Comment 7:

Maybe Brad's new tool can help.

Comment 8:

I'd say we could use it once:
- gccgo __asm__("") syntax is removed by Ian
- architecture-specific files it has for solaris/rtems/irix are properly tagged by
+build tags

Comment 9:

__asm__ syntax is now replaced.

Comment 10:

syscall.Mount needs a minor fix:
error: argument 4 has incompatible type (cannot use type uintptr as type int)

Comment 11:

Ian send me the generated 32- and 64-bit sysinfo.go and libcalls.go from the gccgo
build, I put them into place renamed, added +build irix to socket_irix.go, and hacked up
cmd/api a bit.
Resulting diff for linux-amd64 attached.

If others want to run this,
Hacked up cmd/api is http://golang.org/cl/5776044
Generated files from Ian (and renamed) that you have to add to gccgo/libgo/go/syscall
are attached.
Then I run:
$ pwd
/home/bradfitz/hack/gccgo/libgo/go/syscall
$ go tool api --dirs . | grep "^pkg syscall" > gccgo.txt

Heh,
-pkg syscall, type RtMsg struct, Protocol uint8
+pkg syscall, type RtMsg struct, Procotol uint8

Comment 14:

I tried to compile most of the 6g tree with gccgo. It picked up the following, some of
which are in the diff:
exp/inotify turns up quite a few missing syscall bits.
src/pkg/os/stat_linux.go:22:29: error: reference to undefined field or method ‘Mtim’
src/pkg/os/stat_linux.go:60:50: error: reference to undefined field or method ‘Atim’
and something quite strange:
reflect/type.go:947:66: error: incompatible types in binary expression
reflect/type.go:1009:69: error: incompatible types in binary expression
Also, gccgo can't compile the builtin package. Maybe that's intentional.

Comment 15:

6g can't compile the builtin package either.

Comment 16:

This was not fully fixed for the gcc 4.7.0 release.  The full fix will have to be in
4.7.1.

I see there's been some activity:

It would be nice to get syscall.Mount fixed.

Comment 18:

On mainline I've gotten the changes down to the attached.  At this point I'm inclined to
close this bug report, unless anybody sees any specific items that need to be addressed.

No comments, so closing as fixed.  If you find any specific problem please open a new
issue for that problem.  Thanks.

Status changed to Fixed.
