[Openmcl-devel] ffigen4 failing on Mac OS 10.10 (with either SDK)

[Christopher Wicklein]

Greetings,

My high-level goal is to manage OmniFocus via Scripting Bridge.  Starting from the outline at https://lists.clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2008-October/004375.html and http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/wiki/BuildFFIGEN, I’ve done as follows:

(1) Install CCL from the App Store (1.10-store-r16266)

(2) Build what I understand to be the latest ffigen (branches/ffigen-apple-gcc-5646/ffigen4.)  As an aside, to build ffigen, I incorporated two patches into my personal build process.  I’m working around what I remember as multiple definitions of the “inline” functions when building ffigen4 with the standard clang-600.0.54.  I’ve omitted the Makefile patch which is used to add my patch to the list of existing patches.  Here’s the patch to toplev.h:

(3) Build OmniFocus.h:

sdef /Applications/OmniFocus.app | sdp -fh --basename OmniFocus
mv OmniFocus.h /tmp/

(4) Create /Applications/Clozure CL.app/Contents/Resources/ccl/darwin-x86-headers64/omnifocus/C and put populate.sh there.

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf System Developer usr
SDK="$SDK"
CFLAGS="-m64 -fobjc-abi-version=2 -fblocks -isysroot $SDK -mmacosx-version-min=10.9"; export CFLAGS
/opt/ffigen/bin/h-to-ffi.sh /tmp/OmniFocus.h

Depending on whether I set SDK to "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk” or SDK="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk”, I get two different failure cases.  The 10.9 case involves ffigen segfaulting.  The 10.10 case involves a recent change adding the type “instancetype" to Objective-C where I think the previous type was simply “id” confusing the compiler.

10.9:

Thoughts?

Chris
