/usr/local/bin/awk from gawk.tcz reports

Hi polikuo
Does this show anything missing:

Code: [Select]

ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8

[polikuo]

Not really

Here are some tests

                 U UP

Hmm - normally readline should depend on ncursesw - I'll take a look tomorrow.

Hi polikuo

...

Code: [Select]

tc@box: ~ $ ldd /usr/lib/libc.so
/usr/lib/libc.so: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libc.so: invalid ELF header ...

The  libc.so  library tends to be very stable and rarely changes since everything (including the kernel) depends on it. So
seeing another  libc.so  in  /usr/lib/  struck me as odd. Turns out it is provided by  glibc_base-dev.tcz  and is not a shared
library at all. It appears to contain directives for the linker. Run this and see for yourself:

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/lib/libc.so

...

Code: [Select]

tc@box: ~ $ nm /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8 | grep UP
                 U UP

The  U  means that symbol  UP  is undefined and is expected to be found in an external executable (dependency).
I see  UP  defined in  libncursesw.so.

I've checked readline in both tc-12.x x86 and x86_64 and both give this:

Code: [Select]

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe78aa000)
        libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00007f3eabd3e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3eabbb1000)
        /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3eabde5000)

Code: [Select]

$ nm /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8 | grep UP
nm: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8: no symbols


Code: [Select]

$ printf '\tTAB' | /use/local/bin/awk '/\t/'
sh: /use/local/bin/awk: not found
Are you working with a locally compiled version of readline?

[polikuo]

Are you working with a locally compiled version of readline?

Oops 

Sorry for the noise, I totally forgot about that I haven't reboot yet.

I was trying to build gcc and all the deps natively to see the difference in performance.

Code: [Select]

CXXFLAGS='-march=native -mtune=native -Ofast -pipe -fuse-linker-plugin -flto -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti'
tce-load -fi tool-ncursesw
../configure --with-curses
I guess simply overwriting the current ncursesw with "-fi" is not the way to go.

[Juanito]

You might want to explicitly state your cpu (-march=haswell in my case) - I'm not convinced that all source code will use it otherwise.

You can check by running ./configure in the gmp source code, or:

Code: [Select]

$ gcc -mcpu=native -march=native -Q --help=target

Hi Juanito

...

Code: [Select]

$ nm /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8 | grep UP
nm: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.8: no symbols ...

Thank you for posting that. I was getting that result with every library I tried under TC10 x86 even though midnight commander
showed that symbols were present. I don't know why  nm  couldn't list symbols, but  readelf  could:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$ readelf -s /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.7 | grep UP
   274: 00000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND UP
tc@E310:~$ readelf -s /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.6 | grep UP
   329: 00043d04     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   22 UP
tc@E310:~$

nm lists static symbols by default, which we usually strip. Use "nm -D" on dynamic libraries.

[Rich]

Hi curaga
That worked. Thank you.
