Thanks German ... I could reproduce it. You found a bug! :-)
Apologies for the bug, and thanks for sticking with us. ;-)
(you can ignore the following, it's for gcc-patches@xxxxxxx)
It's easy to reproduce the bug by simply deleting the gcc/cp directory from a GCC checkout,
then trying to compile with the c,objc languages enabled. It fails with the error above,
because gengtype then reads objc/objc-act.h before c-family/c-common-objc.h.
The problem is in how the list of language-specific gtfiles is produced. It is produced
in configure.ac, which:
* will iterate over all the ${srcdir}/*/config-lang.in;
* will source config-lang.in for all of them, regardless of whether they are enabled or not, and add $gtfiles to the list of gtfiles;
* adds the C language last.
As a consequence, GTFILES is different depending on whether ${srcdir}/gcc/cp/ exists or not. If it exists, usually the cp gtfiles
come before the objc ones (due to alphabetical ordering by the shell, I'd guess ?), and the cp gtfiles contain c-family/c-common-objc.h,
which is then processed before objc/objc-act.h. If it doesn't exist, that doesn't happen, and it stops working. :-(
Here is a patch to fix it. It just moves c-family/c-objc.h at the beginning of the objc gtfiles list, to make it independent of cp's
gtfiles list; with this, I can build c,objc with or without the gcc/cp directory. :-)
Ok to commit ?
Thanks
PS: In my view this fix is a candidate for backporting to 4.6.x; without it, the gcc-objc-4.6.x tarballs are unusable.
