Bug 148781 – StepMania 3.9 Loops Songs Forever if using GCC 4 with >= -O2 optimizations

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Charles Christie 2006-09-23 07:46:56 UTC]

The ebuild needs a patch that forces -O1 in StepMania 3.9 using GCC 4.*

I've tested it and confirmed that it works with -O1 but not with anything higher.

no, figure out the real bug, dont force flags

[Comment 2 Charles Christie 2006-09-23 16:13:24 UTC]

I'm no programmer, I can't find bugs. I did, however, inform the StepMania developers.

I have taken a closer look at what compiler options are included in -O2. This is what I found.

@Charles: How did you inform them? I did not find a bugtracker, nor did I find a post from you on the stepmania forums.

I am running the latest stepmania-cvs snapshot and this problem isn't present.

a patch to fix mostly all of the strict alias issues

StepMania-CVS != StepMania 3.9. Some people prefer 3.9 over 4.0 due to theme and song compatibility issues. Oh, and someone made a real patch for this...

[Comment 8 UncleOwen 2006-11-28 08:49:13 UTC]

Great. The patch works :)

[Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-11-29 14:54:04 UTC]

This patch is applied atop all the others, correct?

[Comment 10 UncleOwen 2006-12-01 11:35:01 UTC]

Correct.

[Comment 11 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-12-12 09:50:08 UTC]

FIXED in CVS...
