as}, @command{ld}, @command{nm}, | |
2544 | @command{ranlib} and @command{strip} if necessary, and possibly | |
2545 | @command{objdump}. Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of | |
2546 | tools. | |

2550 | ||
2551 | Sometimes, it might be necessary to override the result of some | |
2552 | @command{configure} test, for example in order to ease porting to a new | |
2553 | system or work around a bug in a test. The toplevel @command{configure} | |

2556 | @table @code | |
2557 | ||
2558 | @item build_configargs | |
2559 | @cindex @code{build_configargs} | |

2561 | scripts. | |
2562 | ||
2563 | @item host_configargs | |
2564 | @cindex @code{host_configargs} | |

2566 | scripts. | |
2567 | ||
2568 | @item target_configargs | |
2569 | @cindex @code{target_configargs} | |
2570 | The contents of this variable is passed to all target @command{configure} | |
2571 | scripts. | |

2573 | @end table | |
2574 | ||
2575 | In order to avoid shell and @command{make} quoting issues for complex | |
2576 | overrides, you can pass a setting for @env{CONFIG_SITE} and set | |
2577 | variables in the site file. | |

2582 | ||
2583 | @table @code | |
2584 | @item --enable-objc-gc | |
2585 | Specify that an additional variant of the GNU Objective-C runtime library | |
2586 | is built, using an external build of the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage | |
efbf0f1e | 2587 | collector (@uref{https://www.hboehm.info/gc/}). This library needs to be |
114bf3f1 MK |
2588 | available for each multilib variant, unless configured with |
2589 | @option{--enable-objc-gc=@samp{auto}} in which case the build of the | |
2590 | additional runtime library is skipped when not available and the build | |
2591 | continues. | |

2594 | @itemx --with-target-bdw-gc-include=@var{list} | |
2595 | @itemx --with-target-bdw-gc-lib=@var{list} | |
2596 | Specify search directories for the garbage collector header files and | |
2597 | libraries. @var{list} is a comma separated list of key value pairs of the | |
f521b293 | 2598 | form @samp{@var{multilibdir}=@var{path}}, where the default multilib key |
630ba2fd | 2599 | is named as @samp{.} (dot), or is omitted (e.g.@: |
114bf3f1 MK |
2600 | @samp{--with-target-bdw-gc=/opt/bdw-gc,32=/opt-bdw-gc32}). |
2601 | ||
2602 | The options @option{--with-target-bdw-gc-include} and | |
2603 | @option{--with-target-bdw-gc-lib} must always be specified together | |
2604 | for each multilib variant and they take precedence over | |
8465132c MK |
2605 | @option{--with-target-bdw-gc}. If @option{--with-target-bdw-gc-include} |
2606 | is missing values for a multilib, then the value for the default | |
630ba2fd | 2607 | multilib is used (e.g.@: @samp{--with-target-bdw-gc-include=/opt/bdw-gc/include} |
8465132c MK |
2608 | @samp{--with-target-bdw-gc-lib=/opt/bdw-gc/lib64,32=/opt-bdw-gc/lib32}). |

2613 | @subheading D-Specific Options |
2614 | ||
2615 | The following options apply to the build of the D runtime library. | |
2616 | ||
2617 | @table @code | |
66c22737 IB |
2618 | @item --enable-libphobos-checking |
2619 | @itemx --disable-libphobos-checking | |
2620 | @itemx --enable-libphobos-checking=@var{list} | |
2621 | This option controls whether run-time checks and contracts are compiled into | |
2622 | the D runtime library. When the option is not specified, the library is built | |
2623 | with @samp{release} checking. When the option is specified without a | |
2624 | @var{list}, the result is the same as @samp{--enable-libphobos-checking=yes}. | |
2625 | Likewise, @samp{--disable-libphobos-checking} is equivalent to | |
2626 | @samp{--enable-libphobos-checking=no}. | |
2627 | ||
2628 | The categories of checks available in @var{list} are @samp{yes} (compiles | |
2629 | libphobos with @option{-fno-release}), @samp{no} (compiles libphobos with | |
2630 | @option{-frelease}), @samp{all} (same as @samp{yes}), @samp{none} or | |
2631 | @samp{release} (same as @samp{no}). | |
2632 | ||
2633 | Individual checks available in @var{list} are @samp{assert} (compiles libphobos | |
2634 | with an extra option @option{-fassert}). | |
2635 | ||
2636 | @item --with-libphobos-druntime-only | |
2637 | @itemx --with-libphobos-druntime-only=@var{choice} | |
2638 | Specify whether to build only the core D runtime library (druntime), or both | |
2639 | the core and standard library (phobos) into libphobos. This is useful for | |
2640 | targets that have full support in druntime, but no or incomplete support | |
2641 | in phobos. @var{choice} can be one of @samp{auto}, @samp{yes}, and @samp{no} | |
2642 | where @samp{auto} is the default. | |
2643 | ||
2644 | When the option is not specified, the default choice @samp{auto} means that it | |
2645 | is inferred whether the target has support for the phobos standard library. | |
2646 | When the option is specified without a @var{choice}, the result is the same as | |
2647 | @samp{--with-libphobos-druntime-only=yes}. | |
2648 | ||
bb50312e IB |
2649 | @item --with-target-system-zlib |
2650 | Use installed @samp{zlib} rather than that included with GCC@. This needs | |
2651 | to be available for each multilib variant, unless configured with | |
2652 | @option{--with-target-system-zlib=@samp{auto}} in which case the GCC@ included | |
2653 | @samp{zlib} is only used when the system installed library is not available. | |

2674 | @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
2675 | ||
2676 | Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
2677 | runtime libraries. | |
2678 | ||
b8df899a | 2679 | Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a |
7ba4ca63 | 2680 | nonzero status) and be ignored by @command{make}. These failures, which |
b8df899a JM |
2681 | are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely |
2682 | be ignored. | |
2683 | ||
2684 | It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
2685 | Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
dd859b8a KG |
2686 | unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix |
2687 | any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past | |
2688 | warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag | |
2689 | @option{--disable-werror}. | |
b8df899a JM |
2690 | |
2691 | On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
6cfb3f16 | 2692 | @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. |
b8df899a JM |
2693 | |
2694 | If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
2695 | compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
2696 | because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
2697 | directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
2698 | ||
2699 | If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
4c64396e | 2700 | V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the |
b8df899a JM |
2701 | System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems |
2702 | result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
2703 | @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
2704 | that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
2705 | ||
161d7b59 | 2706 | The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. |
f42974dc | 2707 | |
f4d83eba | 2708 | Similarly, when building from the source repository or snapshots, or if you modify |
e8645a40 TT |
2709 | @file{*.l} files, you need the Flex lexical analyzer generator |
2710 | installed. If you do not modify @file{*.l} files, releases contain | |
2711 | the Flex-generated files and you do not need Flex installed to build | |
2712 | them. There is still one Flex-based lexical analyzer (part of the | |
2713 | build machinery, not of GCC itself) that is used even if you only | |
2714 | build the C front end. | |
f85b8d1a | 2715 | |
f4d83eba | 2716 | When building from the source repository or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo |
7326a39e | 2717 | documentation, you need version 4.7 or later of Texinfo installed if you |
f85b8d1a JM |
2718 | want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info |
2719 | documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |

2721 | @section Building a native compiler |
2722 | ||
f5c3bb4b PB |
2723 | For a native build, the default configuration is to perform |
2724 | a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when @samp{make} is invoked. | |
2725 | This will build the entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles | |
2726 | itself correctly. It can be disabled with the @option{--disable-bootstrap} | |
2727 | parameter to @samp{configure}, but bootstrapping is suggested because | |
2728 | the compiler will be tested more completely and could also have | |
2729 | better performance. | |
2730 | ||
2731 | The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps: | |

f42974dc DW |
2736 | |
2737 | @item | |
cc11cc9b PB |
2738 | Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This includes building |
2739 | three times the target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils | |
2740 | (bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they have been | |
2741 | individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source tree before | |
2742 | configuring. | |
f42974dc DW |
2743 | |
2744 | @item | |
2745 | Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
2746 | ||
2747 | @item | |
2748 | Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
f9047ed3 | 2749 | |
f42974dc DW |
2750 | @end itemize |
2751 | ||
38209993 | 2752 | If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make |
cc11cc9b PB |
2753 | bootstrap-lean} instead. The sequence of compilation is the |
2754 | same described above, but object files from the stage1 and | |
f42974dc DW |
2755 | stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as |
2756 | soon as they are no longer needed. | |
2757 | ||
1c8bd6a3 PB |
2758 | If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 |
2759 | and stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when | |
2760 | doing @samp{make}. For example, if you want to save additional space | |
2761 | during the bootstrap and in the final installation as well, you can | |
2762 | build the compiler binaries without debugging information as in the | |
2763 | following example. This will save roughly 40% of disk space both for | |
2764 | the bootstrap and the final installation. (Libraries will still contain | |
2765 | debugging information.) | |
f42974dc | 2766 | |
3ab51846 | 2767 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 2768 | make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap |
3ab51846 | 2769 | @end smallexample |
8c085f6f | 2770 | |
1c8bd6a3 PB |
2771 | You can place non-default optimization flags into @code{BOOT_CFLAGS}; they |
2772 | are less well tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should | |
2773 | still work. In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special | |
2774 | flags such as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, | |
2775 | if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need | |
2776 | to work around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts | |
2777 | of the stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
f85b8d1a JM |
2778 | bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. |
2779 | ||
1c8bd6a3 PB |
2780 | @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} does not apply to bootstrapped target libraries. |
2781 | Since these are always compiled with the compiler currently being | |
2782 | bootstrapped, you can use @code{CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET} to modify their | |
2783 | compilation flags, as for non-bootstrapped target libraries. | |
2784 | Again, if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may | |
2785 | need to work around this by avoiding non-working parts of the stage1 | |
4a4a4e99 | 2786 | compiler. Use @code{STAGE1_TFLAGS} to this end. |
c872077c | 2787 | |
6cfb3f16 | 2788 | If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict |
f42974dc | 2789 | the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be |
767094dd | 2790 | built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for |
f42974dc | 2791 | which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, |
cc11cc9b | 2792 | that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make} |
ef88b07d | 2793 | @strong{does not} work anymore! |
f42974dc | 2794 | |
f85b8d1a | 2795 | If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates |
eea81d3e | 2796 | that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore |
f85b8d1a JM |
2797 | a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On |
2798 | a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
2799 | always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
2800 | need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |
f42974dc | 2801 | |
cc11cc9b PB |
2802 | If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with |
2803 | @option{--disable-bootstrap}. In particular cases, you may want to | |
2804 | bootstrap your compiler even if the target system is not the same as | |
2805 | the one you are building on: for example, you could build a | |
2806 | @code{powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu} toolchain on a | |
2807 | @code{powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu} host. In this case, pass | |

2828 | @item @samp{bootstrap-lto} |
2829 | Enables Link-Time Optimization for host tools during bootstrapping. | |
2830 | @samp{BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-lto} is equivalent to adding | |
871fe673 | 2831 | @option{-flto} to @samp{BOOT_CFLAGS}. This option assumes that the host |
630ba2fd | 2832 | supports the linker plugin (e.g.@: GNU ld version 2.21 or later or GNU gold |
871fe673 UB |
2833 | version 2.21 or later). |
2834 | ||
2835 | @item @samp{bootstrap-lto-noplugin} | |
2836 | This option is similar to @code{bootstrap-lto}, but is intended for | |
47eec994 GP |
2837 | hosts that do not support the linker plugin. Without the linker plugin |
2838 | static libraries are not compiled with link-time optimizations. Since | |
2839 | the GCC middle end and back end are in @file{libbackend.a} this means | |
2840 | that only the front end is actually LTO optimized. | |
339325b3 | 2841 | |
1c67e69c ML |
2842 | @item @samp{bootstrap-lto-lean} |
2843 | This option is similar to @code{bootstrap-lto}, but is intended for | |
2844 | faster build by only using LTO in the final bootstrap stage. | |
2845 | With @samp{make profiledbootstrap} the LTO frontend | |
2846 | is trained only on generator files. | |
2847 | ||
4a4a4e99 | 2848 | @item @samp{bootstrap-debug} |
b5b8b0ac | 2849 | Verifies that the compiler generates the same executable code, whether |
e12c4094 AO |
2850 | or not it is asked to emit debug information. To this end, this |
2851 | option builds stage2 host programs without debug information, and uses | |
b5b8b0ac AO |
2852 | @file{contrib/compare-debug} to compare them with the stripped stage3 |
2853 | object files. If @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} is overridden so as to not enable | |
2854 | debug information, stage2 will have it, and stage3 won't. This option | |
e12c4094 AO |
2855 | is enabled by default when GCC bootstrapping is enabled, if |
2856 | @code{strip} can turn object files compiled with and without debug | |
2857 | info into identical object files. In addition to better test | |
2858 | coverage, this option makes default bootstraps faster and leaner. | |
b5b8b0ac AO |
2859 | |
2860 | @item @samp{bootstrap-debug-big} | |
e12c4094 AO |
2861 | Rather than comparing stripped object files, as in |
2862 | @code{bootstrap-debug}, this option saves internal compiler dumps | |
2863 | during stage2 and stage3 and compares them as well, which helps catch | |
2864 | additional potential problems, but at a great cost in terms of disk | |
2865 | space. It can be specified in addition to @samp{bootstrap-debug}. | |
b5b8b0ac AO |
2866 | |
2867 | @item @samp{bootstrap-debug-lean} | |
2868 | This option saves disk space compared with @code{bootstrap-debug-big}, | |
2869 | but at the expense of some recompilation. Instead of saving the dumps | |
2870 | of stage2 and stage3 until the final compare, it uses | |
2871 | @option{-fcompare-debug} to generate, compare and remove the dumps | |
2872 | during stage3, repeating the compilation that already took place in | |
2873 | stage2, whose dumps were not saved. | |
2874 | ||
2875 | @item @samp{bootstrap-debug-lib} | |
2876 | This option tests executable code invariance over debug information | |
2877 | generation on target libraries, just like @code{bootstrap-debug-lean} | |
2878 | tests it on host programs. It builds stage3 libraries with | |
2879 | @option{-fcompare-debug}, and it can be used along with any of the | |
2880 | @code{bootstrap-debug} options above. | |
2881 | ||
2882 | There aren't @code{-lean} or @code{-big} counterparts to this option | |
2883 | because most libraries are only build in stage3, so bootstrap compares | |
2884 | would not get significant coverage. Moreover, the few libraries built | |
2885 | in stage2 are used in stage3 host programs, so we wouldn't want to | |
2886 | compile stage2 libraries with different options for comparison purposes. | |
2887 | ||
2888 | @item @samp{bootstrap-debug-ckovw} | |
2889 | Arranges for error messages to be issued if the compiler built on any | |
2890 | stage is run without the option @option{-fcompare-debug}. This is | |
2891 | useful to verify the full @option{-fcompare-debug} testing coverage. It | |
2892 | must be used along with @code{bootstrap-debug-lean} and | |
2893 | @code{bootstrap-debug-lib}. | |
2894 | ||
c58a9f35 L |
2895 | @item @samp{bootstrap-cet} |
2896 | This option enables Intel CET for host tools during bootstrapping. | |
2897 | @samp{BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-cet} is equivalent to adding | |
48f64e05 | 2898 | @option{-fcf-protection} to @samp{BOOT_CFLAGS}. This option |
630ba2fd | 2899 | assumes that the host supports Intel CET (e.g.@: GNU assembler version |

2918 | @section Building a cross compiler |
2919 | ||
f42974dc DW |
2920 | When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a |
2921 | 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
161d7b59 | 2922 | as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. |
f42974dc | 2923 | |
0b70519f | 2924 | To build a cross compiler, we recommend first building and installing a |
f42974dc | 2925 | native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the |
635771af JM |
2926 | cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version |
2927 | 2.95 or later. | |
f42974dc DW |
2928 | |
2929 | Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
6cfb3f16 | 2930 | your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the |
f42974dc DW |
2931 | following steps: |
2932 | ||
2933 | @itemize @bullet | |
2934 | @item | |
80521187 | 2935 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler. |
f42974dc DW |
2936 | |
2937 | @item | |
2938 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
2939 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) | |
2940 | if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source | |
2941 | tree before configuring. | |
2942 | ||
2943 | @item | |
2944 | Build the compiler (single stage only). | |
2945 | ||
2946 | @item | |
2947 | Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |
2948 | @end itemize | |
2949 | ||
2950 | Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. | |
2951 | ||
01e97976 JM |
2952 | If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC, |
2953 | you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before | |
2954 | configuring GCC@. Put them in the directory | |
2955 | @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/bin}. Here is a table of the tools | |
2956 | you should put in this directory: | |
2957 | ||
2958 | @table @file | |
2959 | @item as | |
2960 | This should be the cross-assembler. | |
2961 | ||
2962 | @item ld | |
2963 | This should be the cross-linker. | |
2964 | ||
2965 | @item ar | |
2966 | This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate | |
2967 | archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format. | |
2968 | ||
2969 | @item ranlib | |
2970 | This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file. | |
2971 | @end table | |
2972 | ||
2973 | The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory, | |
2974 | and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to | |
2975 | find them when run later. | |
2976 | ||
2977 | The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils package. | |
2978 | Configure it with the same @option{--host} and @option{--target} | |
2979 | options that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install | |
2980 | them. They install their executables automatically into the proper | |
2981 | directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC | |
2982 | supports. | |
2983 | ||
2984 | If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC, | |
2985 | you should also provide the target libraries and headers before | |
2986 | configuring GCC, specifying the directories with | |
2987 | @option{--with-sysroot} or @option{--with-headers} and | |
2988 | @option{--with-libs}. Many targets also require ``start files'' such | |
2989 | as @file{crt0.o} and | |
2990 | @file{crtn.o} which are linked into each executable. There may be several | |
2991 | alternatives for @file{crt0.o}, for use with profiling or other | |
2992 | compilation options. Check your target's definition of | |
2993 | @code{STARTFILE_SPEC} to find out what start files it uses. | |

2995 | @section Building in parallel |
2996 | ||
0b70519f | 2997 | GNU Make 3.80 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support |
d7f755c3 | 2998 | building in parallel. To activate this, you can use @samp{make -j 2} |
ff2ce160 | 2999 | instead of @samp{make}. You can also specify a bigger number, and |
cc11cc9b PB |
3000 | in most cases using a value greater than the number of processors in |
3001 | your machine will result in fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus | |
3002 | improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow drives | |
3003 | and network filesystems. | |

3023 | @section Building with profile feedback |
3024 | ||
3025 | It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself. This | |
3026 | should result in a faster compiler binary. Experiments done on x86 using gcc | |
3027 | 3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C programs. To | |
cc11cc9b | 3028 | bootstrap the compiler with profile feedback, use @code{make profiledbootstrap}. |
8f231b5d JH |
3029 | |
3030 | When @samp{make profiledbootstrap} is run, it will first build a @code{stage1} | |
3031 | compiler. This compiler is used to build a @code{stageprofile} compiler | |
3032 | instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch | |
0d053a49 ML |
3033 | probabilities. Training run is done by building @code{stagetrain} |
3034 | compiler. Finally a @code{stagefeedback} compiler is built | |
3035 | using the information collected. | |
8f231b5d | 3036 | |
cc11cc9b | 3037 | Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply. The |
8f231b5d | 3038 | compiler used to build @code{stage1} needs to support a 64-bit integral type. |
167c3e96 | 3039 | It is recommended to only use GCC for this. |
8f231b5d | 3040 | |
277d7ee0 AK |
3041 | On Linux/x86_64 hosts with some restrictions (no virtualization) it is |
3042 | also possible to do autofdo build with @samp{make | |
3043 | autoprofiledback}. This uses Linux perf to sample branches in the | |
3044 | binary and then rebuild it with feedback derived from the profile. | |
3045 | Linux perf and the @code{autofdo} toolkit needs to be installed for | |
3046 | this. | |
3047 | ||
3048 | Only the profile from the current build is used, so when an error | |
3049 | occurs it is recommended to clean before restarting. Otherwise | |
3050 | the code quality may be much worse. | |

3074 | Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to |
3075 | compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
3076 | been submitted to the | |
786973ce | 3077 | @uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. |
05253aed | 3078 | Some of these archived results are linked from the build status lists |
786973ce | 3079 | at @uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}, although not everyone who |
05253aed | 3080 | reports a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. |
f97903cc JJ |
3081 | This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, |
3082 | but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
8a36672b | 3083 | problems before you install and start using your new GCC@. |
f42974dc | 3084 | |
f9047ed3 | 3085 | First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. |
f97903cc JJ |
3086 | These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the |
3087 | ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
3088 | separately. | |
f42974dc | 3089 | |
f97903cc | 3090 | Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes |
786973ce | 3091 | @uref{https://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,DejaGnu}, Tcl, and Expect; |
900b1c27 ML |
3092 | the DejaGnu site has links to these. |
3093 | Some optional tests also require Python3 and pytest module. | |
f42974dc | 3094 | |
8cacda7c GP |
3095 | If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were |
3096 | installed are not in the @env{PATH}, you may need to set the following | |
3097 | environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which | |
3098 | assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under @file{/usr/local}): | |
f42974dc | 3099 | |
3ab51846 | 3100 | @smallexample |
98797784 RW |
3101 | TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 |
3102 | DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
3ab51846 | 3103 | @end smallexample |
f42974dc | 3104 | |
8cacda7c | 3105 | (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual |
f42974dc | 3106 | paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of |
8cacda7c | 3107 | portability in the DejaGnu code.) |
ecb7d6b3 | 3108 | |
f42974dc DW |
3109 | |
3110 | Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
3ab51846 | 3111 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3112 | cd @var{objdir}; make -k check |
3ab51846 | 3113 | @end smallexample |
f42974dc | 3114 | |
794aca5d WB |
3115 | This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler |
3116 | front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu | |
3117 | might emit some harmless messages resembling | |
daf2f129 | 3118 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or |
794aca5d | 3119 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file} that can be ignored. |
06809951 | 3120 | |
82161911 | 3121 | If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the testsuite |
786973ce | 3122 | on a simulator as described at @uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html}. |
82161911 | 3123 | |
962e6e00 | 3124 | @section How can you run the testsuite on selected tests? |
f42974dc | 3125 | |
794aca5d | 3126 | In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets |
6c6b6634 | 3127 | @samp{make check-gcc} and language specific @samp{make check-c}, |
b4c522fa | 3128 | @samp{make check-c++}, @samp{make check-d} @samp{make check-fortran}, |
6c6b6634 BRF |
3129 | @samp{make check-ada}, @samp{make check-objc}, @samp{make check-obj-c++}, |
3130 | @samp{make check-lto} | |
794aca5d WB |
3131 | in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. You can also |
3132 | just run @samp{make check} in a subdirectory of the object directory. | |
3133 | ||
3134 | ||
3135 | A more selective way to just run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the | |
3136 | testsuite is to use | |
f42974dc | 3137 | |
3ab51846 | 3138 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3139 | make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" |
3ab51846 | 3140 | @end smallexample |
f42974dc | 3141 | |
794aca5d WB |
3142 | Likewise, in order to run only the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in |
3143 | the testsuite with filenames matching @samp{9805*}, you would use | |
f42974dc | 3144 | |
3ab51846 | 3145 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3146 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" |
3ab51846 | 3147 | @end smallexample |
f42974dc | 3148 | |
d35bcdd4 DS |
3149 | The file-matching expression following @var{filename}@command{.exp=} is treated |
3150 | as a series of whitespace-delimited glob expressions so that multiple patterns | |
3151 | may be passed, although any whitespace must either be escaped or surrounded by | |
3152 | single quotes if multiple expressions are desired. For example, | |
3153 | ||
3154 | @smallexample | |
3155 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805*\ virtual2.c @var{other-options}" | |
3156 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="'old-deja.exp=9805* virtual2.c' @var{other-options}" | |
3157 | @end smallexample | |
3158 | ||
6cfb3f16 JM |
3159 | The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC |
3160 | source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
3161 | @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |

3166 | @section Passing options and running multiple testsuites |
3167 | ||
3168 | You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the | |
3169 | @samp{--target_board} option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of | |
3170 | @samp{RUNTESTFLAGS}, or directly to @command{runtest} if you prefer to | |
3171 | work outside the makefiles. For example, | |
3172 | ||
3ab51846 | 3173 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3174 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants" |
3ab51846 | 3175 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3176 | |
3177 | will run the standard @command{g++} testsuites (``unix'' is the target name | |
3178 | for a standard native testsuite situation), passing | |
311c6da4 | 3179 | @samp{-O3 -fmerge-constants} to the compiler on every test, i.e., |
e08737dc PE |
3180 | slashes separate options. |
3181 | ||
3182 | You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of options | |
3183 | with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells: | |
3184 | ||
3ab51846 | 3185 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3186 | @dots{}"--target_board=arm-sim\@{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\@}\@{-O1,-O2,-O3,\@}" |
3ab51846 | 3187 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3188 | |
3189 | (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final group.) | |
3190 | The following will run each testsuite eight times using the @samp{arm-sim} | |
3191 | target, as if you had specified all possible combinations yourself: | |
3192 | ||
3ab51846 | 3193 | @smallexample |
5f11ec71 SE |
3194 | --target_board='arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 \ |
3195 | arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 \ | |
3196 | arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 \ | |
3197 | arm-sim/-mhard-float \ | |
3198 | arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 \ | |
3199 | arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 \ | |
3200 | arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 \ | |
3201 | arm-sim/-msoft-float' | |
3ab51846 | 3202 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3203 | |
3204 | They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. This | |
3205 | list: | |
3206 | ||
3ab51846 | 3207 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3208 | @dots{}"--target_board=unix/-Wextra\@{-O3,-fno-strength\@}\@{-fomit-frame,\@}" |
3ab51846 | 3209 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3210 | |
3211 | will generate four combinations, all involving @samp{-Wextra}. | |
3212 | ||
3213 | The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in serial, | |
3214 | which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU Make and | |
3215 | a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in | |
3216 | parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and @command{make} | |
3217 | do the parallel runs. Instead of using @samp{--target_board}, use a | |
3218 | special makefile target: | |
3219 | ||
3ab51846 | 3220 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3221 | make -j@var{N} check-@var{testsuite}//@var{test-target}/@var{option1}/@var{option2}/@dots{} |
3ab51846 | 3222 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3223 | |
3224 | For example, | |
3225 | ||
3ab51846 | 3226 | @smallexample |
98797784 | 3227 | make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/@{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4@}/@{,-nofpu@} |
3ab51846 | 3228 | @end smallexample |
e08737dc PE |
3229 | |
3230 | will run three concurrent ``make-gcc'' testsuites, eventually testing all | |
3231 | ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently only | |
3232 | supported in the @file{gcc} subdirectory. (To see how this works, try | |
3233 | typing @command{echo} before the example given here.) | |

3301 | @end ifnothtml | |
3302 | ||
eea81d3e | 3303 | Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with |
3ab51846 | 3304 | @smallexample |
455c8f48 | 3305 | cd @var{objdir} && make install |
3ab51846 | 3306 | @end smallexample |
f42974dc | 3307 | |
06809951 | 3308 | We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is |
4b322f43 JB |
3309 | no previous version of GCC present. Also, the GNAT runtime should not |
3310 | be stripped, as this would break certain features of the debugger that | |
3311 | depend on this debugging information (catching Ada exceptions for | |
3312 | instance). | |
06809951 | 3313 | |
f42974dc | 3314 | That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can |
8e5f33ff GK |
3315 | be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value |
3316 | you specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or | |
3317 | @file{/usr/local} by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, | |
3318 | that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if you specified | |
3319 | @option{--exec-prefix}, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) | |
97a2feb6 | 3320 | Headers for the C++ library are installed in |
8e5f33ff GK |
3321 | @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries in @file{@var{libdir}} |
3322 | (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal parts of the compiler in | |
3323 | @file{@var{libdir}/gcc} and @file{@var{libexecdir}/gcc}; documentation | |
3324 | in info format in @file{@var{infodir}} (normally | |
3325 | @file{@var{prefix}/info}). | |
f42974dc | 3326 | |
53b50ac1 CC |
3327 | When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables |
3328 | are not only installed into @file{@var{bindir}}, that | |
3329 | is, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}, but additionally into | |
3330 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin}, if that directory | |
3331 | exists. Typically, such @dfn{tooldirs} hold target-specific | |
3332 | binutils, including assembler and linker. | |
3333 | ||
3334 | Installation into a temporary staging area or into a @command{chroot} | |
3335 | jail can be achieved with the command | |
3336 | ||
3ab51846 | 3337 | @smallexample |
53b50ac1 | 3338 | make DESTDIR=@var{path-to-rootdir} install |
3ab51846 | 3339 | @end smallexample |
53b50ac1 | 3340 | |
455c8f48 RW |
3341 | @noindent |
3342 | where @var{path-to-rootdir} is the absolute path of | |
53b50ac1 CC |
3343 | a directory relative to which all installation paths will be |
3344 | interpreted. Note that the directory specified by @code{DESTDIR} | |
3345 | need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary. | |
3346 | ||
3347 | There is a subtle point with tooldirs and @code{DESTDIR}: | |
3348 | If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with | |
3349 | e.g.@: @samp{DESTDIR=@var{rootdir}}, then the directory | |
3350 | @file{@var{rootdir}/@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin} will | |
3351 | be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, | |
3352 | it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, | |
3353 | not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers | |
3354 | using the @code{DESTDIR} feature. | |
3355 | ||
455c8f48 RW |
3356 | You can install stripped programs and libraries with |

3730 | @option{--enable-fix-cortex-a53-843419} option. This workaround is applied at | |

3739 | To enable Branch Target Identification Mechanism and Return Address Signing by |

3742 | during compilation. This can be explicitly disabled during compilation by | |
3743 | passing the @option{-mbranch-protection=none} option which turns off all | |
3744 | types of branch protections. Conversely, | |
3745 | @option{--disable-standard-branch-protection} will disable both the | |

3934 | In order to better utilize FreeBSD base system functionality and match |
3935 | the configuration of the system compiler, GCC 4.5 and above as well as | |
3936 | GCC 4.4 past 2010-06-20 leverage SSP support in libc (which is present | |
3937 | on FreeBSD 7 or later) and the use of @code{__cxa_atexit} by default | |

3942 | We support FreeBSD using the ELF file format with DWARF 2 debugging |
3943 | for all CPU architectures. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead of | |
3944 | @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
021c4bfd | 3945 | no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different |
02c8b4f8 LR |
3946 | debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match |
3947 | more of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of | |
3948 | GCC@. In particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by | |
3949 | default. However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the | |
3950 | system compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with | |
3951 | good results on FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE@. In the past, known to bootstrap | |

3999 | The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and may |
4000 | not work. It shouldn't be used with any languages other than C due to its | |
4001 | many limitations. | |
4002 | ||
4003 | Specifically, @option{-g} does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging | |
4004 | format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps | |
4005 | into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to | |
4006 | fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying | |
4007 | @samp{make all-host all-target} after getting the failure from @samp{make}. | |
4008 | ||
4009 | Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak | |
4010 | symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
4011 | are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to | |
4012 | build many C++ applications. | |

4014 | There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are |
4015 | PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc | |
4016 | architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. | |
4017 | PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when | |
4018 | the target is a @samp{hppa1*} machine. | |
806bf413 JDA |
4019 | |
4020 | The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, | |
4021 | it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when | |
4022 | configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro | |
4023 | TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different | |
4024 | default scheduling model is desired. | |

25f710ba | 4026 | As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 |
d711cf67 JDA |
4027 | through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. |
4028 | This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with | |
4029 | an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same | |
4030 | namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided | |
4031 | in a number of ways. With HP cc, @env{UNIX_STD} can be set to @samp{95} | |
4032 | or @samp{98}. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines | |
4033 | to @env{CC}. The description for the @option{munix=} option contains | |
4034 | a list of the predefines used with each standard. | |

4066 | Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The |
4067 | bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP's | |
4068 | unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC@. | |
4069 | ||
c5124497 JDA |
4070 | It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler, |
4071 | but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to | |
97a2feb6 | 4072 | build later versions. |
08b3d104 | 4073 | |
c5124497 JDA |
4074 | There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. |
4075 | Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
4076 | distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
8a36672b | 4077 | first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC@. |
c5124497 JDA |
4078 | There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it |
4079 | is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |
4080 | ||
4081 | On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different | |
4082 | installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on | |
4083 | the same system. The @samp{hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*} target generates code | |
4084 | for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. | |
4085 | The @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target generates 64-bit code for the | |
be7659ba | 4086 | PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. |
c5124497 JDA |
4087 | |
4088 | The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler | |
4089 | detected during configuration. You must define @env{PATH} or @env{CC} so | |
4090 | that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap. | |
4091 | When @env{CC} is used, the definition should contain the options that are | |
4092 | needed whenever @env{CC} is used. | |
4093 | ||
4094 | Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be | |
4095 | in @env{CC} to correctly select the target for the build. It is also | |
f0eb93a8 | 4096 | convenient to place many other compiler options in @env{CC}. For example, |
c5124497 JDA |
4097 | @env{CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"} |
4098 | can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in | |
4099 | 64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The @option{+DA2.0W} option will result in | |
4100 | the automatic selection of the @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target. The | |
4101 | macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful | |
4102 | build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to | |
4103 | be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the | |
4104 | @option{-Ac} option. These defines aren't necessary with @option{-Ae}. | |
8c085f6f | 4105 | |
c5124497 JDA |
4106 | It is best to explicitly configure the @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target |
4107 | with the @option{--with-ld=@dots{}} option. This overrides the standard | |
4108 | search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different | |
4109 | commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a | |
4110 | result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build. | |
d1facce0 RW |
4111 | This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils |
4112 | and GCC@. | |
c5124497 | 4113 | |
c5124497 JDA |
4114 | A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of |
4115 | GCC 3.3 and later. @code{PHSS_26559} and @code{PHSS_24304} are the | |
4116 | oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX | |
4117 | 11.00 and 11.11, respectively. @code{PHSS_24303}, the companion to | |
4118 | @code{PHSS_24304}, might be usable but it hasn't been tested. These | |
4119 | patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain | |
4120 | the currently recommended linker patch for your system. | |
4121 | ||
4122 | The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the | |
4123 | 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak | |
4124 | symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior | |
4125 | to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. | |
4126 | The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared | |
4127 | libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other | |
4128 | linking issues involving secondary symbols. | |
4129 | ||
4130 | GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to | |
4131 | run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port | |
4132 | uses the linker @option{+init} and @option{+fini} options for the same | |
4133 | purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini | |
4134 | options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a | |
4135 | problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of | |
4136 | the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers. | |
f401d0f5 | 4137 | |
be7659ba JDA |
4138 | Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the |
4139 | @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target, it is strongly recommended that the | |
4140 | HP linker be used for link editing on this target. | |
4141 | ||
4142 | At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long | |
fd250f0d | 4143 | branch stubs. As a result, it cannot successfully link binaries |
be7659ba JDA |
4144 | containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, |
4145 | there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables | |
4146 | with @option{-static}, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. | |
4147 | It also doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions | |
fd250f0d | 4148 | in shared libraries, so these calls cannot be overloaded. |
be7659ba JDA |
4149 | |
4150 | The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol | |
4151 | versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol | |
4152 | versioning with @option{--disable-symvers} when using GNU ld. | |
4153 | ||
4154 | POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not | |
4155 | supported, so @option{--enable-threads=dce} does not work. | |

4249 | GCC 4.9 and above require a C++ compiler for bootstrap. IBM VAC++ / xlC |

4252 | ||
c58c92f5 DE |
4253 | GCC can bootstrap with recent versions of IBM XLC, but bootstrapping |
4254 | with an earlier release of GCC is recommended. Bootstrapping with XLC | |
4255 | requires a larger data segment, which can be enabled through the | |
4256 | @var{LDR_CNTRL} environment variable, e.g., | |
4257 | ||
4258 | @smallexample | |
98797784 RW |

4263 | One can start with a pre-compiled version of GCC to build from | |
4264 | sources. One may delete GCC's ``fixed'' header files when starting | |
4265 | with a version of GCC built for an earlier release of AIX. | |
4266 | ||
e8d8a034 DE |
4267 | To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing GCC, |
4268 | one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX @command{/bin/sh}, e.g., | |
4269 | ||
4270 | @smallexample | |
98797784 RW |
4271 | % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash |

4275 | and then proceed as described in @uref{build.html,,the build |
4276 | instructions}, where we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path | |

4277 | to invoke @var{srcdir}/configure. |

4279 | Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default, |
4280 | (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries | |
4281 | required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR | |
4282 | as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries. | |
4283 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 4284 | Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due |
021c4bfd | 4285 | to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files |
161d7b59 | 4286 | compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of |
6cfb3f16 JM |
4287 | the build, the native AIX compiler @strong{must} be invoked as @command{cc} |
4288 | (not @command{xlc}). Once @command{configure} has been informed of | |
4289 | @command{xlc}, one needs to use @samp{make distclean} to remove the | |
38209993 | 4290 | configure cache files and ensure that @env{CC} environment variable |
f42974dc DW |
4291 | does not provide a definition that will confuse @command{configure}. |
4292 | If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely | |
4293 | is the version of Make (see above). | |

4295 | The native @command{as} and @command{ld} are recommended for |

4525 | If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying ``does not have gp |
4526 | sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]'', don't worry about it. This | |
4527 | happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
4528 | really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
4529 | stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
4530 | ||
4531 | It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
4532 | optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |

4534 | The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II |
4535 | and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to | |
4536 | make @samp{mips*-*-*} use the generic implementation instead. You can also | |
4537 | configure for @samp{mipsel-elf} as a workaround. The | |
4538 | @samp{mips*-*-linux*} target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More | |
4539 | work on this is expected in future releases. | |
4540 | ||

4541 | @c If you make --with-llsc the default for another target, please also |
4542 | @c update the description of the --with-llsc option. | |
4543 | ||
4544 | The built-in @code{__sync_*} functions are available on MIPS II and | |
4545 | later systems and others that support the @samp{ll}, @samp{sc} and | |
4546 | @samp{sync} instructions. This can be overridden by passing | |
4547 | @option{--with-llsc} or @option{--without-llsc} when configuring GCC. | |
4548 | Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are | |
4549 | missing, the default for @samp{mips*-*-linux*} targets is | |
4550 | @option{--with-llsc}. The @option{--with-llsc} and | |
4551 | @option{--without-llsc} configure options may be overridden at compile | |
4552 | time by passing the @option{-mllsc} or @option{-mno-llsc} options to | |
4553 | the compiler. | |
4554 | ||
9f0df97a DD |
4555 | MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless |
4556 | @option{-mno-check-zero-division} is passed to the compiler) by | |
4557 | generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using | |
4558 | trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and | |
4559 | later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that | |
8a36672b | 4560 | prevents trap from generating the proper signal (@code{SIGFPE}). To enable |
9f0df97a | 4561 | the use of break, use the @option{--with-divide=breaks} |
8a36672b | 4562 | @command{configure} option when configuring GCC@. The default is to |
9f0df97a DD |
4563 | use traps on systems that support them. |

f4dff765 | 4850 | The current version, from GNU binutils 2.34, |
57e7db04 | 4851 | is known to work as well. Note that your mileage may vary |
a8430f19 | 4852 | if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Solaris tools: while the |

4853 | combination GNU @command{as} + Solaris @command{ld} should reasonably work, |
4854 | the reverse combination Solaris @command{as} + GNU @command{ld} may fail to | |

ccd1242e | 4857 | GNU @command{ld} usually works as well. Again, the current |
f4dff765 | 4858 | version (2.34) is known to work, but generally lacks platform specific |
a8430f19 | 4859 | features, so better stay with Solaris @command{ld}. To use the LTO linker |
493dd43c RO |

4869 | In order to build the GNU D compiler, GDC, a working @samp{libphobos} is |
4870 | needed. That library wasn't built by default in GCC 9--11 on SPARC, or | |
4871 | on x86 when the Solaris assembler is used, but can be enabled by | |
4872 | configuring with @option{--enable-libphobos}. Also, GDC 9.4.0 is | |

4882 | While the version of the GMP library in Solaris 11.3 works with GCC, you | |

8c5cfa89 | 4911 | When GCC is configured to use GNU binutils 2.14 or later, the binaries |
f4dff765 | 4912 | produced are smaller than the ones produced using Solaris native tools; |

4918 | this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
4919 | However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
4920 | should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
4921 | code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |

4977bab6 | 4988 | Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports @emph{only} the |
8a36672b | 4989 | very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC@. |
4977bab6 ZW |
4990 | We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. |
4991 | Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |
4992 | a matter of writing an appropriate ``configlette'' (see below). We are | |
4993 | not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of | |
4994 | VxWorks in GCC 3. | |
4995 | ||
4996 | VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in | |
4997 | @file{@var{$WIND_BASE}/host}; we recommend you do not overwrite it. | |
4998 | Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}. | |
4999 | Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}} | |
5000 | and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler, | |
8a36672b | 5001 | linker, etc.@: into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to |
4977bab6 ZW |
5002 | include that directory while running both @command{configure} and |
5003 | @command{make}. | |
5004 | ||
5005 | You must give @command{configure} the | |
5006 | @option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can | |
5007 | find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
5008 | target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}. | |
5009 | @command{configure} will attempt to create the directory | |
5010 | @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it; | |
5011 | make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege | |
5012 | to do so. | |
5013 | ||
5014 | GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette'' | |
5015 | module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in | |
5016 | that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of | |
daf2f129 | 5017 | VxWorks will incorporate this module.) |

5160 | GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early |
5161 | 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
5162 | has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
c7bdf0a6 | 5163 | several years and may suffer from bitrot. |
f9047ed3 | 5164 | |
c7bdf0a6 | 5165 | Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems. |
9340544b ZW |
5166 | Support for these systems is still present in that release, but |
5167 | @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete} | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
5168 | option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these |
5169 | systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
5170 | |
5171 | Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
5172 | workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
161d7b59 | 5173 | cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to |
f9047ed3 JM |
5174 | bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may |
5175 | require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
5176 | system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the |
5177 | vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
5178 | @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
5179 | sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
5180 | @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
5181 | operating system may still cause problems. | |
5182 | ||
5183 | Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
5184 | problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
5185 | wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
80521187 | 5186 | the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
5187 | version before they were removed), patches |
5188 | @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
5189 | likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
5190 | modern targets. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
5191 | |
5192 | For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
021c4bfd | 5193 | and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on |
2139a88a | 5194 | @uref{https://sourceware.org/mirrors.html,,sourceware.org mirror sites}. |

5198 | about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
