This does not happen on my notebook with gcc 3.3.1, which I successfully used to compile my kernel, my Qt, my KDE, my glibc and my X, so it appears to be reasonably bug free. Why is Gentoo sticking with 3.2.3? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get psy.tar.gz from above URL (contains psy.c and generated .bb file) 2. run gcov psy.c 3. see gcov abort() Actual Results: gcov aborts without generating psy.c.gcov Expected Results: It should have written a coverage analysis to psy.c.gcov Portage 2.0.49-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.6.0-test4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-pipe -Os" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share /config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/cvs/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://160.45.44.196:81 http://www.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/gent oo.org/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribu tions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts java sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis k de motif opengl ldap cdr -svga -gtk -gnome -alsa -X -qt -cups -xmms gtk2"
I can't reprocude it :-/ gcov creates the file psy.c.gcov here. I noticed strange things happening with people using -Os though... I don't know if that is the problem. $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r6) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ ccache version 2.2 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox autoaddcvs ccache fixpackages" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo http://194.83.57.7/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.linux.no/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 foomaticdb libg++ nls gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang bonobo ggi mysql tcpd libwww ssl perl python imlib motif ldap cdr -3dfx 3dnow aalib alsa apache2 apm -arts avi canna cjk crypt cups dga doc dvd -emacs encode -esd flash gif -gnome gpm gtk gtk2 -java -jack jpeg -kde lirc mad -maildir matroska mbox -mikmod mmx mozilla mpeg -mpi -nas ncurses odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam -pcmcia -pda ppds pdflib png qt quicktime readline samba sdl sse spell svga tcltk tetex tiff truetype usb -voodoo3 wmf -wxWindows X Xaw3d xface xml xml2 xmms xv zlib"
There is one or two gcc3.3.1 bugs that still need fixing.
can we close this bug or is there still something you want to be done for your bug report? thanks in advance, Alex
Go ahead and close this bug. It does not matter anymore.
thanks and close
