Branch: CURRENT, Version: 20120301, Package name: gnat-aux-20120301, Maintainer: draco

The GNAT AUX Ada compiler targeted at *BSD and *Solaris platforms

GNAT AUX is based on the trunk version of Free Software Foundation's GNU
Compiler Collection. It carries with it the GMGPL license, the modified
version of the GPL that exempts generic instantiation from resulting in
a GPL-licensed executable. This version of GNAT also carries with it the
GCC Runtime Library Exception, so the resulting binaries have no licensing
requirements. Binaries produced by GNAT AUX should be handled the same as
binaries produced by any FSF GNAT compiler.

GNAT AUX implements the full Ada-83, Ada-95, and Ada-2005 language standards.
It also implements some features of the draft Ada-2012 standard, which are
optionally accessible via the -gnat2012 switch or Ada_2012 pragma.

GNAT AUX always builds C, and builds Ada, Fortran, C++, and Objective-C by
default. The last four languages can be disabled by the options framework.

lang/gnat-aux: Sync with gcc 4.6.3

GCC 4.6.3 was released 01 MAR 2012.  It is a bug-fix release for regressions
and serious bugs.  Seventy-four bug reports were addressed.  The link is
available at bottom of http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html

Unlike release 4.6.2, a few Ada issues were among those addressed.

Log message:
lang/gnat-aux: Fix introduced gnat.dg test failure on i386-netbsdelf-*

Previously the Ada testsuite was given unlimited stack resources for the
x86_64 arch on NetBSD.  Since all platforms now need unlimited stack
resources to build gnat-aux due to the addition of <platform>-stdint.h
header, this platform specific restriction on the Ada testsuite was
removed.

Unfortunately that resulted in a new stack test failure on i386 NetBSD
platforms (gnat.dg/task_stack_align.adb execution test), so the original
restriction seen in gnat-aux-20110627 was restored.  Now i386 NetBSD
once again pass all gnat.dg tests.  This is strictly a testsuite issue
so no PKGREVISION bump is necessary.

Log message:
lang/gnat-aux: Upgrade to gcc 4.6.2, add Fortran, Objective-C

Obvious additions:
1) Upgrades sync from gcc 4.6.1-RELEASE to gcc 4.6.2-RELEASE
2) New capability of building Fortran
3) New capability of building Objective-C
4) Building of all 5 languages (Ada,C,C++,ObjC,Fortran) now default
5) Fortran testsuite added
6) ObjC testsuite added

Behind the scenes:
1) Previously GNAT-Aux was built from a custom-built tarball.  Now real
   real gcc source files are used instead, but heavily patched.
2) The standard patch mechanism is not used.  Composite diff files are
   generated by dragonlace.net and they are applied as needed, and
   are located in the "files" directory
3) This might be the only gcc that doesn't use the monolithic source tar
   ball.  Depending on the options selected, the makefile updates its
   distfile list and only downloads what it needs, including testsuite
   files and dejagnu support.
4) All platforms are now built with unlimited stacksize command due to
   new issues with <platform>-stdint.h functionality.
5) All platforms use unlimited stacksize for Ada testing. Before it was
   limited to NetBSD x86_64.  This may have introduced a failure on
   NetBSD i386 though.  There were no other impacts according to the
   Ada testsuite results.
6) The PLIST automatic generation was significantly simplified, resulting
   in some variable deletion.
7) libstdc++ can't break testing now (forced to evaluate to true)
8) Unnecessary depends and USE_TOOLS removed
9) The includes-fixed directory is now removed from all platforms, arches
   now rather than problematic ones.  It seems that it can only make no
   difference or cause problems, so no reason to keep it around.
A) Unnecessary do-config phase "touches" removed.
B) Several fixes added to diff patches to improve testsuite results on
   c, c++, and fortran for all platforms.

lang/gnat-aux: Fix distinfo

This hash of the last added patch was incorrect for some reason.  While
we are fixing that, fix CVSIDs on patch-ac and patch-ad.

Log message:
lang/gnat-aux: Modify rpath handling for shared project libraries

The GNAT compiler project builder essentially doesn't support DESTDIR
out of the box.  By default, it sets rpath of shared libraries to the
directory to which they are installed.  One may add additional rpaths
through switches, but not remove these default ones.  Also added to
the default rpath are the paths to the ada library and the standard
localbase library.

This modification to the compiler will force the project builder to
recognize the -R switch (gnatlink uses this to disable rpaths), and
it reacts by not putting the library install path into rpath.  The
adalib and ${LOCALBASE}/lib paths will still make up the base rpath
definition of the built shared libraries.

This change was prompted by the rpath troubles of the XML/Ada package.

Log message:
Add x86-Solaris and symbolic traceback support

This changeset addresses several things:
1) Adds support for x86-Solaris (Namely OpenIndiana)
2) Properly implements run-time symbolic traceback support
3) Arranges makefile so patches can be handled in a standard fashion
4) Properly implements MAKE_JOBS which reduces build times by 66%+ on
   the quad-core test machine (30 minutes down to < 10 minutes)
