[Vm-dev] How to think about cogit.c compile error that is consistent in both gnu an cmake builds

Hi Eliot.



I was able to get the code to compile by modifiying the function declarations in cogit.c and gcc3x-interp.c


Apologies in advance if my terms are not exact--I am a bit tired and my brain is duller than usual.


Taking the first compile error as representative,

 
/home/wm/usr/src/smalltalk/CMake.oscog/cogVMMaker/Contents/Resources/oscogvm/src/vm/cogit.c:1820:1: error: conflicting types for 'abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister'
 abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister(AbstractInstruction * self_in_abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister, sqInt reg)
 ^
/home/wm/usr/src/smalltalk/CMake.oscog/cogVMMaker/Contents/Resources/oscogvm/src/vm/cogit.c:384:14: note: previous declaration of 'abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister' was here
 static sqInt abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister(AbstractInstruction * self_in_abstractRegisterForConcreteRegister, sqInt reg) NoDbgRegParms;


 the problem was the "NoDbgRegParms" tacked on to the end of the function declaration at line 384 and not being there on the function implementation at 1820--that error happened for all the declarations.


you can see them here:




http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/src/vm/cogit.c
 


I noticed too that my old branch did not have those NoDbgRegParms tacked on while the live Cog trunk does.




So, I edited both cogit.c and gcc3x-cointerp.c and got rid of those NoDbgRegParms and then torched the -DNDEBUG -DDEBUGVM flags and the thing compiled in both cmake and make and ran.

(The cmake version does use the -D flags)




It will be a couple of days before I can devote a study session to your email on the assertion inlining stuff. I just wanted to bring this to your attention  in case some 'assertion inlined code' was submitted to svn if such a thing is possible.


Thanks for your pointers on the -w stuff. I have always lived in fear of gcc output, but I am starting to look at it logically;  I am beginning to see the outlines of a forest for the trees (:




cordially,


tty.
