It is somehow annoying that the gcc package in Sage (standard package) is affected by the presence of the isl library (an optional)... Is that desirable? Is there a way to tell gcc configuration script to ignore isl?

[Konrad127123]

comment:4

Adding --without-isl to the configure options for gcc should disable using isl. (I'm not certain how to add this option in Sage's build system.)

On the other hand, according to https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html, adding --without-isl disables some optimizations that anyone who has a system isl would otherwise get.

Letting gcc compile against isl is maybe not morally the nicest solution, but I don't see why it should lead to problems (beyond needing the two-line include-fix attached to this trac issue).

Replying to @Konrad127123:

howto: the install script is ${SAGE_ROOT}/build/pkgs/gcc/spkg-install.

It is indeed not moral since gcc is supposed to be built before isl. This gcc package within Sage is only here for convenience for users with a "broken" build system. On most platforms gcc is never built. I am curious how you ended up with this issue?

I also agree that the fix you provided should be included.

What about:

• adding the fix to isl
• and disabling isl during gcc build (at least by default)

It might sound like two fixes for the same problem but it is to my mind much cleaner.

Thanks. I thought I'd looked there, but must have accidentally looked somewhere else.

I proactively look for issues like this :). I got annoyed at things failing when SAGE_CHECK="yes" or due to missing build dependencies, so after (almost) every beta release, I run a script which, for every standard package foo, sets SAGE_CHECK_PACKAGES so only foo gets tested, then does make distclean && make foo and keeps track of whether this succeeds or fails.

I also agree that the fix you provided should be included.

• adding the fix to isl
• and disabling isl during gcc build (at least by default)

It might sound like two fixes for the same problem but it is to my mind much cleaner.

gcc-7.4 got released yesterday and is the only released version of gcc without this bug, so a cleaner solution for the first part might be to just to update gcc.

For the other part, another solution might be to just make isl a standard package and give it the same special treatment as gmp and friends, so it gets rebuilt after gcc is. That would mean the number of standard packages increases by one. Thoughts on this?

Changed upstream from Fixed upstream, but not in a stable release. to Fixed upstream, in a later stable release.

IMHO if a bugfix has been upstreamed then we may just as well include it if it fixes something thats relevant to us...

See #26954 for a followup that replaces the fix by simply upgrading to a newer version of gcc and disables isl during the gcc build.
