I am on macos and after launching Emacs, I get this libgccjit
error. Is this something that I can ignore for now?

Further, there are lots of compiler warnings from different package, as
I use Emacs. That means the native compilation is definitely working
asynchronously. One observation here is that every time this happens the
CPU goes 99% for a short time.

I am not using ‘gcc’. I have yet to successfully build Emacs with
‘gcc-10’ on macos. I did this to build Emacs:

git clone ...
./autogen.sh
CC=/usr/bin/clang ./configure --with-native-compilation
make -j8 # I have 4 core, hyperthreading enabled system

Probably ‘clang’ and ‘libgccjit’ has a problem working together.

So if you don't use GCC, where and how did you get libgccjit, and what
version of GCC does it belong to?

Hi Pankaj,

this look like an env misconfiguration that prevents libgccjit for
finding the driver.

Could you please report the full error in the
*Async-native-compile-log* buffer?

Also have already you tried invoking "emacs -Q"?

Thanks

  Andrea

The configure script gave error about not finding ‘libgccjit’. So I
installed it using ‘Homebrew’. The version info as reported by brew
command is - ‘libgccjit: stable 10.2.0’.

After installing ‘libgccjit’, the configure script worked and Emacs
compiled without any errors.

I thought there is no ABI issue so went ahead. Are they incompatible?
‘clang’ and ‘libgccjit’.

I don't know, but maybe Andrea does.

I usually launch ‘Emacs.app’ from GUI (Launchpad on macos). But when I
have to pass argument e.g. ‘-Q’ I use command-line. After your above
message I tried ‘emacs -Q’ and it worked without any error.

And you are right, it was environment related problem. Following is the
snippet from ‘*Async-native-compile-log*’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

But now I am puzzled at one more thing. Now I am not getting the error
even when I start from GUI. Does it save the location of ‘libgccjit’
somewhere, once it is found?

AFAIK this configuration should work.

AFAIK no,

I don't know what happened here but I bet has to do with the value of
one of these three env vars [1] and most likely PATH.

I am working with pre-built version of ‘gcc’ and ‘libgccjit’ from
Homebrew. So I tried to set the following environment
variables. Experimented with various permutation combinations of these.

#+begin_src elisp
(add-to-list 'exec-path
             "/usr/local/opt/gcc/bin")
(setenv "PATH" (mapconcat 'identity exec-path ":"))        
(setenv "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
        "/usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/10:/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10")
(setenv "LIBRARY_PATH"
        "/usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/10:/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10")
#end_src

The above are standard location of ‘gcc’ and ’libgccjit’ artifacts.

The exec-path configuration above crashes my Emacs at startup. So I had
to comment that out.


Is there a way in Emacs to get all the environment variables in one go?
I want to compare the vars from two invocations - GUI and CLI. As I
reported earlier that CLI invocation works without any error.


More facts:

The error comes only at the beginning. As you can see in the following
log (*Async-native-compilation-log) that compilation is working fine
later on.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

And when all the compilation is done the error goes away; it does not
appear in further sessions.

One can use the `process-environment' variable. Also might be useful for
you `initial-environment'.

Finally, as you pointed out, PATH env is the root cause. When I start
from GUI the PATH is set to:

     "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

But when I start from CLI, the Bash init files are executed and hence
the PATH is:

    "/Users/pankaj/.sdkman/candidates/kotlin/current/bin:/Users/pankaj/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/current/bin:/Users/pankaj/.sdkman/candidates/gradle/current/bin:/Users/pankaj/.sdkman/candidates/ant/current/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Users/pankaj/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS:/Users/pankaj/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:/Users/pankaj/go/bin:/Users/pankaj/.cargo/bin"

There are lots of things. But the PATH, which we are interested in, is
the location of compiler; and that is "/usr/local/bin". So I hard-coded
PATH in a CLI session:

   export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

And then launched ‘Emacs’ from there. Worked perfectly fine.

So, my question is - is there a way to adjust the ‘initial-environment’
variable? The docstring says that it is inherited from the parent
process. So that makes it kind-of read-only.

Other solution could be to hold-on the compilation till full
‘~/emacs.d/init.el’ (or whichever is the init file) is
evaluated. Because users configure the environment variables during that
process.

But the problem is not when Emacs is run from CLI, it's when it's run
from GUI, right?  Because /usr/local/bin is not in PATH then.

I think I need to do at least one more experiment. Launch ‘emacs’ from a
wrapper script ... launched from GUI.

Wrapper scripts sets PATH and launch ‘emacs’. Let me do it and report in
a while.

I have yet to find a way to set the environment variable PATH in macos
so that the GUI apps find it. It appears that it is not straightforward.

Anyway, this is not a blocker for merging into master.

I’ll update here once I am done with the PATH settings.

This was a couple of weeks ago -- skimming this thread, it's unclear to
me whether there's anything more to do in this bug report.  Did you
resolve this issue?

While this was easy to test on Linux. I have not yet done on MacOS. But
I am 100% sure now that this is environment related issue. I’ll post my
finidngs when done. But this is not a blocker in any way. Workaround is
to launch from commandline if users face the issue.
