Understood. The PR looks acceptable and the right fix. My advice is to avoid the copy coroutine implementation if at all possible, so we should try to detect as many native implementation paths as possible. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16455: coroutine ucontext uses deprecated POSIX getcontext/swapcontext/makecontext, absent in musl and uclibc https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16455#change-87664 * Author: luizluca (Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Target version: 2.8 * ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hello, While building ruby 2.7.0 for mips with musl, it fails: ``` linking miniruby /home/luizluca/prog-local/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_24kc_gcc-8.3.0_musl/lib/gcc/mips-openwrt-linux-musl/8.3.0/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-musl/bin/ld: cont.o: in function `coroutine_initialize_main': cont.c:(.text+0x36c): undefined reference to `getcontext' /home/luizluca/prog-local/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_24kc_gcc-8.3.0_musl/lib/gcc/mips-openwrt-linux-musl/8.3.0/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-musl/bin/ld: cont.o: in function `fiber_setcontext': cont.c:(.text+0xde6): undefined reference to `swapcontext' /home/luizluca/prog-local/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_24kc_gcc-8.3.0_musl/lib/gcc/mips-openwrt -linux-musl/8.3.0/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-musl/bin/ld: cont.o: in function `fiber_switch': cont.c:(.text+0x16b8): undefined reference to `makecontext' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [Makefile:271: miniruby] Error 1 ``` It seems that now ruby either uses native ASM code or ucontext for coroutine. Both are unavailable in my crossbuild. It was building and running with 2.6.x: ``` configure:25935: checking native coroutine implementation for mips-linux-gnu configure:25976: result: no ``` With 2.7.0: ``` configure:26536: checking native coroutine implementation for mips-linux-gnu configure:26601: result: ucontext ``` I tried to disable it with --without-coroutine, --with-out-coroutine and --with-coroutine=no, but it is innocuous or try to use a "no" implementation. It looks like this introduced the change https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/7291fef55c90b9ab6b3c22018b16972861b98c9d And musl might never fix it: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/open-issues.html -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
