Building Lazarus 3.4 with FreePascal 3.2.2 fails under OpenBSD 7.5

[BSaidus]

I have installed fpc-3.2.2-x64-openbsd64 first, I compiled simple console program to display "Hello" with ReadLn() as last instruction.
 OpenBSD 7.6 came's with libc.so.100.3 and libpthread.so.27.1 whereas fpc needs libc.so.96.1 and libpthread.so.26.2 (I think). I've made soft links to these libraries.
  ./test compile & executes, but with crash.

I reinstalled fpc-3.2.2-x32-openbsd64, it even do not run.

Thanks.

Sidenote.
Found the bugger that caused gtk2 apps to crash on OpenBSD. If the patch is used, gtk2 apps run as expected again on OpenBSD.

And, finally, some luck in building trunk on OpenBSD 7.6 !
Still need to investigate a bit more.

WOW!

Great news!

Our friends from CodeTyphon project found the solution: https://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/forum/ct-lab-news/6331-ct-lab-ver-8-70.html

Can you show us the code ?

I am not going to install CodeTyphon.
I was hoping you had !

Yes I did but it's fair play that you do it too...

Well his fixes, oddly enough, have perfect similarities with the patch you proposed here:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/41017

 

Even though it maybe like a work-around, I can confirm that it works. I tested it on OpenBSD 77 64-bit.
And, in my opinion, it's better than a completely non-working fpc-OpenBSD.

[DonAlfredo]

That is certainly good news !

Why doesn't anyone reply to your posts and mine?

Who is the dev.-maintainer of fpc-OpenBSD?

And is it necessary for this dev to be so pretentious and haughty?

There is no dedicated maintainer for the OpenBSD port.

Thanks Sven for this very welcome response.

And what are you going to do?
DonAlfredo's patch works perfectly, so only CodeTyphon can benefit from it?

I did check _FPC_proc_haltproc() asm method for Linux x84_64 and no cxa_finalize or similar finalization is called.
Also in Delphi, the halt procedure does a abrupt termination, without any finalization.

So why calling exit vs _exit in the haltproc for OpenBSD?

Imho that  exit  (so with call to cxa_finalize) should be used only at end of FPC_proc___start

FPC, like Ariane, launches a comet every few years.
It might be interesting to follow SpaceX's method, with a new release every three months.
If there are any bugs, they will be fixed in the next release.

And here are my predictions:

Linux for desktops will soon die, assassinated by Wayland/IBM, who will destroy its initial concept of freedom.

And the most innovative candidate, the one who had the courage to resume development of X11, which is more secure for servers and will take over, is of course OpenBSD.

Amen.
