Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-08-01 08:23:28 UTC
https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/

Issue: games-action/blackvoxel-2.50 fails to compile (lto).
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: guru_tinderbox)

NOTE:
This machine uses lto with CFLAGS=-flto -Werror=odr -Werror=lto-type-mismatch -Werror=strict-aliasing

Here is a bit of explanation:

-Werror=lto-type-mismatch:
User to find possible runtime issues in packages. It likely means the package is unsafe to build & use with LTO.
For projects using the same identifier but with different types across different files, they must be fixed to be consistent across the codebase.

-Werror=odr:
Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO. C++ code must comply with the One Definition Rule (ODR) - see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/definition#One_Definition_Rule.

-Werror=strict-aliasing:
Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO.

Workarounds:
- If upstream is friendly and still active, file a bug upstream. For emulators, codecs, games, or multimedia packages, it may be worth just applying a workaround instead, as upstreams sometimes aren't receptive to these bugs (VALID FOR ALL).
- Use the new 'filter-lto' from flag-o-matic.eclass as it's likely to be unsafe with LTO (VALID FOR lto-type-mismatch - odr).
- Fix it yourself if interested, of course (VALID FOR ALL).
- Append-flags -fno-strict-aliasing (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
- Use memcpy() but a union is sometimes suitable too (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
- -fstrict-aliasing is implied by -O2, so this must be addressed in some form (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).

Hi, do you still have this issue? 
The game compiles just fine on my end.

Looks like it was fixed upstream by https://github.com/Blackvoxel/Blackvoxel/commit/f891808f14458691933301058daa6b7f8f994a53. That patch is not in a tag though, so it needs to be backported.

You'll only hit this if using -Werror=x for LTO safety per https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/LTO.

Alright. I will be back porting it later today.
Comment 5 Abdul 2024-10-21 21:10:54 UTC
I got it all working, but one of the patches succeeds with fuzz 1. Is that acceptable?
Comment 6 Abdul 2024-10-21 21:39:39 UTC
Alright, I finally fixed it. 
Will be sending the patch shortly.
Comment 7 Abdul 2024-10-22 00:18:36 UTC
I sent the patch
