make.conf fragility

Alain De Vos

Alain De Vos

Some ports fail to build due to make.conf fragility.
Even simple and unharmfull ones like,
CFLAGS+= -no-lto
CXXFLAGS+= -no-lto
LDFLAGS+= -no-lto
 
make.conf isn't "fragile".

Fiddling with compiler/linker flags is fragile and will always be.

What problem are you really trying to solve? Seeing "lto" here: The ports framework currently doesn't enable LTO, some ports do, but AFAIK all of them provide an option for it.
 
Indeed it's not make it's the ports themselves.
They expect sometimes none compile or link flags , or bail out with a build-error.
And it's only a few ports like 1%. All the rest build fine.
 
Trying seriously again: Fiddling with compiler/linker flags is almost always wrong, don't do it.

So, I'll repeat my question: What's the goal of that idea? Any specific ports you had problems with? Why do you think these flags would help?
 
zirias@ I think you already know the answer to your question. The goal is to rice builds via Gentoo Linux metaphor.

Which in turn answers the following:

Usually with badassery and street cred? 😛

I didn't link this specific site, partially because it just derails the topic, partially because some attempt to disable LTO hardly qualifies as "ricing" 😂.

Still, waiting for an answer what actual problem should be solved here....
 
Well... I also see "ricing" in general as a way to implementing improvement but wouldn't reward much gain or any benefit, regardless if it's performance-focused or not. Also, my "derailment" is on point with your "fiddling with compiler/linker flags" argument. I don't appreciate your bashing reply either way.

But whatever, my apologies for "partially" derailing this...

Uhm. Really don't know what to say here, except maybe you might consider questioning your interpretation of my response? Maybe my english language skills can't be trusted, I don't know 🤷‍♂️. I can put it directly if that's preferred ... it sure reminded me of the "Gentoo ricer" as well (so ... had some fun here including reading your post), I just think the hints were enough as there still might be a real problem hidden ;)

edit: looking like a rage quit now and I'm really sorry about that. Still, I don't really understand it 😕...

Y'know, a lesson that I derive from comments like that is that global flags should be used with great care.

For example, I always enable the DOCS flag, but I wouldn't do that in /etc/make.conf. Reasoning is that some ports download documentation from the project's home site (a lot of Python modules do that), and some interpret the DOCS to mean that make should invoke the doxygen command to look through the source code and generate documentation from in-line comments. And if devel/doxygen is not installed/compiled, then that whole port just doesn't build, and needs to have the DOCS flag turned off. I've had that happen to me - one time devel/doxygen just didn't build for some reason, and that affected port compilation down the line.

JFTR, DOCS is enabled by default in the ports framework... :-/

There isn't a really clear guideline about this. IMHO, when "doxygen" is about the only documentation available at all, DOCS should enable it. But there are contrary opinions as well because it's a pretty heavy dependency...
 
SirDice warned me it is a bad idea, but these are the flags i currently use.
Code: 
CFLAGS+= -O2 -pipe  -fvisibility=default -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fno-lto -fpie -fpic -fstack-protector
CXXFLAGS+= -O2 -pipe  -fvisibility=default -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fno-lto -fpie -fpic -fstack-protector
LDFLAGS+= -fno-lto -fpie -fpic
 
Previously i had "-fomit-frame-pointer" but i dropped it because the frame-pointer can allow profiling.
Also some linux distro's have now '-fno-omit-frame-pointer" as default...
 
Ufff ....
  • -O2: Default in most upstreams. Setting it here might overrule upstream, leading to both enabling optimizations on code that doesn't expect it and disabling other upstream defaults like e.g. -O3 or -Os.
  • -pipe: Tries using pipes between stages instead of temp files. Often added anyways, close to no impact at all.
  • -fvisibility=default: Surprise, this is the compiler default. Some libs might want to hide symbols by default, only exposing those explicitly marked, adding this flag here could break that.
  • -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2: A glibc feature, utterly pointless here.
  • -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS: A feature of gcc's libstdc++, almost as pointless.
  • -fexceptions: Compiler default. And C++ code compiled without exceptions has a reason to do so.
  • -fno-lto: Compiler default. Might break in funny ways with upstream code actually enabling LTO.
  • -fpie: Compiler default.
  • -fpic: Only makes sense for libraries, their build systems will set it.
  • -fstack-protector: Default in FreeBSD ports (actually, they even use the "strong" variant by default), with a mechanism for individual ports that are incompatible with it to disable it. Setting it here, you just break these ports.
Ok, didn't find any single entry that makes any sense here. The only one that does something without potentially causing trouble is -pipe, and the benefit of that is very questionable.

Again: What are you really trying to achieve with this?

Edit: A word of explanations about all the things that "could" break: In practice they will break somewhere. In theory, a perfect build system would construct CFLAGS and friends by first placing its overridable defaults, then the user-supplied CFLAGS and finally the flags that shouldn't be overridable to avoid breakage. In practice, almost no upstream build system is "perfect" and there's always a way to break the build with some CFLAGS setting.

Takeaway is: Do not set global CFLAGS (and friends). There might be rare situations where you need some custom CFLAGS for a specific port as a workaround for some specific problem, then set them only for this port (this is almost never needed).
 
Yeah, this really bears repeating:

If flags for a specific port need tweaking (and you know what you're doing), then there's no problem if you do that for that specific port. But there's no such thing as 'one-size-fits-all'. I think that /etc/make.conf was intended for tweaking how make works to begin with... not "Default flags to be set with every port", but more like ability to actually find and read the Makefile, ability to invoke compilers and other utilities that get specified in the Makefile... or the ability to resolve a system variable and translate it into a flag to be passed on... Just a very different scope than per-port flags. 😩
 
Some feedback. [ Must say SirDice was right from the beginning.]
I will remove my "stupid" CFLAGS,CXXFLAGS,LDFLAGS lines.
Why. It breakes more than i can bare. My system became even no longer bootable. It breaks stuff in strange ways.
It breaks stuff in dependent ports...
In short make.conf is good in setting port options, but setting "general" compiler or linker flags seems to be a very bad idea.
 
Alain De Vos don't feel bad about it, it's obviously a learning experience here (and that's why I took the time to give an assessment on every single flag you had....). The one you could probably keep without risking any breakage is -pipe, but then, there's really little to gain....

Once presented some powerful system to automatically build software on your own machine (and yes, that's what FreeBSD's ports is, and probably also Gentoo's portage although I never tried it), I certainly see the temptation to fiddle with stuff "just because". Nothing wrong with that, just one thing to keep in mind: Fiddling with stuff you don't fully understand can easily cause problems.

I hope I could help to understand why global CFLAGS will cause problems sooner or later.

Maybe now it is time to post this (ages old) article for some giggles: https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html

Disclaimer: This isn't meant for bashing Gentoo here, also not for bashing its users, just a kind of funny collection of "stupid" things some Gentoo users did and/or wrote. Still it's poking fun of other people, so only read it if you're prepared not to take it too seriously ;)

There's still quite some weirdness, but let's start with this:

CPUTYPE?=alderlake – well, nothing really wrong here (except I don't get why ?=, do you expect it to be overridden from somewhere?). But then, it certainly means packages built with that setting won't work on any other CPU. And the performance gain is most likely not even measurable for most software (there are exceptions of course).

This one really raises an eyebrow:
Code: 
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=12
MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes
MAKEOPTS="-j12"
NINJAOPTS="-j12"
You know MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE is there to disable parallel building? So, you're contradicting yourself, and even worse, you add make flags that are already controlled by the ports framework. Remove all of that! Are you building with poudriere? In that case, control whether you want parallel building or not (this can even be done per port/package) in poudriere.conf.

Then, these just look like a generally bad idea:
Code: 
NO_CHECKSUM=yes
WITHOUT_MANCOMPRESS=yes
You want checksums, otherwise you might build from some tampered upstream distfile. And you want compressed manpages, anything else is just a waste of space.

About a few others, I just don't know what should be the point :-/

Edit: BTW, not talking about globally set port options here, I think these are fine in general. But then, your list seems pretty huge. Looks like many of them only apply to a single port? Then better just set them for that single port! Setting options globally only makes sense for options that are indeed understood by many ports. Just for comparison, here's the make.conf I currently use:
