Bug 22683 – SDL-1.2.5-r1 fails to compile under GCC 3.3

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 21808
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Cliff L. Biffle 2003-06-12 09:58:01 UTC]

SDL-1.2.5 (from the media-libs/libsdl ebuild) fails to compile on my system after an 
upgrade to GCC 3.3.  The problem is easily resolved, and appears to be a change in 
how GCC handles multiline string literals. 
 
The specifics: the x86 asm stretch routine is written as a three-line string literal 
__asm__ declaration.  GCC croaks on this.  Flattening it to one line works great. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to gcc 3.3. 
2. `emerge libsdl` 
3. Profit! 
Actual Results:  
Parse error, unterminated string constant. 

Expected Results:  
...worked? :-)  I'm so used to everything in Gentoo 'Just Work'-ing. 

Gentoo 1.4_rc4 
GCC 3.3, from the ebuild 
emerge sync'd yesterday.

Patch; fixes the build for me.

This patch simply condenses the asm call to a single line.  This fixes the
build under GCC 3.3 for me.
