Proposed patch to guard x86-specific asm in fflas-ffpack none

Description Peter Robinson 2016-09-05 23:34:39 UTC
recent linbox releases have been failing to build [1] but actually when investigating the failure looked to be something around fflas-ffpack:

                 from test-rank.h:56,
                 from test-rank-Int.C:33:
/usr/include/fflas-ffpack/utils/bit_manipulation.h: In function 'uint64_t divide_128(uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t*)':
/usr/include/fflas-ffpack/utils/bit_manipulation.h:114:10: error: impossible constraint in 'asm'
         );
          ^
Makefile:2120: recipe for target 'test-rank-Int.o' failed

So checking the version that was last successful shows it was fflas-ffpack 2.2.1 that last worked. Doing a scratch build of the latest linbox against fflas-ffpack 2.2.1 shows it builds [2] against the older version.

Yes, it looks like upstream inserted some x86-specific assembly into one of the header files.  I'll scout around and see if they did that anywhere else before reporting this upstream and fixing.

Proposed patch to guard x86-specific asm in fflas-ffpack

Is anybody able to build fflas-ffpack with this patch, and then build linbox on top of that?  I know how to do an aarch64 scratch build of fflas-ffpack, but don't know how to do 2 dependent builds like this.  Thanks.

aarch64 builds are now enabled in rawhide/f25 in koji.fedoraproject.org so it's probably easiest to push a build there, newRepo, bump linbox and rebuild.
