Bugzilla Bug 112741

-fomit-frame-pointer breaks sci-libs/cln-1.1.10, and probably 1.1.9 too. I'm
not
sure for 1.1.9 as I get the same segmentation fault as with 1.1.10, but I
haven't tried removing all my flags one by one for 1.1.9 like I have done for
1.1.10 (cln takes one heck of a long time to compile on my machines).

Here are the flags that I have confirmed work for cln-1.1.10.
CFLAGS : -march=athlon-xp and -march=pentium4, -pipe (not a real CFLAG, but it
works), -Os, -fno-ident, -fforce-addr, -ftracer, -fweb, -falign-functions=4 and
-falign-functions=64, -ffast-math
CXXFLAGS : -fvisibility-inlines-hidden, -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
LDFLAGS : -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add -fomit-frame-pointer to your CFLAGS list
2. emerge sci-libs/cln-1.1.10
3. emerge for example qalculate-gtk if necessary, and run it

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault.

Expected Results:  
-fomit-frame-pointer should be added to the list of filtered flags in
src_compile().

emerge info for one of my 2 machines (the other one is a P4M laptop and differs
only in -march=pentium4 and -falign-functions=4 ; both behave the same
regarding
this error) :

Although I am testing on amd64, I have a hard time reproducing the bug. Could
you check with a more reasonable set of CFLAGS (-O2 -pipe -march=athlon-xp
-fomit-frame-pointer could be a good start).

I don't believe this is a critical bug. I cannot reproduce your issue here, but 
I have much more modest CFLAGS and am testing on amd64. Can anyone on x86 
please test this with -fomit-frame-pointer and more modest CFLAGS please test. 

I just compiled cln on my P4 using gcc-3.4.4-r1 and  
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-ident".  
  
qalculate-gtk works just fine with it and I haven't been able to reproduce   
any segfaulting.  

Sorry guys, I may not have been specific enough last time, plus I did make a
error in my tests.

I wasn't clear in telling you that I tested with minimal CFLAGS, as well as with
the whole list of those you see in my emerge info. And I got segfaults in both
cases when -fomit-frame-pointer was present. So I checked this again today, and
it appears I used -Os by mistake in some (at least) of my minimal CFLAGS tests.

I have thus redone my tests (only on the P4-M right now, I will try and do it on
the Athlon XP as soon as possible). The result is that -fomit-frame-pointer does
brake cln, but only when combined with -Os. So :
-Os -fomit-frame-pointer -> segfault
-0s -> OK
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -> OK

I'm not sure if the eutils allow easy filtering of a combination of CFLAGS, so I
suppose that if it's too complicated (or not portage compliant) replacing -Os
with -O2 will be better than stripping -fomit-frame-pointer.

Can anybody else confirm this ?

This package seems to be very sensitive to CFLAGS, it is now replacing -Os with 
-O2 as I think that is probably the safest thing to do.
