John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:35): John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:35):Anyone have a moment to take a look at the CI failure for https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc/pull/270 ? I was getting there is with my (admitting highly nonstandard) toolchain before my change. So I am a confused what's up.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:36):I think I am using -isysroot wrong, but I do not understand how the --sysroot prior worked either the more I read the sparse GCC and Clang documentation on this. I would like to replace both with a plain old -I, but then I get another spooky error.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:37):In particular __strong_reference is only used in _Exit.c and nanosleep.c, and those files don't seem to (before or after) get the include needed for __strong_reference's CPP definition, and yet it worked before.
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:38):"-isysroot "/home/runner/work/wasi-libc/wasi-libc/sysroot/include"
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:39):should this be " -isysroot "/home/runner/work/wasi-libc/wasi-libc/sysroot", without the trailing include? the docs for -isysroot say it works like -sysroot, which suggests it inteprrets the path as the root of the sysroot
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:39):So I think "-isysroot "/home/runner/work/wasi-libc/wasi-libc/sysroot" would work for CI.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:40):but the docs also talk about things like $sysroot/usr/include. And neither works in my local build! I think sysroot is very magic in that the paths that it looks for within the sysroot are somehow configurable.
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:41):hrm, I've not encountered things looking for "usr" inside sysroot. That's... unfortunate.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:42):So yeah in conclusion it would be nice to just use plain old -I
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:42):an avoid all that spooky ambient configuration that effects what exactly "sysroot" things do.
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:43):Yeah, or -isystem so that it does the right thing wrt <....h> includes
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:43):But then, I get the __strong_reference error. In fact, -I ... -isysroot together also causes the __strong_reference error! madness!
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:43):what is the __strong_reference error?
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:43):Dan Gohman said:

What exactly do you mean? <...> vs ".."?
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:44):Yeah. -isystem is like -I but marks the directory as a "system" include directory.

It doesn't get the macro def and at least one of those two files fail to build.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:44):Dan Gohman said:
Yeah.
-isystemis like-Ibut marks the directory as a "system" include directory.
there is also -Iquote and -isystem.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:45):I will try some of those
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:45):Include directories provided by wasi-libc should be treated as "system" directories.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:46):OK -isystem + -isysroot worked!
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:46):Now trying just -isystem.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:46):-I does affect <...> lookup too. I think Postel's law muddled the distinctions long ago :) but I will check the docs.
Dan Gohman (Mar 21 2022 at 21:47):Yeah I forget the exact rules because srsly
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:49):OK! -isystem alone works, and -idirafter also works.
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 21:50):So the issue wasn't "systemness" but order --- that the other -I must override this. Yuck!!!
John Ericson (Mar 21 2022 at 22:03):Wrote a big fat comment and pushed :).
