Dear Michael and BioC,
thank you for the response and can further report attempts to install
the Biostrings package using
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-08 2008/11/25 on Solaris.
The IRanges packages can now be installed, but the installation of
Biostrings fails with many
messages such as (just the relevant portion, Sorry for the lengthy
details).
azteca:~/compile/Biostrings/src> cc -xc99
-I/homes/mdondrup/bin/R-2.8.1//lib/R/include
-I/opt/SUNWspro/include/ -I/vol/tcl-8.4.13/include
-I/vol/local/include -I/vol/graphics/include
-I/vol/gnu/include
-I"/homes/mdondrup/bin/R-2.8.1/lib/R/library/IRanges/include" -KPIC
-g -c
IRanges_stubs.c -o IRanges_stubs.o
"/homes/mdondrup/bin/R-2.8.1/lib/R/library/IRanges/include/_IRanges_st
ubs.c", line 20: void function
cannot return value
"/homes/mdondrup/bin/R-2.8.1/lib/R/library/IRanges/include/_IRanges_st
ubs.c", line 20: warning:
syntax error: empty declaration
...
Therefore, the problem is still in IRanges in inst/_IRanges_stubs.c
which is not compiled during
installation, but with the subsequent package.
I've got the impression that this file is auto-generated, therefore I
haven't made more changes yet.
There are in fact two issues.
1. cc does not accept anything after a return in void functions, as
with the last probelm
2. cc does not seem to like typecasts with named parameters in type
casts such as:
from the preprocessed code:
fun = ( void ( * ) ( const int * x , int x_nelt , int * order ) )
R_GetCCallable ( "IRanges" , "_"
"get_int_array_order" ) ;
instead it can be like
fun = ( void ( * ) ( const int * , int , int * ) R_GetCCallable (
"IRanges" , "_"
"get_int_array_order" ) ;
This code is generated by the DEFINE_CCALLABLE_STUB in
_IRanges_stubs.c
To make this more portable I tried to define two makros instead as:
#define DEFINE_CCALLABLE_STUB(retT, stubname, Types, Targs, args)
\
retT stubname Targs
\
{
\
static retT (*fun)Targs = NULL;
\
if (fun == NULL)
\
fun = (retT (*)Types) R_GetCCallable("IRanges", "_" #stubname);
\
return fun args;
\
}
#define DEFINE_CCALLABLE_VOID_STUB(retT, stubname, Types, Targs, args)
\
retT stubname Targs
\
{
\
static retT (*fun)Targs = NULL;
\
if (fun == NULL)
\
fun = (retT (*)Types) R_GetCCallable("IRanges", "_" #stubname);
\
fun args;
\
return;
\
}
These could create fuction bodies for void functions and others.
Second, these macros have the
additonal 'Types' argument and the function stub definition is then
like:
/*
* Stubs for callables defined in sort_utils.c
*/
DEFINE_CCALLABLE_VOID_STUB(void, sort_int_array,
(int *, int),
(int *x, int x_nelt),
( x, x_nelt)
);
....
DEFINE_CCALLABLE_STUB(IntAE, new_IntAE,
(int , int , int),
(int buflength, int nelt, int val),
( buflength, nelt, val)
);
Processor output then looks like:
void sort_int_array ( int * x , int x_nelt ) {
static void ( * fun ) ( int * x , int x_nelt ) = 0 ;
if ( fun == 0 )
fun = ( void ( * ) ( int * , int ) ) R_GetCCallable ( "IRanges" ,
"_" "sort_int_array" ) ;
return ;
} ;
which does not cause an error. Could this be changed in the code
generation, otherwise I can change
the declarations with a perl script.
