           Summary: GDC generates dozens of errors of the form "indirect jmp
                    without `*'" when compiling anything at all
           Product: DGCC aka GDC
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: glue layer
        AssignedTo: dvdfrdmn@users.sf.net
        ReportedBy: aronnax@umd.edu


When I compile any D program using GDC, the compiler spits out dozens of the following messages: /var/folders/gt/gtRt+RQ6H9ermdXw0qjcU++++TI/-Tmp-//ccqqJgKN.s:4579:indirect jmp without `*'

However, the compiler is still exiting cleanly and generating runnable code.

I am using dgcc(subversion)-gcc4.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2.

This is a known issue when using FSF GCC on Darwin, when using Apple's GCC it doesn't issue the warnings so there might be a patch to bring over from it...

This is a known issue due to cctools version mismatch, that happens also when compiling other gcc compilers (g95, gpc), basically the sintax for the indirect jump was changed (google "indirect jmp without `*' cctools).

The clean solution would be to install the correct version of cctools and use
it when compiling gdc.
On the other hand it is just a warning, and you should be able to safely ignore
it.

Anyway I guess this bug is not a gdc bug,but a note about it in the installation instruction for gdc would be nice.

I'm not a guru on gcc internals, so what I would really need is explicit instructions (perhaps in the INSTALL file) for what version of gcc to download and how to compile dgcc in order to fix this problem.

Apple GCC is no longer supported.  Closing as won't fix.
