Description Anton S. Ustyuzhanin 2009-07-01 17:55:38 UTC
emerge of dev-libs/ace-5.6.5-r2 hangs forever on configure state:
...
checking if a UNIX International thread library was found... no
checking for pthread_join null status pointer support... yes
checking for mutex timeouts...

i have found this happend with glibc-2.10.1
i tried to build ace-5.6.5-r2 on other hosts, with glibc-2.6.1 and glibc-2.9 - there was no problem.

building dev-libs/ace with glibc-2.10.1 can be continued when hanging by killing ./conftest process.
strace of ./conftest process:
...
futex(0x804a038, 0x180 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2, {1246470807, 0}) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
... (this string repeats infinitely)

ps.
i did not try to emerge early versions of ace.

Please post your "emerge --info" and attach the config.log file of the hanging emerge to this bug.

I encounter the same problem(glibc2.10.1).
but it's ok at another machine with glibc 2.9_p20081201-r2
Last I have to add --disable-pthreads to compile ACE5.6 or ACE5.7

find the conftest.cc(see flollows) in configure which will hang up when run configure.

Maybe a glibc bug? see below:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10578
And bug #279610 is duplicated I think.

build log for dev-libs/ace-5.7.2

Please reopen bug.
Comment 7 Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2009-10-18 11:26:13 UTC
This bug appears to be same as bug 279610. 
I narrowed down the problem to the function 

pthread_mutex_timedlock (&mutex, &sometime);

which, in principle, should time out and return 
with an ETIMEDOUT code when it cannot 
apply a lock on "mutex" before "sometime" is reached. 
For some reason, it never times out (nor does it return). 

Comment 8 Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2009-10-18 11:46:04 UTC
When I run strace on the small test used by configure, here 
is what I get: 
   
... 
futex(0xb770b79c, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 8392704, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_STACK, -1, 0) = 0xb6c8a000
brk(0)                                  = 0x804b000
brk(0x806c000)                          = 0x806c000
mprotect(0xb6c8a000, 4096, PROT_NONE)   = 0

                                     ^^^^  
                                    Note this !

From the documentation for futex: 


int futex(int *uaddr, int op, int val, const struct timespec *timeout,
                 int *uaddr2, int val3);
....
FUTEX_WAIT
This operation atomically verifies that the futex address uaddr still contains the value val, and  sleeps  awaiting FUTEX_WAKE on this futex address.  If the timeout argument is non-NULL,its contents describe the maximum duration of the wait, which  is  infinite  otherwise.   The arguments uaddr2 and val3 are ignored.
....

It seems that pthread_mutex_timedlock() calls futex() but fails to correctly
pass down the timeout argument.

It builds well with sys-libs/glibc-2.11 :-)
