[Openmcl-devel] 3 questions - TLS the default? global thread-shared vars? .CDB gen broken?

[Jason E. Aten]

Thank you Raffael.  I appreciate the pointer. I guess that confirms #1, and
answers #2. :-)

For #3, I've managed to locate the source code for the ffigen loader, and
figured out that :SUBDIR is supposed to be :libc or :elf  or similar.

However I do manage to have populate.sh run into an issue:

+++ /usr/include/link.h
Need to create info for type:
 <vector_type 0x7fab52eacb60
    type <real_type 0x7fab53619000 float SF
        size <integer_cst 0x7fab535fba80 constant invariant 32>
        unit size <integer_cst 0x7fab535fb5a0 constant invariant 4>
        align 32 symtab 18 alias set -1 precision 32
        pointer_to_this <pointer_type 0x7fab53619270>>

In file included from /usr/include/link.h:36:
/usr/include/bits/link.h:68: internal compiler error: in
ffi_create_type_info, at ffi.c:428
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

where the relevant section from /usr/include/bits/link.h, including line 68
is this:

/* Registers for entry into PLT on x86-64.  */
# if __GNUC_PREREQ (4,0)
typedef float La_x86_64_xmm __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (16)));
typedef float La_x86_64_ymm __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (32)));  /* line
68 */
# else
typedef float La_x86_64_xmm __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__V4SF__)));
# endif

Arg. What should I try?  Is this the right place to report this?

Thank you.

Jason
