D.gnu - std.c.linux not in libgphobos?

Hi!

I'm implementing condition variables (as discussed on .D) for GDC but am having
a problems with phobos.

For this I've ported (Linux Threads) pthreads.h to std.c.linux.pthreads, but
when I try to add struct timespec to linux.d, I get

./../../gcc-3.3.6/libphobos/std/c/linux/pthreads.d:276: identifier 'timespec'
is not defined

This seems odd to me, since struct timeval four lines up works in other modules.

Second, when compiling a test for the condvars, I end up with

(.data+0x30): undefined reference to `_ModuleInfo_3std1c5linux5linux'

in ld. Some research tells me the std/c/linux stuff isn't even linked into
libgphobos.a. What's the rationale for this?

Most of DMD's std.c.linux.linux stuff is handled in GDC std.c.unix.unix.
("linux" isn't portable) http://dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=681

I was under the impression GDC still featured the old stuff, though ?
(but since I've running it on Mac for a while, I wouldn't know now)


Digital Mars hasn't even added the *versions* to DMD, as far as I know.
So getting the 2 compilers to use the same structure here is far away...

Indeed, std.c.unix is the preferred way to do things for GDC. I intended 
to support std.c.linux for compatibility, but never made the necessary 
changes.

Thanks, both of you. I changed it to std.c.unix since it had the timespec... Now
it works fine. The question now is where I should put the pthreads module. It is
a common *nix interface, so it might be a good idea to put it in unix, right?

I could probably make a nice generator for that one to, but is it worth it?
I definately need more than the pthread types generated in unix.

If you need more pthread types and functions declared in std.unix.unix, 
I can add them (might as well make it standard).  The GDC Phobos 
configuration script already generates types (see 
d/phobos/config/gen_unix.c in the distribution.)  So far, I have been 
able to write the function declaration manually (d/phobos/config/unix-mid.)

Seems about PAR for the course...

One standard way (gdc, unix), and one compat way (gdmd, linux) ?


Speaking of that, the home page still says "dmd": (and not gdmd)

"The compiler driver is named 'gdc' and accepts the standard GCC 
options.  There is also a script named 'dmd' which has the same 
interface as the Digital Mars dmd."

Probably unavoidable with bridging two different compiler systems. 
Hopefully, we can smooth out some of the rough edges. On the GCC mailing 
list, they're discussing merging LLVM and GCC.  Can't imagine what that 
would be like...

Some things are probably inherited from GCC and DMC, respectively...
(and seem to ultimately reflect different environments, Win vs. Unix)

But other things, like "version(Unix)" and "std.c.unix.unix" should
be easier to add to the D specs - along with std.stdarg.va_list, etc ?


Then again, I can't claim to understand all of the priorities in D,
like adding std.recls and std.openrj before std.sdl and std.opengl.

And as Walter only knows about DMD, I'll just help out where I can:
i.e. with GDC (under the GPL) and on the Wiki4D (under the FDL)...


I know that others are making similar efforts, like http://dsource.org
Coordinating all these D efforts into one "body" would be a GOOD thing ?

Getting rid of some ancient old stuff, like http:/opend.org, would too -
including the even older http://sourceforge.net/projects/brightd project

But I'm not holding my breath.
