Bug 204457 – dev-util/strace-4.5.16-r1: file.c:678: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of `sprinttime' on sparc when using -O3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

strace-4.5.16 fails to build on sparc

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge strace

looks like upstream bug - the function sprinttime(time_t) is called with timestruct_t param.

emerge --info please.

Base-system: ?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2008-01-06 18:08:07 UTC]

i dont have any way of actually run time testing this, but the fix is probably:
-        tprintf("st_atime=%s, ", sprinttime(statbuf.st_atime));
-        tprintf("st_mtime=%s, ", sprinttime(statbuf.st_mtime));
-        tprintf("st_ctime=%s}", sprinttime(statbuf.st_ctime));
+        tprintf("st_atime=%s, ", sprinttime(statbuf.st_atime.tv_sec));
+        tprintf("st_mtime=%s, ", sprinttime(statbuf.st_mtime.tv_sec));
+        tprintf("st_ctime=%s}", sprinttime(statbuf.st_ctime.tv_sec));

sprinttime() takes a time_t which represents the time (in seconds).  the time members of the solstatbuf are the time (in seconds) as well as nanosecond granularity.  since sprinttime() doesnt include nanosecond granularity, we dont care about that part of the time.

someone needs to find a sparc system running with the personality required and exercise this difference

Applying vapier's patch here I can build dev-util/strace-4.5.16-r1 with -O3.

Reassigning to base-system as this is a gcc (-O3) issue and there's a patch that seems to work.
base-system: it's your call.

[Comment 10 SpanKY 2008-02-11 21:52:13 UTC]

it was assigned to sparc because it's up to the sparc team to validate things work

[Comment 11 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2008-02-12 14:32:54 UTC]

vapier,

I've tried the patch locally and it worked. What else do you need from us?

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2008-02-22 03:43:30 UTC]

you were supposed to actually commit it :P
