guile-3.0.0-stack-grows-up.patch
.ebuild for 3.0.4 - patch in FILES renamed accordingly |
||
(cont.) - The prebuilt issue from bug #676468 was not fixed in this release. This would also require a sub-SLOT (or better yet, a normal SLOT, see bug #689408). There 3.0.1 bugfix release also https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-301-released.html > Among the bug fixes is a significant performance improvement for applications making heavy use of bignums, such as the compiler. Also included are fixes for an embarrassing bug in the `include` directive, for the `hash` procedure when applied to keywords and some other objects, portability fixes, and better R7RS support. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2020-03/msg00012.html This patch is not required with the 3.0.2 I believe, so the keyword might be removed. Can we please just update to the current 3 release before being concerned with the finer details and subtle issues that might arise? Created attachment 663853 [details]

The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=48d334d335e508843e01686e55cdf5ca3beec366 commit 48d334d335e508843e01686e55cdf5ca3beec366 Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2020-10-05 20:05:20 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2020-10-05 20:07:02 +0000 dev-scheme/guile: bump to 3.0.4 (masked) Masking this for testing in case of compatibility problems. Guile is not slotted right now, so committing unmasked initially could mean various packages breaking.

gentoo's zlib it's the only option to make it work at all):
$ guile -c '(dynamic-link "/lib64/libz.so.1")'
<ok>
guile-2 has no equivalent interface:
$ guile -c '(dynamic-link "/lib64/libz.so.1")'

Lack of direct library loading makes it hard to package guile-zlib (a dependency of guix).
Any updates on this? What needs to be done? (In reply to contact from comment #9) > Any updates on this? What needs to be done? - guile eclass to pick proper guile version for build and runtime - proper SLOTting a'la python_compat - testing if any builds break So, quite a lot, because of stale packages depending on guile 2.0, see: https://bugs.gentoo.org/746914 |
Created attachment 603442 [details, diff] guile-3.0.0-stack-grows-up.patch Guile 3.0.0 has been released with a long list of changes and probably some backward compatibility problems. - It left a stack direction problem in continuations.c on architectures where the stack grows up, for which a patch is attached. - It adds JIT support for some architectures but not others, which should be enabled through IUSE=jit (it can be left to automatic detection, too).
