TDM's GCC 4.2.1 (now with iconv, Obj-C++ and Treelang)
« on: July 24, 2007, 05:23:24 am »
GCC 4.2.1 TDM-2 is now available! Objective-C++ and Treelang packages have been added, and GCC now uses libiconv for support for non-UTF-8 charsets (see -finput-charset, etc.). As always, you should be able to install in almost any directory, and use it from almost any directory (unless you're running Vista).

See http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ for details.


====== Older =======

GCC 4.2.1 is out, I'm back from a trip to the mountains (and looking at another next week :D), and it's time for another TDM GCC binary release! Drop-in replacements are available for the official MinGW gcc-core, gcc-g++, gcc-objc, and gcc-g77 packages. As always, core/g++ are tested working for wxWidgets and C::B. See http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ for download links, installation information, and any further details you might need.

Kool man, I'll check it out asap! I just fear that 4.2.1 might be a show stopper  :? Because they removed a lot of deprecated code ... we'll see. Thanks a lot TD

This and previous version breaks when a directory of the same name as a standard include is on the include path:
Code
In file included from rts\System\Demo.cpp:12:
rts/Game/GameSetup.h:5:15: error: rts/map: Permission denied
line 5 is #include <map> and rts/Map is a directory. Workaround is to add -I/standard/include/dir as a first command line option, so it's not critical, but quite annoying.

Hi,

I have a problem with gcc 4.2.1. Whenever I try to compile one of my source files I get:

error: no iconv implementation, cannot convert from latin5 to UTF-8

Command line is as follows:

mingw32-g++.exe -DWINVER=0x0500 -g -O0 -fno-inline -DDEBUG1 -Wall -fexceptions -mthreads -finput-charset=latin5  -IC:\MinGW\include -c K.cpp -o K.o

I guess this is related to "-finput-charset=latin5". I have to use this parameter since my sources have some Turkish characters. Can I correct this problem by copying "libiconv*.dll" from my Gnu Win32 utilities to somewhere in Mingw tree?

Regards
Ramazan Kartal

Confirmed. I'll see about creating a GCC bug report.

No, I'm pretty sure GCC has to be linked to libiconv when built. Look for another release in the near future that is!

i installed the gcc 4.2.1,it worked well,but i found that the dbg can not work.just as follow:

int main()
{
  int i=8,j=9;
  int k=i+j;
  cout<<"k="<<k<<endl;
  return 0;
}
when i debug ,the watch window should show the values of i,j and k,but valued showed in the window are obviously wrong .but when i replaced Gcc by 3.4.5,it can correctly show the values.i can not understand why?

The format of the debugging information produced by GCC has probably changed since 3.4.5. Have you tried upgrading to MinGW's GDB 6.6?

Hi,

error: no iconv implementation, cannot convert from latin5 to UTF-8
Best solution is to compile one by yourself in msys/mingw. UTF-8 conversion depends on many things (mingw-runtime and winapi), so - it's more a problem of platform's subsystem (MinGW is "under" Windows, he isn't standalone, right?). BTW, compiler itself can be linked without any problems with static libiconv.a and I suggest you to avoid dll-hell doing the same. Libiconv has nasty circular dependency with libintl from gettext /chicken or egg situation/ and because of that (and many other things) iconv has never ever been properly compiled for MinGW.

Actually I don't use libiconv.dll in my programs, it is only required by gcc itself if I specify "-finput-charset=latin5" as a parameter, which I should. However, I use libpng.dll and zlib1.dll. You're right,  it can cause "dll hells", for that I am planning to use "LoadLibrary".

-------------- my man. If you download my gettext-iconv-expat rar archive, you can try it... it's gcc version independent and newest one. If it doesn't work, take plan B.



I don't use any function from gettext, iconv or expat, why should I try it? Also do you really know what "g--- k--------" means?

Huh... looks like self denial. It means "to get free of something troublesome (e.g., a job) with very little damage" (Turkish phrase I've used and picked up earlier god knows where).
The phrase you used is an off-colour idiom which may be quite offensive to people. Please don't use non-english phrases on this board (even more so if you are not sure about their implication).

I've posted about it on the Allegro forums. The response I got indicates it may be bugs in the compiler. I'm just curious if anyone else would mind trying, and see what kind of headway you can get in case it is something wrong with my config. All the details are in this post:

Very good work TDM. I have compiled lots of libraries and programs here and everything looks fine. The only problem that I found was in some .la in the lib directory that was pointing to yours cross-compile directory.

i use Build.txt description to install and run scripts under mSYS/mingw.
This probably won't work without major modification; I build under Ubuntu Linux (7.04), and the scripts aren't designed with mSYS in mind.
At any rate, I'm not entirely certain about the multiple main definitions error, but the undefined reference to yyparse probably means you don't have Bison installed.

The only problem that I found was in some .la in the lib directory that was pointing to yours cross-compile directory.
Oops. Is this causing problems during normal usage?

can anyone compile allegro 4.2.2 with this?
This is definitely a bug in GCC. I'll see about a bug report on this one, too.

I just decided to try out gcc 4 (your gcc 4.2.1 build) and did a little benchmark.
Here are the results:

Time to build wxMSW 2.8.4 (configuration for cb):
  • gcc 3.4.5: 20 min 22 seconds
  • gcc 4.2.1: 21 min 55 seconds
Note: I didn't redirect console output.

Time to build codeblocks svn 4346 (without contrib plugins):
  • gcc 3.4.5: 9 min 24 seconds
  • gcc 4.2.1: 11 min 33 seconds


Sizes:
wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll
  • gcc 3.4.5: 9,86 MB (10.342.139 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 10,3 MB (10.897.346 bytes)

output\codeblocks.exe
  • gcc 3.4.5: 1,05 MB (1.105.408 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 1,32 MB (1.387.520 bytes)

output\codeblocks.dll
  • gcc 3.4.5: 3,68 MB (3.859.456 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 3,94 MB (4.137.984 bytes)

devel\codeblocks.exe
  • gcc 3.4.5: 7,69 MB (8.073.979 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 10,9 MB (11.480.689 bytes)

  • gcc 3.4.5: 22,9 MB (24.091.398 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 28,0 MB (29.406.839 bytes)

  • gcc 3.4.5: 96,6 MB (101.298.572 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 136 MB (143.010.198 bytes)

output\
  • gcc 3.4.5: 14,7 MB (15.469.645 bytes)
  • gcc 4.2.1: 18,3 MB (19.213.389 bytes)

My system:
WinXP Sp2
AMD XP 2600+
1,5 gb ram

Since optimization doesn't greatly matter for me, I think I'll stick to 3.4.5
What do you think?

I achieved similar results in this post (using GCC 4.1.2). If you need optimization, better error detection, or a 3.4.x bug fixed, upgrade; otherwise, stay where you are.

Thanks TDragon. Can you link to the bug report when its up?

raph: extreamly informative, thanks. Filesize doesn't really matter to me, but things not compiling certainly does. :P I guess for a lot of things I must stick with 3.4.5 for the time being. Still, looking at the /deve/ dir, over a 40MB difference  :shock: geeze...

I must be missing something.  This is on a clean machine - I followed your instructions and downloaded the other packages (w32api, etc) on your website.

I installed MinGW 4.2.1 to C:MinGW-4.2.1

I get several errors about missing files when compiling a basic console app:

dwmcqueen:
It'll probably be fixed with another update to the mingw-runtime package whenever the official MinGW GCC 4.2.x is released.

Ramazan Kartal:
I'm testing GCC 4.2.1 TDM-2 right now, which is iconv-enabled. Hopefully I'll be able to upload it later today or tomorrow.

I couldn't say without taking a look at the libcurl sources. You'd need to find where ssize_t was being defined earlier and see if there is a macro that will prevent it, or create another macro that disables that definition in that specific case -- or, just comment it out (if you can be sure that nothing else needs it...).

GCC 4.2.1 TDM-2 is now available! Objective-C++ and Treelang packages have been added, and GCC now uses libiconv for support for non-UTF-8 charsets (see -finput-charset, etc.). As always, you should be able to install in almost any directory, and use it from almost any directory (unless you're running Vista).

See http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ for details.

ssize_t is defined a few lines earlier in types.h

Nope, that's _ssize_t (note the leading underscore).

Here it is defined in a config-win32.h header file (within curl):

#if (defined(__WATCOMC__) && (__WATCOMC__ >= 1240)) || defined(__POCC__)
#elif defined(_WIN64)
#define ssize_t __int64
#else
#define ssize_t int
#endif

I think this define causes the problem - it is included earlier, and sets it to be an int.  Then, in the types.h, it defines it again.

Hi,

Quote
GCC 4.2.1 TDM-2 is now available! Objective-C++ and Treelang packages have been added, and GCC now uses libiconv for support for non-UTF-8 charsets (see -finput-charset, etc.).

Thanks TDM, now I can compile using "-finput-charset=latin5".

Regards,
Ramazan Kartal

MinGW has now released 4.2.1 (partially)

-----------------------
Quote
A GCC 4.2.1 binary release for mingw is available.

You can download it from:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
under gcc-4

The binaries are archived by language.

There are two versions, differing in the model used for exception unwind
info.
 (1) Setjump-longjump (sjlj). Historically,and currently, the
    default model.
 (2) Dwarf2 table-based unwinding (dw2). The more efficient model.


*This version is built with Dwarf 2 unwind info enabled. The gcc, g++
and
gfortran drivers in the bin directory have a '-dw2' suffix to indicate
that, You can remove '-dw2; from these files if you like.

If you want sjlj you will find them (soon) in the gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-1
package

The binaries were compiled with --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs.
The runtime libs are in <mingw-root>/lib/gcc/mingw32/gcc-4.2.1-dw2. Do
not move these files. If you really must, don't bother reporting
installation bugs.

Please consider this package as experimental.

To get core C compiler, download:

 gcc-core-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz

To add on other languages, download one or more
of these (in addition to core):

 gcc-ada-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-g++-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-gfortran-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-objc-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz


Extract the files, maintaining the directory structure, into your root
directory for mingw.

Be aware that some archive extracters do not preserve read-only
attributes of files. If you are installing the Ada component, please
check that the files in the /lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-dw2/adainclude and
adalib
directories are flagged as read-only. This attribute is necessary to
prevent them from being deleted when using gnatclean to clean a project.


* libstdc++ and libgfortran require version 3.13 of mingw-runtime and
 w32api version 2.2 or higher.

* This package does _not_ contain binutils, the mingw-runtime
 or the w32api. You will need to get these if you do not already
 have mingw installed.

* libstdc++ and libgfortran require version 3.13 of mingw-runtime and
 w32api version 2.2 or higher.  Yes, I've said it twice now.

* Static and dll libraries of libgcc and libstdc++ are in the release.
 By default, linkage is to static libraries.  More details later.

* OpenMP is enabled.  To use it you will need to have  win32-pthreads
 package installed. More details later.

This release contains:

1) Source distribution, with mingw-local patches incorporated:
 gcc-4.2.1-1-src.tar.gz
 (This is the whole shebang. Maybe some day I'll have time to break
  up into language components.)

2) Binaries
 gcc-core-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-ada-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-g++-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-gfortran-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz
 gcc-objc-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz

3) gcc-4.2.1-build-dw2.sh, which is the script I used to configure
  and build.


4) This file.
