tor-devel @0.2.9.1-alpha: build crashes gcc-4.2

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Building tor-devel @0.2.9.1-alpha on Mac OS X 10.6 crashes the gcc-4.2 compiler.

​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_x86_64_legacy-builder/builds/897

tor @0.2.8.6 doesn't have this problem.

Maybe we need to blacklist old gcc versions. Or maybe the developers of tor could work around the problem somehow.

Seems I can't reproduce this problem.

Just tried building tor-devel 0.2.9.1-alpha

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X Server
ProductVersion: 10.6.8
BuildVersion:   10K549

with

$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.1.00)

which gives me a working

Aug 24 23:56:40.221 [notice] Tor v0.2.9.1-alpha (git-8b1ea189610f4a96) running on Darwin with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.2h and Zlib 1.2.8.

From Upstream Tor Changelog: ​https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/plain/ChangeLog

o Minor bugfixes (compilation):

• Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug ​19903; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

Though from what I understand this only affected OpenBSD.

The only difference that I can extract from your logs: You're using /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 which doesn't exist on my OS X 10.6.8 machine. I only have /usr/bin/gcc which is a symlink to /usr/bin/gcov-4.2.

I'm using Xcode 4.2 (828). Which version of Xcode are you using?

Our Snow Leopard buildbot worker uses Xcode 3.2.6, the last free version of Xcode for Snow Leopard.

This can be closed as irrelevant now, I believe. tor-devel avoids gcc-4.2:

compiler.blacklist-append \
                    {*gcc-[34].*} {clang < 400}
