Description:
Hello

Please don't include kernel headers, their maintainers do not care about applications...
We had a similar problem in Juli but this one is very slightly different:

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=mysql-dfsg-4.1&ver=4.1.14-5&arch=m68k&stamp=112784...

then mv -f ".deps/my_new.Tpo" ".deps/my_new.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/my_new.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

How to repeat:
Compile on the m68k architecture with a recent gcc-4.0 suite.
See above URL for the complete build log with configure statement.

Suggested fix:
Don't include any kernel header.

Maybe you find ideas how to fix it in the following bug reports:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=7851
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11845

A possible will be uploaded to this bug report now.

Christian, could you upload the config.log (and, preferrably, the output of sh -x ./configure <your usual configure options>) ?

configure tries to detect whether atomic.h is usable and should not define HAVE_ATOMIC_ADD otherwise.

Hello

The bug also comes up with MySQL 5.0.15. It seems to be dependend on the GCC version.

The test program from configure.in, I compiled with "gcc -Wall -o t t.c", is:
   #include <asm/atomic.h>
   int main()
   {
          atomic_t v;

          atomic_set(&v, 23);
          atomic_add(5, &v);
          return atomic_read(&v) == 28 ? 0 : -1;
  }

Results:

gcc-2.95: OK
gcc-3.3: 
   /usr/include/asm/atomic.h: In Funktion »atomic_add«:
  /usr/include/asm/atomic.h:21: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm'

The relevant lines of atomic.h are:
  static __inline__ void atomic_add(int i, atomic_t *v)
  {
        __asm__ __volatile__("addl %1,%0" : "=m" (*v) : "id" (i), "0" (*v));
  }

Be aware that the kernel headers are obviously not the same on every architecture and kernel version so yours might look slightly different. This one is from 2.6.13-rc3.

I'm not sure if the primary problem is in MySQL or gcc vs. the kernel.

Forget my last mail, I did the compile tests in the wrong chroot :)
Attached you find config.log and the build log.

bye,

config.log

I think the thing to do here is to make sure our tests for the atomic_*() functions are done using C++ by adding the appropriate AC_LANG_{SAVE,CPLUSPLUS,RESTORE} magic.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

  http://lists.mysql.com/internals/32152

From the error message it does not look like c/c++ is an issue.
Jim are you sure your fix will solve the problem ?
Christian did the fix helped you ?

Is BUG#15244 a duplicate of this one? Also see http://lists.mysql.com/packagers/264 for a related discussion.

Christian,

Please, check the patch proposed and inform about the results.

Hello

Sorry, I can't verify it currently as I don't have access to a reasonable fast m68k machine
but I will report if the patch does not work after the next 5.0.x release, ok?

bye,

-christian-

OK. I'll set status "Need Feedback" until that.

-1) early version is affected, too
 0) it is not related to m68k
 1) the patch helps

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

  http://lists.mysql.com/commits/4736

pushed to 5.1.10, 5.0.21, 4.1.19 and 4.0.27

It was a problem with configure and including atomic operations header file (atomic.h) on some linux distributions (like altlinux, and some other)

Noted in 4.0.27, 4.1.19, 5.0.21, 5.1.10 changelogs.

Avoid trying to include <asm/atomic.h> when it doesn't work in C++
code. (Bug #13621)
