From c57bcb47b1e482557c7ee6ec2cfaad52bc55c67e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gow Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:46:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] test: Fix building with libunwind under autotools There are two issues which are stopping the SDL tests from building on my machine: - libunwind is not being linked - Even if it is, it is missing several symbols. The first is fixed by having the test programs link against libunwind if available. Technically, SDL2_test should be linking against it, as it's used in SDL_test_memory.c, but as SDL2_test is a static library, it can't itself import libunwind. We just assume that if it's present on the system, we should link it directly to the test programs. This should strictly be an improvement, as the only case where this'd fail is if SDL2 was compiled when libunwind was present, but the tests are being compiled without it, and that'd fail anyway. The second is fixed by #define-ing UNW_LOCAL_ONLY before including libunwind.h: this is required to make libunwind link to predicatable symbols, in what can only be described as a bit of a farce. There are a few more details in the libunwind man page, but the gist of it is that it disables support for "remote unwinding": unwinding stack frames in a different process (and possibly from a different architecture?): http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html Note that I haven't tried this with CMake: I suspect that it'll work, though, as the CMakeLists.txt seems to have SDL2 link against libunwind if it's present. This adds an ugly extra dependency to SDL2, but does mean that issue 1 isn't present. The UNW_LOCAL_ONLY change shouldn't be build-system-specific. --- src/test/SDL_test_memory.c | 1 + test/configure.ac | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/test/SDL_test_memory.c b/src/test/SDL_test_memory.c index df182da41..e49bd60ab 100644 --- a/src/test/SDL_test_memory.c +++ b/src/test/SDL_test_memory.c @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include "SDL_test_memory.h" #ifdef HAVE_LIBUNWIND_H +#define UNW_LOCAL_ONLY #include #endif diff --git a/test/configure.ac b/test/configure.ac index a0450255a..1ff1157ed 100644 --- a/test/configure.ac +++ b/test/configure.ac @@ -192,6 +192,13 @@ if test x$have_SDL_ttf = xyes; then fi AC_SUBST(SDL_TTF_LIB) +dnl Really, SDL2_test should be linking against libunwind (if it found +dnl libunwind.h when configured), but SDL2_test is a static library, so +dnl there's no way for it to link against it.
