On Solaris 10 with strict C99 and C++ 2011 I see Error: Goto end bypasses a variable

Sadly I can not provide a lot of input here however :

Also I did not want -O2 and in fact I just wanted a default debug non-optimized compile.

Well gee ... this is a mess. 

Perhaps we don't build the lib? 

Hi @blastwave, can you provide information how you configure re2c and how you build it (what commands exactly do you use)?

The goto problem is easy to fix (pushed a fix: 568d422), although I wonder which initialization the Solaris compiler didn't like (there is a static constant, an uninitialized array and a nested variable in a for-loop; both GCC and Clang consider the code ok).

The link error is weird. By default re2c does not try to build libre2c library (it is an experimental research project), so it should not be built unless you configure with --enable-libs (or -DRE2C_BUILD_LIBS=yes for CMake). That's why I'm asking how exactly you configure and build re2c.

By default re2c tries to build with -O2 -g. This is to provide reasonable defaults for people who build re2c with a simple configure && make && make install (or cmake . && make). It is possible to override default flags on the command line (which I think you did).

Also, by default re2c tries to build with -std=c++98, but I don't see it in you compiler options, so either you patched the build files, or the Solaris compiler does not support this option. What is "strict" C99 and C++ 2011 mode? How is it different from passing an -std option to the compiler?

OKay, let me go through this as best as I can and provide what details I have.

how you configure re2c ? 

Well firstly we have the environment variables at this time. 
I will put in some blank lines where that makes sense :

Pretty basic stuff but above you see that the compiler here is c99 which is a strictly compliant C compiler. There are CFLAGS that enforce this with -Xc which you can think of as "we really mean we want C99 and we are not joking".

The configuration was thus : 

    ./configure --prefix=/opt/bw \
        --disable-silent-rules --enable-dependency-tracking \
        --enable-debug --enable-libs \
        --enable-shared --enable-static --without-gnu-ld

The link error is weird?

OKay I guess I should not even try to bother with the libre2c library.

It is an experimental research project??  Is that in a README somewhere? I will go look.

By default re2c tries to build with -O2 -g?  That makes sense.
However I don't have those in my CFLAGS and it looks like configure
did not respect the CFLAGS env var. 

Do I need to specify the CFLAGS also on the command line?

You say "by default re2c tries to build with -std=c++98".  Oh, well in that case I need
to provide different CXXFLAGS and not try C++2011 here.  That is easy. 

Also the "-std" thing looks to be a gnuism for GCC and not for the Oracle studio compiler
tools.  I will re-pull the git repo and start over and also perhaps I may edit the Makefiles
manually to remove the -g -O2 as well as other things I may see. 

When in doubt, try again as they say.

I should let you know that I do see a really large number of warnings
but those don't concern me nearly as much as errors.

Strange thing I barely ever took notice of. The Oracle Studio 12.6 tools will accept CCFLAGS and the -std option but only for the C++ compiler and not the C compiler.

The documentation for the Oracle tools is entirely horrific and says little about selection of a C++ language standard. In fact the only thing I could find was :

The C++ compiler (CC) supports the ISO International Standard for C++,
 ISO IS 14882:2011, Programming Language—C++. The 2011 standard replaced
 the 2003 standard, but the compiler recognizes the new features added
 in C++11 only when the option –std=c++11 is in effect.

The C++ compiler (CC) supports the ISO International Standard for C++,
 ISO IS 14882:2014, Programming Language—C++. The 2014 standard replaced
 the 2011 standard, which in turn replaced the 2003 standard. The
 compiler recognizes the new features added in C++11 only when the
 option –std=c++11 is in effect, and recognizes the new features added
 in C++14 only when the option –std=c++14 is in effect. 

So I will just give this a go with -std=c++11 and see what happens.

Well, everything compiles fine. However the "make check" fails a test :

Thanks for such a detailed answer!

You should configure without --enable-libs:

    ./configure --prefix=/opt/bw \
        --disable-silent-rules --enable-dependency-tracking \
        --enable-debug \
        --without-gnu-ld

OKay I guess I should not even try to bother with the libre2c library.

If you want to build libre2c, we can surely debug the link error, but in that case can you please try configuring with --enable-libs, but without --enable-shared --enable-static, as I'm not sure what is the effect of those options. The library definitely builds on Linux, *BSD, macOS and Windows.

It is an experimental research project?? Is that in a README somewhere? I will go look.

The build instructions page linked from README.md explains that the --enable-libs option stands for "build the experimental libre2c library that provides POSIX regcomp/regexec/regfree interface to re2c."

Brief description of libre2c was on the release notes for re2c-1.2 a while ago: "...The algorithms described in the paper are implemented in an experimental library libre2c. The library is intended as a playground for experiments and research, not a replacement for existing libraries like RE2. Having re2c as a library is convenient for benchmarking, testing and creating bindings to other languages". The paper is linked from the home page: Efficient POSIX Submatch Extraction on NFA.

By default re2c tries to build with -O2 -g? That makes sense. However I don't have those in my CFLAGS and it looks like configure did not respect the CFLAGS env var. Do I need to specify the CFLAGS also on the command line?

Configure did respect your flags, because I can see them in the compiler commands that you posted at the beginning of this thread. On the command line./configure CFLAGS="..." CXXFLAGS="..." also works.

The checking C++ compiler flag -std=c++98... no lines in configure output come from configure.ac, which checks if each compiler flag exists before it tries to use it. So, if your compiler has -std=c++98, re2c will set it; otherwise it won't.

You say "by default re2c tries to build with -std=c++98". Oh, well in that case I need to provide different CXXFLAGS and not try C++2011 here. That is easy.

I'd expect re2c to build with C++11 as well (it does on Linux).

Also the "-std" thing looks to be a gnuism for GCC and not for the Oracle studio compiler tools. I will re-pull the git repo and start over and also perhaps I may edit the Makefiles manually to remove the -g -O2 as well as other things I may see.

As I wrote above, if your compiler doesn't support -std, the build system does not use it. Normally you don't have to patch build files, simply provide the flags you need on the command line (or with env vars as you did).

I should let you know that I do see a really large number of warnings but those don't concern me nearly as much as errors.

This is because configure.ac sets -Weverything and your compiler supports it, that might be an overkill. I use it with Clang sometimes, but it adds a lot of noise.

Oh, you've already ran the tests while I was writing the comment. C++11 should be fine, re2c uses C++98 for backward compatibility with old toolchains, but we'll probably switch to C++11 soon, as C++98 causes more trouble than benefit nowadays.

However the "make check" fails a test

If some of the tests fail, there should be a temporary directory (named temp_<timestamp>) with a bunch of files left for the failed tests; in particular, there are diffs. Can you attach those diffs here?

Can you attach those diffs here?

Just in case you are not familiar with GitHub interface: if the files are large, it's best to attach them by clicking the gray text "Attach files by dragging & dropping, selecting or pasting them" at the bottom of GutHub comment form instead of pasting in the comment.

OKay, this is all good progress. Indeed there are some diff files in a directory called test_210330063442 and I will try to attach a tarball. This is what I see :

 alpha $ find test_210330063442/ -type f | xargs wc -l

alpha $ 

oops .. github says they do not support the file type .tar.xz so maybe
I can make a zip file. I have not done a zip file in years.

[test_210330063442.zip](https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/files/6227092/test_210330063442.zip)

I had to search around to figure out how to make a zip file. No support for tarballs on github?
That feels like a bug. 

Ok, the error is the same in both tests:

re2c: error: cannot open file: msg_02.re.inc

It is strange that this file is missing, because there are other .inc files in the tests that don't cause a problem:

$ find test -name '*.inc'
test/messages/nested/msg_02.re.inc
test/include/include003.re.c.inc
test/include/include001.re.c.inc
test/include/include001.re.b.inc
test/include/nested/include002.re.b.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.bd.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.be.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.cd.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.ce.inc
test/include/nested/include002.re.c.inc
test/include/include003.re.b.inc

Can you confirm that the file test/messages/nested/msg_02.re.inc is not accidentally deleted?

Also, can you rerun ./run_tests.sh -j<N> with different N a few times to see if the results are always the same?

In any case, it's a problem with the test harness, not with re2c itself.

This is what I see here :

alpha $ which find 
/usr/xpg4/bin/find
alpha $ find test -name '*.inc' | sort 
test/include/include001.re.b.inc
test/include/include001.re.c.inc
test/include/include003.re.b.inc
test/include/include003.re.c.inc
test/include/nested/include002.re.b.inc
test/include/nested/include002.re.c.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.bd.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.be.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.cd.inc
test/include/nested/nested/include002.re.ce.inc
test/messages/nested/msg_02.re.inc
alpha $ 

As you say, this is a test harness issue and not a real test fail. 
I can run the run_tests.sh with various N but really I am fairly happy
with the results here.

I went ahead and installed the resultant binaries however the man pages look borked :

alpha $ man -M /opt/bw/share/man re2c

I assure you there is tons of temp file space laying around. 

re2c comes with pre-generated man page: https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/blob/master/bootstrap/doc/re2c.1 (and another one for re2go). Normally the build just copies that file into the build directory and installs it (there is an option to regenerate man pages, but it's only needed if you have changed the documentation and want to rebuild it).

What happens if you do man bootstrap/doc/re2c.1? Does it render correctly, or does it fail with the same (or different) error?

Maybe also worth checking with LANG=C man bootstrap/doc/re2c.1.

After googling the error, I think that nroff on Solaris might not be able to handle the re2c manpage which is autogenerated from .rst with docutils (rst2man).

I'm not sure how to work around this manpage issue other than to just manaully copy in the ready-to-read files you provided.

What happens if you do man bootstrap/doc/re2c.1? Does it render correctly, or does it fail with the same (or different) error?

Maybe also worth checking with LANG=C man bootstrap/doc/re2c.1

There shouldn't be any need to manually copy pregenerated manpages, that's what the build system does by default. To regenerate them it is necessary to pass --enable-docs configure option, which requires rst2man.py from docutils.

I suspect that the error is happening not in the process of installation of the pregenerated manpages, but in the process of reading them with nroff, because nroff on Solaris cannot handle some of the constructs in the pregenerated manpages (which have also been generated with rst2man.py). But that's just a hypothesis.

Closing, as the original issue was resolved. The remaining issue with documentation seems to be due to nroff on Solaris being incompatible with docutils-generated manpage, and there's little we can do here.

Thank you for looking at this issue. I recall the fun it was to get things working "well enough"(tm).

Sadly I shutdown my last Solaris servers late last year. I think Oracle did a fine job killing it off.
