In Xcode 4.2, the choices are: 1) Apple LLVM 3.0, and 2) LLVM gcc 4.2
#2 seems to work okay...

hi Sean,
gcc is still there... but is not the default anymore :) also... I don't know how much time they are going to maintain it... and how much that will affect us :(
best, Esteban

so, that means that at some point we should start investigating the problem why it doesn't works when compiled using llvm? i expecting a great adventure ahead :)

Not with a fresh install of Xcode 4.2! See http://ask.metafilter.com/200231/How-to-install-gcc-42-on-a-macbook-with-Xco...
I was able to get it and fix Xcode: 1) install via Mac Ports: "sudo port install apple-gcc42" 2) Follow http://stackoverflow.com/a/8593831/424245 to get it to appear in Xcode, the last two steps will probably look like: a) sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 b) sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/g++-apple-4.2 /Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2

At the Apple Developer conference in 2009 the nice Apple LLVM folks told me, can we have a "small" code sample that shows the problem... Fails on the old interpreter from that era, you should start with that, you don't actually need to step "too much" in order to get it to die btw.

Hi:
Most of the things you'll find are undefined behavior in C.
I posted at least one issue to the list (I think it had to do with overflow in one of the arithmetic primitives, multiplication or so).
My strategy to fix these things for the RoarVM was to use a bytecode trace, output to a file. And you have to make sure that you got as few as possible non-determinism. For that I disabled preemptive scheduling completely.
Afterwards I had two VMs, one compiled with GCC, and one with Clang. And then fixed the issues as they popped up.
Takes a bit, but it is possible. The trace usually points at the bytecodes that behave incorrectly.
Hope that helps. Stefan

Indeed that was in interesting catch. The thread is here: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2011-July/008913.html
It was added to an existing Mantis issue at: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6987
And a fix was hopefully applied here:
Name: VMMaker-dtl.245 Author: dtl Time: 2 August 2011, 7:11:17.088 am Ancestors: VMMaker-dtl.244
VMMaker 4.7.2
Reference http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2011-August/009006.html Fix NewObjectMemory>>newObjectHash to use shiftForWord rather than bytesPerWord (check to ensure corresponding fix in oscog).
Reference Mantis 6987: signed32BitValueOf:, signed64BitValueOf: etc. broken Discussion at http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2011-July/008905.html
Fix #signed32BitValueOf: and #signed64BitValueOf: which are reported broken for some optimizing C compilers. Cast to unsigned integer to prevent undefined behavior on arithmetic overflow.
Add InterpreterPrimitivesTest to provide some coverage of #signed64BitValueOf:
Follow up required - Test to verify fix on problematic compilers. Merge with oscog.
It seems quite likely that other problems like this exist in the VM, particularly in the slang generated code that tends to be a bit casual when it come to type declarations.
If porting to LLVM helps flush out some more issues like this, that would be a good thing :)

Our experience shows that an update from Snow Leopard to Lion seems to delete the old gcc-4.2 binaries. You might want to add that detail.
However, while I can't check it, the binaries might not have been deleted but just moved out of the search path, see: http://superuser.com/questions/313107/does-updating-to-os-x-lion-delete-gcc
Best regards Stefan

Thanks, I updated the post.
