Hi,

Solaris 10
gcc 4.8
ruby 2.2.0 current stable

I did configure/make, and it works until it tries to generate rdoc:

Could you please show configure options and environment variables,
and execute the following commands and show results?

% /usr/ccs/bin/nm numeric.o | grep infinity
% /usr/ccs/bin/nm .ext/i386-solaris2.10/date_core.so | grep infinity

[djberg96 (Daniel Berger)]

I didn't send any options to configure.

Thanks.
The output of the commands suggest that the macro INFINITY was defined when compiling numeric.c but was not defined when compiling ext/date/date_core.c.
I still couldn't find why.

INFINITY is C99 feature, and whether INFINITY is already defined or not is checked in include/ruby/missing.h:

#ifdef INFINITY
# define HAVE_INFINITY
#else
/** @internal */
RUBY_EXTERN const union bytesequence4_or_float rb_infinity;
# define INFINITY (rb_infinity.float_value)
#endif

The concrete definition of rb_infinity is in numeric.c:

#ifdef HAVE_INFINITY
#elif !defined(WORDS_BIGENDIAN) /* BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN */
const union bytesequence4_or_float rb_infinity = {{0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0x7f}};
#else
const union bytesequence4_or_float rb_infinity = {{0x7f, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00}};
#endif

[djberg96 (Daniel Berger)]

I don't know what to tell you. For anyone reading this, to get around it I did this:

configure --disable-install-doc --disable-install-rdoc
make
make install

It failed when it tried to install bundle gems, but core Ruby was still installed by that point. So then I went to ext/date and added this line near the top of date_core.c

const union bytesequence4_or_float rb_infinity = {{0x7f, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00}};

I also had to fix the Makefile:

top_srcdir = ../..

Then make; make install

Now it's working.

[ngoto (Naohisa Goto)]

Adding "-std=gnu99" to CFLAGS might solve the problem.

 % CFLAGS="-std=gnu99" ./configure

• ext/date/extconf.rb: try_cflags("-std=iso9899:1999") [Bug #10906]
  ruby itself (including numeric.c) is built with strict compile
  options including -std=iso9899:1999, but ext/date is not.
  By the way -std=iso9899:1999 is not only a warning option but also
  changes behavior like MACRO definitions for example INFINITY.
  gcc on Solaris affect this.

[daqo (David Qorashi)]

Adding CFLAGS="-std=iso9899:1999" worked for me.
