* Fri Jun 10 2016 Kevin Kofler <Kevin@tigcc.ticalc.org> - 5.6.1-1
- Update to 5.6.1
- Rebase linux-pri patch (drop the parts already fixed upstream)
- Drop backported chimera-nss-init patch, already applied upstream
- Rebase no-sse2 patch (the core_module.pro change)
* Fri Mar 18 2016 Kevin Kofler <Kevin@tigcc.ticalc.org> - 5.6.0-3
- Build with CONFIG+="webcore_debug v8base_debug"
- Force -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks through CXXFLAGS, Qt flags not used here
This reverts commit 65fd4d09a1.
The tarball is not redistributable, the EVR bump was done wrong (goes
backwards), and the package does not even build (because the uploaded
tarball does not have "-clean" in the file name), so there is absolutely
nothing worth keeping in that commit.
Note that almost all the patch size increase is from the v8_sse2.gyp
file that is automatically generated from v8.gyp using a small script I
wrote, which is also included in the patch.
In the long run, we may end up doing this manually because we will need
to handle V8 specially in the QMake stuff anyway (install it, ensure we
only link the x87 version and let the SSE2 version magically act as a
drop-in replacement, add an rpath), but try like this for now.
* Mon Jan 18 2016 Kevin Kofler <Kevin@tigcc.ticalc.org> - 5.6.0-0.14.beta.nosse2.1
- Build V8 as a shared library on i686 to allow for swappable backends
This is the first prerequisite step towards building both the x87 and
SSE2 backends.
* Revert the change to force the BFD ld, that was not the issue.
* Make some fixes to my blink_sse2 target in blink_platform.gyp:
- add missing dependencies to get the needed feature_defines,
- add missing target defines,
- add -mfpmath=sse in addition to -msse2 because this is
floating-point math and we should definitely not do x87 in
the SSE2-optimized versions of the functions.
I am getting undefined references to symbols that should be defined by
an archive linked with -Wl,--whole-archive from gold, which really
should not happen.
Also the unnecessary hard_dependency in blink_platform.gyp.
That file is not really used in QtWebEngine anyway, but simply
defaulting disable_sse2 to 1 is the right thing. The variable is ignored
on everything other than ia32 (i686) anyway, even on x64 (x86_64). And
setting conditional defaults might not work as expected in gyp.
