Description Jonathan Heaney 2004-02-14 18:01:58 UTC
I use -Os in /etc/make.conf, and Gnumeric always produces segfaults when compiled with -Os when moving between cells.  Editing /etc/make.conf to use -O2 then re-rmerging gnumeric results in a binary that works.

Is there any way to force -O to use -O2 in the ebuild.

Thanks.

emerge info? you should always include that in all your bug reports.
Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-15 03:14:16 UTC
and you should also give some more information, like console output, gnumeric version, etc.
Comment 3 Jonathan Heaney 2004-02-15 07:14:58 UTC
The subject of the bug report should have been "Gnumeric segfaults when compiled with -Os"

Gnumeric version 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 both have the same issue.  This has been raised in the forums in the past

When Gnumeric segfaults, it starts bug-buddy, and this is the backtrace/debug output -

I use CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

This can be fixed in one of two ways

1.  Modify CFLAGS to ="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

or 

2. Modify gnumeric ebuild, adding in the line after src_compile:

src_compile() {
        replace-flags "-Os" "-O2"
                                                                                
        econf \

I've tried both, 2. is preferred, both result in a Gnumeric binary that does not segfault when you move out of a cell.
Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-15 09:44:43 UTC
you should debugbuild gnumeric (add 'inherit debug' on top of the ebuild & lower your CFLAGS) to get a useful backtrace.
Comment 5 Jonathan Heaney 2004-02-15 10:27:02 UTC
OK I added debug to the inherit line in the ebuild, commented out my alteratin to force -Os to -O2, changed my CFLAGS to -Os and nothing else, and ran gnumeric through gdb.  Here's the output:

GNU gdb 6.0
....
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
 
(gdb) run

1414    format.c: No such file or directory.

And running without gdb, here's the bug-buddy backtrace-

Comment 6 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-29 09:57:41 UTC
type 'bt' in gdb after the crash to get a full backtrace, from there we can maybe take it upstream.
Comment 7 Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2004-02-29 13:45:27 UTC
It's already reported in upstream: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128834
And happens on my machine too...
Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-01 08:38:42 UTC
see thats what we like to know about

closing UPSTREAM, added -Os filter for the time being.
