Subject: [rfa/doco] PROBLEMS: document hpux cma thread build failure
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004 19:21:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040812192106.1F0004B359@berman.michael-chastain.com> (raw)
This patch adds a section to PROBLEMS for build/1411, which is a build
failure on HP/UX if the CMA thread package is installed.
I wrote this because a user came to bug-gdb@ today and reported the
same problem again. So I figure it's worth a mention in PROBLEMS.
(By the way, bug-gdb@gnu.org is the mailing list documented in
gdb.texinfo, but only two gdb maintainers are subscribed to it. It's
moderated now so you can subscribe and not get spam).
Testing: I don't have access to a system with CMA threads. If I did, I
would just fix the compile problem and run the gdb test suite and see if
CMA thread support even works! I did try the workaround on an hpux
11.11 system and gdb still built, before and after.
How about it?

+ build/1411: build fails on hpux 10.20 and hpux 11.00 with CMA threads
+
+ GDB does not build on HP/UX 10.20 or HP/UX 11.00 if the CMA
+ thread package is installed. The compile error is:
+
+ ../../gdb/hpux-thread.c:222: variable-size type declared outside of any function
+
+ This happens only if the CMA thread package is installed.
+
+ As a workaround, you can disable support for CMA threads
+ by editing the file gdb/configure. Find the line:
+
+ if test -f /usr/include/dce/cma_config.h ; then
+
+ And replace it with:
+
+ if false ; then
