#3937 closed project (fixed)

Move content of bsp_specs to GCC

Reported by: Sebastian Huber Owned by: Sebastian Huber <sebastian.huber@…>
Priority: normal Milestone: 6.1
Component: tool/gcc Version: 6
Severity: normal Keywords: qualification
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: #3250

Description

Move content of the bsp_specs to GCC 10. Once this is done, update the tools and delete the bsp_specs.

On powerpc this means we have to move the content of rtems_crti.S to GCC. It may not be possible to back port this to GCC 10 and we may have to maintain this as a patch until GCC 11 is released.

Add support for ​nostartfiles and ​nodefaultlibs.

Replying to Joel Sherrill:

Dupe of #3250

I think this is a subtask.

Since -qrtems is not used to build GCC/Newlib. The rtems_crti.S could probably stay in RTEMS.

The only crti/crtn not provided by GCC are these for the PowerPC. They really should move. Whatever is being done is a hack left over from the days when we were unwilling to modify GCC.

$ find . -name rtems_crt*
./bsps/powerpc/shared/start/rtems_crti.S
./bsps/powerpc/shared/start/rtems_crtn.S

"Remove hacks left over from when we were unwilling to modify GCC" should be the name of this ticket. :)

I will try to get the RTEMS-only changes in GCC 10.2. This already requires release manager approval.

I am not sure if they are happy if I try to change standard powerpc files for RTEMS on a release branch.

It turned out that the GCC specs processing is a bit more complicated and the current approach doesn't work:
