Go 32-bit compilation fails when grumpc run on a 64-bit system

[alanjds]

google#165 opened by @luca76 on 19 Jan 2017

See this error:

  [grumpy] $ make

build/src/grumpy/lib/time_test/module.go:59: constant 3000000000 overflows int
Makefile:212: recipe for target 'build/pkg/linux_386/grumpy/lib/time_test.a' failed
make: *** [build/pkg/linux_386/grumpy/lib/time_test.a] Error 1

How can I fix it?

That's weird. The compiler is emitting NewInt(3000000000) because the ast module produced a Python int here. So 3000000000 fits in an int in Python which suggests the architecture is 64-bit. But when the Go code is compiled, it's saying the number overflows int, so Go seems to be compiling for 32-bit.

Is your environment set up for some cross compilation or something like that?

Yes, I have Go in 32 bit mode and the OS is in 64.

I see. We don't support cross compilation of that kind currently. The basic technical problem is that the Python code generator assumes that a Python int on the host platform can be stored as a native int on the target platform. We would have to add some awareness to the grumpc compiler to support this use case.

Thank you in advance. Now I can close this bug report.

I think it's okay to leave this open. I'm sure it will come up again and supporting cross compilation seamlessly would be nice.

When building the latest master commit of Grumpy (2c8ff4b) for 32-bit Arch Linux (in a chroot, but on a 64-bit host system), I get the following error messages when running make:

This is with Python 2.7.13 and Go 1.9.

@xyproto: I may had fixed that after google#399 got merged here. Can you please try the v0.3.0 version on this repo?

[deep-42-thought]

@alanjds: xyproto is no longer maintaining the package for archlinux on 32-bit - we from archlinux32 are doing this now.
What commit/tag/repository should I try to compile? (I couldn't find a v0.3.0 tag or release, but I'm also not sure into what repository to look).

[alanjds]

Sorry for that. I forgot to upload the tags after forking from Google.

You can try the master. Tests are green here and my Android is compiling nicely on Go 1.10 . Had not tested with 1.11 yet.

You can pip install grumpy-runtime too: https://pypi.org/project/grumpy-runtime/

Thanks for testing.

[xyproto]

Yes, Arch Linux now only officially supports 64-bit x86.

[deep-42-thought]

@alanjds: I'm still not sure where I find that repo of yours, but I can confirm, that grumpy builds when I apply the two patches in google#399
