Dear Maintainer,

The gnat patches applied to gcc-14 to support building with -D_TIME_BITS=64
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 broke numerous tests in the gnat testsuite.

Analysis of the array39 test showed that the ada timespec record was
not correctly layed out.  See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114065

In s-c_time.ads, we have

   type timespec is record
      tv_sec  : time_t range 0 .. OS_Constants.MAX_tv_sec;  --  seconds
      tv_nsec : nsec_t range 0 .. 999_999_999;              --  nanoseconds
   end record

but the struct __timespec64 is defined as follows:

#if __TIMESIZE == 64
# define __timespec64 timespec
#else
#include <endian.h>
/* The glibc Y2038-proof struct __timespec64 structure for a time value.
   To keep things Posix-ish, we keep the nanoseconds field a 32-bit
   signed long, but since the Linux field is a 64-bit signed int, we
   pad our tv_nsec with a 32-bit unnamed bit-field padding.

   As a general rule the Linux kernel is ignoring upper 32 bits of
   tv_nsec field.  */
struct __timespec64
{
  __time64_t tv_sec;         /* Seconds */
# if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
  __int32_t :32;             /* Padding */
  __int32_t tv_nsec;         /* Nanoseconds */
# else
  __int32_t tv_nsec;         /* Nanoseconds */
  __int32_t :32;             /* Padding */
# endif
};
#endif

The nsec_t is currently defined using the size of the tv_nsec in
the __timespec 64 struct  but this ignores the padding on big-endian
targets.

The attached patch fixes this issue.

Regards,
Dave Anglin

this change has some unintended (?) effects for at least 32bit little
endian targets as well.  It changes at least the Provides in
gnat-14-arm-linux-gnueabihf in 14.3.0-4, compared to -3.

That should be fixed. As a work around, I'll apply this patch only for
32bit big-endian targets for now.

now updating the patch for gcc-16.  I see this is not yet forwarded?

Hello.

John, does the attachment fix your issue on hppa?

It is based on commit 46a84dc8cf833237aa442ddaea06feafd1961920 in the
GCC repository, but not pushed yet because it changes the hashed
Provides for libgnat.

If you are using the upstream sources, these are patches 3,4 in
attachment v20 at pr114065.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
gcc-16, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1108322@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
