Debian Patches

Status for ghdl/6.0.0+dfsg3-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
modify-install-paths Patch installation paths for Debian packaging Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
adjust-compile-flags Apply compile flags as required by Debian Upstream has independently changed things so that this patch does not need to
be upstreamed.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
extend-ghdl-manpage Extend ghdl.1 manpage Add the Debian specific ghdl alternatives information to the manpage. Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2026-05-09
skip-unsupported-tests Skip tests for features not built in Debian VITAL is not included in the Debian build and so the test attempting to
include it must be disabled so that they won't count as a failure.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
testsuite-pass-parameters Pass testsuite.sh command line parameters to suite_driver.sh Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> no 2023-07-09
fix-testsuite-stderr-output Fix stderr output of testsuite/suite_driver.sh The testsuite driver script prints an informational message about the number
of test workers it is running on stderr. However, any output on stderr during
the test run is considered a failure by autopkgtest which causes the testsuite
to never complete successfully. This patch changes it to simply print to
stdout instead.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-10-01
gcc-distro-specs Add gcc-distro-specs patch to add %(distro_defaults) like in gcc specs The Debian packages for gcc add %(distro_defaults) to the specs, so add the
same to the @vhdl spec line calling ghdl1 in the gcc backend.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
allow-non-linux-mcode Allow non-Linux x86 architectures for mcode backend A check in configure would make builds on hurd and kfreebsd fail as mcode
would activated due to being on x86, but the part selecting build flags would
not recognize the architecture string. Add recognition of *-gnu with the same
flags as the Linux builds.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
sparc-memmodel-include Add memmodel.h include to gcc ortho-lang-9.c On a SPARC build some includes use a type definition from memmodel.h and will
fail to build if it isn't included.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2023-07-09
avoid-have-backtrace Disable use of backtrace(3) The use of backtrace(3) causes segfaults in grt_save_backtrace() for some
reason. Some tests in the testsuite are affected by this, causing the testsuite
to fail. Disable the detection in src/grt/config/jumps.c for now.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2024-07-29
collect-gcc-options Collect and inject standard options for gcc backend The gcc backend of GHDL does not set any of the standard options for machine
architecture, ABI, etc. when calling the backend compiler unlike other GCC
frontends. This will break on some architectures, when object files are
incompatible with the setup of the linked executable and possibly cause other
subtle problems even if linking succeeds.
.
This patch adds some kludgy code to allow presetting the default options at
compile time and code to add them to the command line for the backend call.
The other half is code in debian/rules to collect the default options from the
C compiler and pass them to the configure script.		 Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> no 2024-08-28
1010-national-encoding.patch avoid old ISO-8859 encodings in vhdl sources (lintian suggestion)
Plain ASCII is the safest encoding for source code in VHDL.
If the specific copyright character is desired in CopyRightNotice,
the modern UTF-8 encoding is probably more appropriate.

===================================================================		 Nicolas Boulenguez <nicolas@debian.org> yes 2026-04-18
drop-synopsys-files Remove filtered Synopsys files from Makefiles and disable affected tests Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org> not-needed 2026-05-19
support-SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH Allow overriding Split_Now_Utc time with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
If the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is found, it will be
interpreted according to the specification[1] to configure a fixed time
value that every call to Split_Now_Utc will return. This allows builds
(particularly of libraries, including the standard and IEEE libraries)
to become reproducible.
