Description tka 2013-11-03 14:53:05 UTC
On my x86 system, trying to build x264-0.0.20130912 with gcc-4.8.1-r1 fails with "error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints." However, gcc-4.7.3-r1 builds x264 without error.

On my amd64 system, gcc-4.8.1-r1 buils x264 without error. Thus, the problem seems to be x86 specific.

Patch register spilling mvc_max when x264_ultrahardened is defined

Try to compile with the attached patch and adding -Dx264_ultrahardened to your CFLAGS then please do test the library by encoding and deconding a video and checking no artifacts are shown. If it works we can try to send it to upstream.

It builds fine with x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.8.2-vanilla, however.
Comment 5 Mark Wright gentoo-dev 2014-03-23 00:31:49 UTC
It would help if you could please run this test and report the results:
Add this line to the file /etc/portage/package.env (creating the file
if it does not exist):

media-libs/x264 Os-fomit-frame-pointer-cflags

Then create the file /etc/portage/env/Os-fomit-frame-pointer-cflags with contents:

CFLAGS="-Os -falign-functions -falign-jumps -falign-loops -falign-labels -freorder-blocks -freorder-blocks-and-partition -ftree-vect-loop-version -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector -nopie -pipe"                                                     
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Comment 6 Hector Martin 2014-03-23 01:23:23 UTC
Yup, those CFLAGS make it build successfully.
Comment 7 Hector Martin 2014-03-23 01:25:20 UTC
It's worth noting that I have ABI_X86="32 64" for this package, so I was probably hitting the problem on the 32-bit build, not the 64-bit build (thus it would be the same report as tka).
Comment 8 tka 2014-03-23 11:15:21 UTC
> CFLAGS="-Os -falign-functions -falign-jumps -falign-loops -falign-labels
> -freorder-blocks -freorder-blocks-and-partition -ftree-vect-loop-version
> -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector -nopie -pipe"       
> 
> CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

With these flags, gcc-4.8.2 compiles x264-0.0.20140308 without error.

The only issue is:

 * QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations
 *  Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
 *  work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security
 *  risk.  On some architectures, the code may not even function
 *  properly, if at all.
 *  For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/pic-fix-guide.xml
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 * TEXTREL usr/lib/libx264.so.142
Comment 9 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2014-06-01 14:03:50 UTC
On x86 Hardened the asm code should be disable.
In the build log it say it is enable.
So is the disable asm check working or not?
When building the x86 part on amd64 multilib the asm code should
be disable.
Comment 10 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2014-06-01 14:36:58 UTC
Have added the pic use flag for amd64 on hardened profile.
Can some one test with newest x264 to see if works?
Comment 11 Hongjiu Zhang 2014-06-04 12:25:18 UTC
I just tested and it works.

Actually, I actually have PIC enabled manually before you set it up, but that still did not work last year when this bug is reported. Is there any other stuff you have changed? I see nothing in ChangeLog but the hardened package.use change.
Comment 12 Luke-Jr 2014-07-24 19:03:24 UTC
I also get this on x86 non-hardened...

Comment 14 Victor Mataré 2015-06-24 13:30:26 UTC
Could somebody change the title of this bug so it shows that the problem is not limited to 0.0.20130912:

I am also experiencing this issue when building media-libs/x264-0.0.20140308 for x86 (32-bit) when CFLAGS includes -fno-omit-frame-pointer.  To reiterate, x264 builds for amd64 with and without -fno-omit-frame-pointer, but building for x86 fails unless -fno-omit-frame-pointer is absent.

I am using GCC 4.9.3 with CFLAGS="-march=native -ggdb -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer".

gcc-4.9.3
=media-libs/x264-0.0.20140308::gentoo

if compile using CFLAGS="-g -ggdb -O0 -pipe" I get the same error
if CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe" it compiles fine, just few warnings.

is this still valid with x264-0.0.20160712?

Yes, the same happens for media-libs/x264-0.0.20160712 when ABI_X86 has "32": 'asm' operand has impossible constraints.

Creating special package.env as described in comment #5 helps, but I has less falgs in CFLAGS, only those:

CFLAGS="-march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector"

After that x264 compiles fine with only QA notice about runtime text relocations.

Add, gcc version is 4.9.4
