`pico-blink` Build Error: Undefined symbols for architecture armv6m: "___muldi3" #5

star-light-1 · 2024-04-18T19:23:38Z

When trying to build the pico-blink example on macOS with:

cd swift-embedded-examples/pico-blink
rm -rf .build ; TOOLCHAINS=org.swift.59202404131a ./build.sh

I get the following error:

Is the ___muldi3 symbol not available on armv6m? If not, why is it being used?

@star-light-1 ___muldi3 multiplies two integers. The 100 * N is where multiplication is used in func delay(_ N: Int)

Joannis · 2024-04-26T09:01:23Z

Try using the toolchain from April 3rd, that worked for me.

star-light-1 · 2024-04-26T11:08:42Z

The oldest toolchain I could find in section "Trunk Development (main)" on swift.org/download is April 4, 2024, which for me produces the same error shown above.
Latest toolchain of the 5.10 branch produces:

error: unable to load standard library for target 'armv6m-apple-none-macho'

kubamracek · 2024-04-27T01:47:22Z

I can sort-of reproduce the problem. One issue is that this part of the build script for pico-blink should not be necessary anymore, as the expectation is that the downloadable swift.org toolchain includes a valid libclang_rt.soft_static.a for the CPU arch we're building here (armv6m):

XCODE_RESOURCE_DIR=`env TOOLCHAINS="" xcrun clang -print-resource-dir`
LD_FLAGS+=" $XCODE_RESOURCE_DIR/lib/darwin/macho_embedded/libclang_rt.soft_static.a"

Once I drop this, I get:

The problem is that libclang_rt.soft_static.a is somehow only armv7 and contains no other slices. That will need to be fixed, but I'm not sure how that happens in the first place.

The only workaround I can think of (short of actually removing the multiplication from source code, but sometimes those are really useful 😄) would be to rebuild libclang_rt from LLVM's compiler-rt from source and explicitly build the armv6m slice, and link that instead.

kubamracek · 2024-04-27T01:49:53Z

@star-light-1 can I also ask which Xcode version are you using?

star-light-1 · 2024-04-29T07:50:11Z

This happend using Xcode 15.3 (15E204a)

Bauer312 · 2024-05-05T03:12:33Z

The most recent 5.10 (May 1, 2024) and 6.0 (April 30, 2024) snapshot both still produce the linker warning
ld: warning: ignoring file /<SNIP>/macho_embedded/libclang_rt.soft_static.a, building for free standing-armv6m but attempting to link with file built for macOS-armv7

5.10 fails with the undefined symbol, while 6.0 continues and produces the expected blinky.uf2 output, although not in the location that the README says it will appear. I have a pico w and it appears to reject loading it, but I need to do more testing to see if this is unrelated.

TG-Techie · 2024-06-17T21:10:31Z

Info

This issue is still present, I’m experiencing this on the June-13-2024 (org.swift.59202406131a) toolchain build.
( Xcode 15.2 Build version 15C500b )

I'm working on either a hanky-patch and/or a building libclang_rt.soft_static.a for armv6m (will ofc follow up with any success)

Question

Is there a suggested path or repo or chat-platform to engage contributing to or finding a longer term solution for a bug like this in the toolchain?

(Also hi all 👋)

TG-Techie · 2024-06-17T23:51:01Z

I have a (admittedly poorly maintainable) patch that works for adding armv6m ___muldi3

https://gist.github.com/TG-Techie/5be0cff9457bce50752c69eced81864f

Or....

removing the multiplication from source code, but sometimes those are really useful 😄

TG-Techie · 2024-06-18T00:52:49Z

update / re: @kubamracek 's suggestion of re-buliding a slice for armv6m,

Here is a version of the clang_rt I build from the main trunk of the llvm-project (753498e should be).
libclang_rt.soft_static_armv6m_macho_embedded.a.zip

Usage

I copied the .a into the the Sources/Support directory and then added it as the first argument on this line

swift-embedded-examples/pico-blink/build.sh

Line 38 in 2b93644

    
           $CLANG .build/release/Support.build/{Support.c,crt0.S}.o .build/release/Blinky.build/*.o -target armv6m-apple-none-macho -o $BUILDROOT/blinky $LD_FLAGS

It worked well for the blink test so far 💁‍♂️
(provided you're comfortable downloading it from some nerd's GitHub comment, of course)

Happy Hacking,
~ TG-Techie

@niqt , three follow ups:
a) What version of the toolchain are you running?
b) Would you mind adding ``` ticks to your above post for readability, please?
c) it looks like you may need to install the python requirements.txt in the repo's tool folder based on these lines in the above text:

from macholib import MachO
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'macholib'

niqt · 2024-06-25T19:59:01Z

from macholib import MachO
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'macholib'

Yeah, it was missed python dependencies...

kubamracek · 2024-07-09T04:01:14Z

I'll use this issue to track fixing the Undefined symbols for architecture armv6m: "___muldi3" problem, for other issues please file a separate problem report.

kubamracek · 2024-07-30T18:00:18Z

Just tried the latest downloadable swift.org toolchain (swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2024-07-29-a.xctoolchain) and I no longer see this problem. I think this actually is finally resolved.
