This one needs to go aut before or at the same as the next kernel update (probably 4.14.18)

Priority: Normal => High

Mageia 6 :: x86_64

Installed all the packages and then updated them.  Clean update.

On this machine there was still a copy of the docker sources from an unrelated update.  Rebuilding this should exercize some of the packages, the compiler anyway.
$ cat SPECS/docker.spec | grep -i gcc
BuildRequires:  gcc
$ bm -l
< This ran smoothly and finished with: >
+ /usr/bin/rm -rf /home/lcl/qa/docker/after/docker/BUILDROOT/docker-17.03.1-4.mga6.x86_64
+ exit 0
succeeded!

Looking for ways to test some of the other components.

!My Fortran days are 30 years in the past so I lifted a snippet from the IBM Knowledge Center.
      
      PROGRAM CALCULATE

Big deal.

Summary     : Java related tools from gcc 5.4.0
Description :
This package includes Java related tools built from gcc 5.4.0:

   * gij: a Java ByteCode Interpreter
   * gcjh: generate header files from class files
   * jcf-dump: print information about class files
   * gcj-dbtool: tool for manipulating class file databases
   * grmic: generate stubs for Remote Method Invocation
   * grmiregistry: the remote object registry
   * aot-compile: ahead-of-time compiler
   * gappletviewer
   * gc-analyze
   * gjar
   * gjarsigner
   * gjavah
   * gkeytool
   * gnative2ascii
   * gorbd
   * grmid
   * gtnameserv
   * gserialver

Leaving that alone.

Giving this an OK for x86_64 but others might like to try java or objective C.

This is one update which should definitely be tested on 32 bits.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA6-64-OK

Docker uses golang instead of gcc.

Maybe so but isn't gcc involved as well?
BuildRequires:  gcc
BuildRequires:  glibc-static-devel

# ensure build uses golang 1.4 or above
BuildRequires:  golang >= 1.7

BuildRequires:  libsqlite3-devel

BuildRequires:  golang-net-devel
BuildRequires:  go-md2man
BuildRequires:  device-mapper-devel
BuildRequires:  btrfs-devel
BuildRequires:  systemd-devel

On the other hand I don't really understand the spec file so gcc needs another compilation test.  Tomorrow sometime.

Honestly I don't know whether GCC is used to build some portion of it or not, one would have to check a build log to know for sure, but it's probably better to build something that's actually written in C to be sure to have a good test :o).

kernel in bug 22533 is now built with this gcc-5.5.0-1 so we know atleast it works there :)

System: MGA6::x86_64 Dell Precision T1600

I've compiled a new kernel and other packages without any issues.

@stig, David and tmb.  We can't do better than that but for form's sake I shall hack something in C.

Created attachment 9956 [details]
Generate a number of "hailstones"

$ gcc -o hailstones hailstones.c
$ hailstones <some integer>

Created attachment 9958 [details]
Program containing embedded assembler code

$ gcc -o mmx mmx.c
$ ./mmx
MMX is NOT detected !

Found a couple of trivial programs in my archives - see attachments.
They work OK anyway.

Also ran a local build of openjpeg2 which is all C as far as I can see.

$ mgarepo co -d 6 openjpeg2
$ cd openjpeg2
$ bm -ls
$ bm -l
That worked fine.

Mageia 6:: 1586 in virtualbox

Installed all the packages.
Used the scripts from the 64-bit tests:
$ gfortran -o calculate calculate.f90
$ ./calculate

$ gcc -o hailstones hailstones.c
$ ./hailstones 200
26 hailstones generated from 200
$ gcc -o mmx mmx.c
$ ./mmx
MMX is NOT detected !

For the local build hit a problem trying to connect to SVN.  Using the same  public and private keys and config file as on the host.

svn: E210002: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
svn: E210002: Network connection closed unexpectedly

Need to investigate this.

Installed and tested without issues.

Tested by compiling several C and C++ projects (including some from github), with unit tests, and running both the main programs and the tests. Also cross-compiled to target a x86 arch on a x86_64 build system. No noticeable regressions.

System: Mageia 6, x86_64, Intel CPU.
