What did you do?

Any code which requires C-binding, e.g. in my case I was trying to build against opencv and libtorch libraries.

What did you expect to see?

The go build command provides no output of how underlying C/C++ build is performed. When I provide -v verbose flag I expect to see a full output of underlying gcc/g++/clang++ commands which were called from the go build. Otherwise it is extremely hard to understand details of the build.

What did you see instead?

Here is a simple example:

# I'm building an example code from github.com/wangkuiyi/gotorch
cd gotorch/example/mnist
go build

# gocv.io/x/gocv
In file included from dnn.cpp:1:
/Users/vk/Work/Languages/Go/gopath/pkg/mod/gocv.io/x/gocv@v0.24.0/dnn.h:8:10: fatal error: 'opencv2/dnn.hpp' file not found

This output tells me that I'm missing opencv2 includes. Ok, I can supply the include dirs, e.g.

CGO_CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" go build -v
# gocv.io/x/gocv
features2d.cpp:219:146: error: no type named 'DetectorType' in 'cv::FastFeatureDetector'
features2d.cpp:429:54: error: no matching conversion for static_cast from 'int' to 'cv::DrawMatchesFlags'
/opt/local/include/opencv2/features2d.hpp:1273:19: note: candidate constructor (the implicit copy constructor) not viable: no known conversion from 'int' to 'const cv::DrawMatchesFlags' for 1st argument
/opt/local/include/opencv2/features2d.hpp:1273:19: note: candidate constructor (the implicit move constructor) not viable: no known conversion from 'int' to 'cv::DrawMatchesFlags' for 1st argument
/opt/local/include/opencv2/features2d.hpp:1273:19: note: candidate constructor (the implicit default constructor) not viable: requires 0 arguments, but 1 was provided

From this output I have no clue how build was done, which compiler commands were issued, etc. Here I expect to see something like (which I was able to grab of ps output during my build):

/opt/local/libexec/llvm-9.0/bin/clang++ -I /Users/vk/Work/Languages/Go/gopath/pkg/mod/gocv.io/x/gocv@v0.24.0 -fPIC -arch x86_64 -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/var/folders/vp/p89gqpvd4f93zzqpz4g5jnvm0000gp/T/go-build3227765425/b068=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches -fno-common -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/opencv4 -I /var/folders/vp/p89gqpvd4f93zzqpz4g5jnvm0000gp/T/go-build3227765425/b068/ -g -O2 --std=c++11 -o /var/folders/vp/p89gqpvd4f93zzqpz4g5jnvm0000gp/T/go-build3227765425/b068/_x019.o -c core.cpp

Please provide full verbose output of underlying c/c++ compiler commands issued by go build. This will allows developers save time to debug the issues with C binding libraries and know exactly how to reproduce the build issues. For instance, I can get the compiler commands from ps output command, but it requires lots of jumping between windows, but still does not guarantee that I can catch exact commands which fails. We need to see full c/c++/clang output including errors, warnings, etc., as we usually do when compiling C/C++ code. I suggest to capture go build stdout/stderr output and allow developers to see these outputs during go build command.

Does the -x option work for you?

Timed out in state WaitingForInfo. Closing.

(I am just a bot, though. Please speak up if this is a mistake or you have the requested information.)
