here in top with swapoff -a i still see tasks with swap usage in top

imho its not userspace problem, but kernel space not handling swapoff like it should do

Hey Benny!

will not make amiga software better unless amiga developper
change to upgrade old gcc 2.97 with was the last ported amiga
compiled version

I seriously doubt this is a real issue.

gcc 11 cant compile gcc 2.x sadly, speek up if one manages to do
it :)

It won't happen. Also libc, kernel headers, etc. will determine how far one could gradually upgrade and then I doubt that would be that far removed from gcc 2.97 given hardware limitations. Do you know of anyone who has attempted this? You're the only one I know of that even brings the subject of amiga and linux compatibilty up.

Life is good,
Maurice

So being of a curious nature, I built this earlier today. Here's my experience with it so far:

Did an out-of-tree build on Debian Buster using gcc8.

configure failed but told me what dependencies I needed. I was able to install all
3 from my distro's repo very quickly.

Re-ran configure. completed. make -j5. completed. make install. completed.

make check. Failed 14/22 tests. At the tail end I got this

make[4]: *** [Makefile:1871: test-suite.log] Error 1 rm b3test_dwz
make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build/libbacktrace' make[3]: *** [Makefile:1979: check-TESTS] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build/libbacktrace' make[2]: *** [Makefile:2264: check-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build/libbacktrace' make[1]: *** [Makefile:8491: check-libbacktrace] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build' make: *** [Makefile:2419: do-check] Error 2


I ran "make check" again (without -j) and got this:

andy@oceanus:~/src/gcc_build$ make check make[1]: Entering directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build' make[2]: Entering directory '/home/andy/src/gcc_build/fixincludes' autogen -T ../../gcc-11.1.0/fixincludes/check.tpl ../../gcc-11.1.0/fixincludes/inclhack.def
/bin/bash: autogen: command not found

I built rmw with problem, added the -fanalyzer flag. The build output was the same
as with my default compiler (no extra warnings or errors).

After stripping the binary, the size was only slightly larger

andy@oceanus:~/src/rmw-project/_build$ ls -al ./rmw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 andy andy 56000 Apr 29 16:24 ./rmw andy@oceanus:~/src/rmw-project/_build$ ls -al /usr/bin/rmw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55896 Apr 29 15:34 /usr/bin/rmw

Hey Andrew!

I built rmw with problem, added the -fanalyzer flag.

With or without I get the same result;

# ls -al ./rmw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 62712 Apr 29 22:57 ./rmw
# file ./rmw
./rmw: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

After stripping;
# ls -al ./rmw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52640 Apr 29 23:03 ./rmw
# file ./rmw
./rmw: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

My unstripped is larger but the stripped version is slightly smaller. For the record my CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -Os -pipe -m64 -fPIC".

And just to make sure;

Looks good from this angle.
