[Sbcl-devel] Solaris 10 x86_64 / 1.0.40

[Jim W. <jw...@dr...>]

I've been working on getting SBCL 1.0.40 to build on Solaris 10 /
x86_64, with default *FEATURES*.  Out of the box, the base system builds
and passes all tests, and all contribs build and pass all tests except
for sb-posix and asdf-install, which do neither.

With the patch at:

     http://www.draga.com/~jwise/sbcl/sbcl-1.0.40-solaris10.diff

sb-posix builds and passes all tests, but it's still not quite right,
which keeps asdf-install from building against it.  In particular, it
gets two of the following error:

  ; caught WARNING:
  ;   Asserted type (MOD 1152921504606846973) conflicts with derived type
  ;   (VALUES (INTEGER -1 -1) &OPTIONAL).
  ;   See also:
  ;     The SBCL Manual, Node "Handling of Types"

Now, three things 

a.) from the bit of code quoted above the error, this is occuring in an
    expansion of sb-grovel::c-string-writer, within an expansion of
    sb-grovel::define-c-struct.

b.) given that 1152921504606846973 is 2^60 (a boxed 64-bit long?), while
    x86_64 is LP64 (i.e. INTEGER is 32-bit, natively) this feels like a
    32/64-bit confusion, perhaps an assumption that a pointer can be
    cast into an int.  But my lisp-fu and/or knowledge of sbcl isn't
    good enough to get much farther yet.

c.) sb-posix itself successfully builds, but this error manifests in the
    build of asdf-install

So...

I've put 'building-contrib.asdf-install' from this build at:

     http://www.draga.com/~jwise/sbcl/building-contrib.asdf-install

anyone seen this before?  Any pointers on how to most easily track this
down?

Thanks,
