Bug 170833 – Fix 32bit Windows build by giving correct parameters to MASM

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Bill Ming]

The issue is pretty much like https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/194434/webkit.
Win32 build (not Wincairo) is failing due to giving ml.exe too many unsupported parameters.

A patch is on the way.

Seems like the failure on mac-wk2 is not relevant.

Perhaps it'd be better to find a way to remove the flags that its appending that aren't relevant?

> Source/JavaScriptCore/CMakeLists.txt:1202
> +        COMMAND ml ${LLINT_MASM_FLAGS} ${DERIVED_SOURCES_JAVASCRIPTCORE_DIR}/LowLevelInterpreterWin.obj ${DERIVED_SOURCES_JAVASCRIPTCORE_DIR}/LowLevelInterpreterWin.asm

ml is 32-bit only. Its ml64 for 64-bit so this command is wrong.

[Bill Ming]

Indeed. I will fix it

[Don Olmstead]

Okay so I looked into things a bit more since I'm also hitting this when using clang-cl for building WinCairo.

It really looks like a larger issue with how WebKit is using CMake that in this case is hitting an issue with ml failing when you give it too many unsupported parameters.

I looked at the ninja.build file and saw the FLAGS being sent to it included stuff like the block of /wd's in Source/cmake/OptionsWin.cmake.

If it sees an add_definitions and its a compile option like /wd's then those end up on the flags. If you use add_compile_options it also ends up on the flags.

However you can make something like add_compile_options conditional. Doing the following makes it so those warnings don't end up on the FLAGS in the call to the assembler.

    set(VS_WARNINGS
        /wd4018 /wd4068 /wd4099 /wd4100 /wd4127 /wd4138 /wd4146 /wd4180 /wd4189
        /wd4201 /wd4206 /wd4244 /wd4251 /wd4267 /wd4275 /wd4288 /wd4291 /wd4305
        /wd4309 /wd4344 /wd4355 /wd4389 /wd4396 /wd4456 /wd4457 /wd4458 /wd4459
        /wd4481 /wd4503 /wd4505 /wd4510 /wd4512 /wd4530 /wd4610 /wd4611 /wd4646
        /wd4702 /wd4706 /wd4722 /wd4800 /wd4819 /wd4951 /wd4952 /wd4996 /wd6011
        /wd6031 /wd6211 /wd6246 /wd6255 /wd6387
    )

    add_compile_options(
        "$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:C>:${VS_WARNINGS}>"
        "$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CXX>:${VS_WARNINGS}>"
    )

Perhaps this is a better way to approach the problem?

Yeah, /wd is something break the build. but maybe we should not pass other cl flags to the ml.

I agree its just quite a bit more surgery to get right.
