[q-lang-users] [Fwd: Pure Programming Langauge: Compile bugs on Mac OS X]

[Albert G. <Dr....@t-...>]

Hi John,

thanks for reporting. I'm forwarding this to the list so that maybe Ryan
Schmidt can have a look at it, he's already working on a MacOS port of
Pure for http://www.macports.org/.

Greetings,
Albert

Dear Albert,

I downloaded your new Pure programming language release this morning
when I saw it linked on Reddit. I have to say it looks very
interesting! I was particularly intrigued by the use of LLVM, having
studied Compiler Design in this my final year of university (Computer
Science, Linguistics and French).

I downloaded the tar-ball from the SourceForge page, and downloaded
and installed LLVM, all on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 system.
Unfortunately, I get some errors when I run "make":

g++ -g -Wall `llvm-config --cppflags`   -c -o expr.o expr.cc
g++ -g -Wall `llvm-config --cppflags`   -c -o interpreter.o
interpreter.cc
interpreter.cc: In member function ‘expr* interpreter::mkwhen_expr
(expr*, rulel*)’:
interpreter.cc:1325: error: no match for ‘operator!=’ in ‘it !=
std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::rend() [with _Tp = rule, _Alloc =
std::allocator<rule>]()’
interpreter.cc: In member function ‘llvm::Function*
interpreter::declare_extern(std::string, std::string, const
std::list<std::string, std::allocator<std::string> >&, bool, void*,
std::string)’:

argument 2 to ‘static llvm::ConstantInt* llvm::ConstantInt::get(const
llvm::Type*, uint64_t, bool)’

interpreter.cc: In member function ‘llvm::Value* interpreter::fbox

(int32_t, uint8_t, bool)’:
interpreter.cc:3494: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
make: *** [interpreter.o] Error 1

I decided to try out the version from the SVN repository. With it, I
get the following errors:
g++ -g -Wall `llvm-config --cppflags`   -c -o expr.o expr.cc
bison -v -o parser.cc parser.yy
g++ -g -Wall `llvm-config --cppflags`   -c -o interpreter.o

interpreter.cc: In member function ‘void interpreter::compile(expr)’:
interpreter.cc:609: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric
constant
... many hundreds of lines of errors ...
interpreter.cc:2959: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

I hope this feedback will be of some use to you.

Yours sincerely,
John Lunney
