In a glibc environment, x86_64-musl-gcc-6.3.0 builds without error
with the three patches I have previously reported. To check there is no
leak of the glibc native toolchain into the cross-compiler, I tried the
build in a musl chroot (without any glibc headers or library), still
with '--enable-languages=ada,c,c++'.
In a first attempt, the compilation fails with the following error:
----------------------------------------
In file included from ../../src_toolchain/gcc/ada/adaint.h:290:0,
from ../../src_toolchain/gcc/ada/adadecode.c:45:
/usr/pkg/gcc-6.3/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/6.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-musl/include/sched.h:76:7:
error: attempt to use poisoned "calloc"
void *calloc(size_t, size_t);
^
/usr/pkg/gcc-6.3/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/6.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-musl/include/sched.h:116:36:
error: attempt to use poisoned "calloc"
#define CPU_ALLOC(n) ((cpu_set_t *)calloc(1,CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(n)))
----------------------------------------
The Ada language has "tasking" primitives, which are nowadays based
on POSIX threads. For this, adaint.h and other files include <sched.h>
which, unfortunately, contains a declaration of calloc() and references
to it. This is unfortunate because calloc() is poisoned by gcc, to
avoid interferences with its own allocation functions, and Gnat does
only need a small part of sched.h.
There must be a necessity, specific to musl, to make use of
calloc() in sched.h, because glibc doesn't do so.
A workaround, provided by the patch gnat63-adaint.diff, is to
replace #include <sched.h> with the few lines of this file actually
needed in adaint.h. The patch contains also #define _SCHED_H, which is
necessary to prevent the inclusion of sched.h by other files, directly
or indirectly.
With this additional patch, x86_64-musl-gcc-6.3.0 builds without
error both in a glibc environement and in a musl environment.
