Description Tim Cuthbertson 2013-07-11 23:28:18 UTC
Description of problem:

I get errors trying to build the command-t vim plugin (which includes a compiled ruby extension). The errors come from including <ruby.h>, the plugin's code doesn't seem to be the cause.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ruby-devel-2.0.0.195-8.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create:

-- ext.c:

    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <ruby.h>

-- extconf.rb:

    require 'mkmf'
    have_header('ruby.h')
    create_makefile('ext')

-- depend

    CFLAGS += -std=c99


2. Run:

$ ruby extconf.rb
checking for ruby.h... yes
creating Makefile

$ make

Actual results:

gcc -I. -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux -I/usr/include/ruby/backward -I/usr/include -I. -DHAVE_RUBY_H    -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -mtune=generic -fPIC -m64 -std=c99 -o ext.o -c ext.c

make: *** [ext.o] Error 1



Additional info:

I can't figure out what exactly causing it. Either of the following workarounds make the problem go away:

 - require <ruby.h> before <stdlib.h> (in ext.c)
 - remove the -std=c99 flag from `depend`

and with glibc-2.17, time.h includes bits/time.h, which includes sys/select.h, which defines fd_set.
According to 
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/sys/select.h.html ,
perhaps directly including sys/select.h seems preferable than time.h, however anyway with ruby 2.0.0p249 this is not reproducible.

(In reply to Mamoru TASAKA from comment #1)
> and with glibc-2.17, time.h includes bits/time.h

Before this, sys/time.h includes time.h.

There is related command-t bug report:

https://wincent.com/issues/2098

And this seems to the fix in Ruby:
