I’m also puzzled by the lack of error in CI. I just tried to leverage it to iterate on the problem and resolve the issue you’re seeing, but it wasn’t of any use. Will poke around a little, but also keen to hear from anyone with more GCC5 experience. - Bret From: Laszlo Ersek via groups.io Sent: Tuesday, June 2, 2020 8:48 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; bret@corthon.com Cc: Jian J Wang; Hao A Wu; liming.gao Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v4 09/14] MdeModulePkg: Connect VariablePolicy business logic to VariableServices Hi Bret, this patch causes a build failure with the GCC48 toolchain (actual version: gcc 4.8.5-36 in RHEL7), and also with the GCC5 toolchain (actual version: "Red Hat Cross 6.1.1-2"): On 06/01/20 18:33, Bret Barkelew wrote: > https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugzilla.tianocore.org%2Fshow_bug.cgi%3Fid%3D2522&data=02%7C01%7CBret.Barkelew%40microsoft.com%7C40552c2a4896475ed9da08d8070c6f51%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637267097285334746&sdata=UEd%2FyUeixp5cq2jXwUQ68tIws9pbGBl0m9cpnrijaGc%3D&reserved=0 > > VariablePolicy is an updated interface to > replace VarLock and VarCheckProtocol. > > Add connective code to publish the VariablePolicy protocol > and wire it to either the SMM communication interface > or directly into the VariablePolicyLib business logic. > > Cc: Jian J Wang > Cc: Hao A Wu > Cc: Liming Gao > Cc: Bret Barkelew > Signed-off-by: Bret Barkelew > --- > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c | 53 ++ > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariablePolicySmmDxe.c | 642 ++++++++++++++++++++ > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableSmmRuntimeDxe.c | 14 + > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableRuntimeDxe.inf | 2 + > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableSmm.inf | 3 + > MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableSmmRuntimeDxe.inf | 10 + > 6 files changed, 724 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c b/MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c > index 7d2b6c8e1fad..d404d4763e54 100644 > --- a/MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c > +++ b/MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c > @@ -5,18 +5,34 @@ > Copyright (C) 2013, Red Hat, Inc. > Copyright (c) 2006 - 2019, Intel Corporation.

Now, assuming that "CONST is good", I locally modified the REGISTER_VARIABLE_POLICY typedef, just to see if that would allow the build to complete.

That allowed the builds to complete. Therefore I suggest one of the following: (a) If CONST is not important in the RegisterVariablePolicy() lib class API, then please remove CONST from there (and the implementation(s) of that function). (b) Alternatively, if CONST is preferred in the library, then (b1) please squash the following hunk: > diff --git a/MdeModulePkg/Include/Protocol/VariablePolicy.h b/MdeModulePkg/Include/Protocol/VariablePolicy.h > index 30d6c155ae6a..83b6a999df07 100644 > --- a/MdeModulePkg/Include/Protocol/VariablePolicy.h > +++ b/MdeModulePkg/Include/Protocol/VariablePolicy.h > @@ -102,7 +102,7 @@ EFI_STATUS > typedef > EFI_STATUS > (EFIAPI *REGISTER_VARIABLE_POLICY)( > - IN VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *PolicyEntry > + IN CONST VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *PolicyEntry > ); > > /** into patch "MdeModulePkg: Define the VariablePolicy protocol interface".

I've used (b1)+(b2) locally, and those together allow the builds to complete. Now, I wonder why the GCC / OVMF build(s) in the github.com CI did not report this problem. According to the C99 standard, "6.7.5.3 Function declarators (including prototypes)", paragraph 15: For two function types to be compatible, both shall specify compatible return types. [...] Moreover, the parameter type lists, if both are present, shall agree in the number of parameters and in use of the ellipsis terminator; corresponding parameters shall have compatible types. [...] Furthermore, from "6.7.5.1 Pointer declarators", paragraph 2: For two pointer types to be compatible, both shall be identically qualified and both shall be pointers to compatible types. Yet further, from "6.5.16.1 Simple assignment", paragraph 1: One of the following shall hold: [...] - both operands are pointers to qualified or unqualified versions of compatible types, and the type pointed to by the left has all the qualifiers of the type pointed to by the right; [...] So the thought process is: - "mVariablePolicyProtocol.RegisterVariablePolicy" has type EFI_STATUS (EFIAPI *)( VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *) while a pointer to RegisterVariablePolicy(), from the library, has type EFI_STATUS (EFIAPI *)(const VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *) For the assignment, these need to be compatible, per 6.5.16.1p1. Are they compatible? - Per 6.7.5.1p2, that depends on whether the pointed-to function types are compatible. Are the pointed-to function types compatible? - Per 6.7.5.3p15, that depends on whether (VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *) and (const VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY *) are compatible. Are those pointer types compatible? - They're not, based on 6.7.5.1p2 -- they are not identically qualified. So IMO (according to the language standard), the code should have been flagged by MSVC too; but more importantly, I don't understand why the GCC5 / Ubuntu builds succeeded in CI. Thanks!
