To: <gnutls-devel@lists.gnutls.org>

Hi Everyone,

I'm working from the GnuTLS 3.6.12 release tarball on OS X 10.9.

The build is failing due to the handling of _Noreturn in config.h and
gl/_Noreturn.h. An example of the error is shown below.

The attached patch fixes the build. In the case of OS X 10.9 with
Clang, the compiler already knows what to do with
__attribute__((__noreturn__)). The machinery should not modify
anything.

If you don't like the use of __has_attribute, then the following
defines may be helpful to untangle things (or make the fur ball
bigger):

$ gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -i -E 'clang|llvm|apple|gnu'

Re the message forwarded below. First I don't see a copy of this message at 
<https://lists.gnu.org/r/gnutls-devel/2015-02/index.html> so I'm taking the 
liberty of copying the entire thing to gnutls-devel@gnu.org.

Second, your patch (attached) doesn't look right. config.h should not #define 
__has_attribute because too much code (perhaps unwisely) defaults 
__has_attribute to something other than just 0, and relies on doing this, and if 
config.h defaults it to 0 then the code won't work. (The advice about defaulting 
__has_attribute to 0 in https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html is 
wrong for GCC.)

Third, the proposed patch uses __has_attribute(__noreturn__) to decide whether 
_Noreturn is supported, which doesn't sound right. I expect that Clang 
historically has had modes in which __attribute__((__noreturn__)) worked and 
_Noreturn didn't, or vice versa.

If you could let us know exactly when Clang supports _Noreturn and when it 
doesn't (C++ vs C, which version of Clang, which other C preprocessor macros 
matter?) we could come up with a better patch.

Oops, that bounced, and now I see that the mailing list moved. However, 
I don't see a copy of the message at 
<https://lists.gnutls.org/pipermail/gnutls-devel/2020-February/thread.html>

Looking at the online Clang manuals, it appears that Clang started 
supporting _Noreturn starting with 3.5.0. So does the attached 
(untested) patch work for you? If not, please advise.

Thanks Paul.

I think there is a small issue. There are two versions of Clang. First
is Apple Clang distributed with Xcode. Second is LLVM Clang. They use
different version numbers.

In your case, you used LLVM Clang version 3.5. If you look at the
release date (https://releases.llvm.org/), it is September 2014.
Around September 2014 Apple released Xcode 6.0
https://xcodereleases.com/). Apple's versioning of Clang follows
Xcode. So you need to use both:

    * LLVM: version 3.5
    * Apple: version 6.0

To tell the difference between LLVM Clang and Apple Clang, use the
preprocessor macro __apple_build_version__. Apple Clang has
__apple_build_version__, LLVM Clang does not.

So the defines would look something like:

#if defined(__apple_build_version__) && (__clang_major__ >= 6)
    /* _Noreturn works as-is.  */
#elif (__clang_major__ == 3 && __clang_minor__ >= 5) || (__clang_major__ >= 4)
    /* _Noreturn works as-is.  */
# elif ...

Or, you can use __has_attribute(_Noreturn). __has_attribute(_Noreturn)
behaves as expected.

I would not worry about other software using __has_attribute. It is a
reserved symbol due to the leading undersocres. Userland software
should not have been using it in the first place. Software that uses
reserved names wanders off the reservation, and now they have to fix
their mistake.

It isn't documented to work, and it doesn't work for me with clang 
version 9.0.0 (Fedora 9.0.0-1.fc31).

Gnulib is userland software, so we cannot use your argument to justify 
putting "#define __has_attribute(x) 0" into Gnulib.

How about the attached (untested) patch instead? It looks at 
__apple_build_version__.

PS. I must say that Apple's hijacking and renumbering of __clang_major__ 
seems pretty antisocial, and breaks some already-existing code in Gnulib 
- what caused Apple to do that?

Ack, tested OK on OS X 10.9 and a Linux smoke test.

I was able to test _Noreturn.h through GnuTLS. I was not able to test
gnulib-common.m4. (I'm still learning how to test Gnulib).

I think CentOS 5 and NetBSD or FreeBSD would be good platforms to test
also. I need some time to adjust my scripts. Recent package upgrades
have broken some compiles.

One warning.... I've never found __apple_build_version__ documented
anywhere. I learned of __apple_build_version__ looking at diff's of
'clang -dM -E'. With that said, I've been using
__apple_build_version__ for 5 or 10 years without a problem. Apple
also uses __apple_build_version__ in places like
https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-4570.61.1/san/kasan_internal.h.auto.html
.

Yeah, I have my feelings on it, too.

Thanks for checking; I installed it into Gnulib and GnuTLS should pick 
it up in due course.

Yeah, you're right.

This is how GCC recommends using __has_attribute:

If interested, I can provide SSH access to a PowerMac running OS X
10.5 with Apple GCC 4.0.1, and a MacBook running OS X 10.9 with Apple
Clang 6.0.

Apple Clang 6.0 is roughly LLVM Clang 3.5:

    $ /usr/bin/clang --version
    Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
    Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0

The are several other compilers on the MacBook with OS X 10.9. They
are supplied by MacPorts:

    $ find /opt/local/bin -name '*gcc-mp*' -o -name '*clang-mp*'
    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.7
    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-5.0
    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-6.0
    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-7.0
    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-8.0
    /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-5
    /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-6
    /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-7

I need your authorized_keys, if interested.
