Bug 701716 – dev-util/bazel-0.24.1 with net-libs/grpc-version? and sys-libs/glibc-2.30 - third_party/grpc/src/core/lib/gpr/log_linux.cc:43:13: error: ambiguating new declaration of 'long int gettid()'

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 693986
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Harris Landgarten 2019-12-02 05:06:52 UTC]

The issue is referenced in: https://github.com/davido/bazel/commit/f10cd50f2e7f58c6acf1fb1b2ee970281e937446

which fixes the issue and was committed 10 days ago.

building of bazel-0.24.1 fails with:third_party/grpc/src/core/lib/gpr/log_linux.cc:43:13: error: ambiguating new declaration of 'long int gettid()'

because of this issue.

This does not allow sci-libs/tensorflow-2.0.0 to be built.

[Comment 1 Harris Landgarten 2019-12-03 04:47:05 UTC]

note: This bug prevents all version of bazel and all versions of tensorflow to fail to build with any version of grpc on my system. Failures started after upgrade to glibc-2.30

It's not error per say. It is cause by the argument -Wunused-but-set-parameter since gettid is unused. You can comment the line out or remove -Wunused-but-set-parameter. after that the package will merge just fine.

[Comment 3 Harris Landgarten 2019-12-07 05:13:50 UTC]

this bug is actually in all versions of bazel and should be renamed to dev-util/bazel will not build with glibc-2.30


the files in third_party/grpc/src have not been patched for glibc-2.30

applying the patch in dev-python/grpcio/files/grpc-1.22.1-glibc-2.30-compat.patch

to work/third_party in the bazel work directory allows bazel to build.

[Comment 4 Harris Landgarten 2019-12-08 03:59:51 UTC]

Created attachment 598870 [details, diff]
patch to fix glibc-2.30 failures with all bazel versions in tree.

this patch or equiv should be added to all bazel version in the tree
