Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-08-02 15:04:24 UTC

Issue: gui-apps/eww-0.3.0 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).

Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-08-03 06:52:48 UTC
it happens on non-lto as well
Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-10-18 08:21:35 UTC
guru_ci has reproduced this issue with version 0.4.0 - Updating summary.
Comment 4 Pascal Jäger 2022-12-04 21:23:29 UTC
This commit will fix this: https://github.com/gentoo/guru/commit/a25082b184e7867c4fffaee69e22996dce1a8ef1

This is because the old ebuild does not require rust[nightly] USE-flag, yet eww needs that to compile. 

Once we drop 0.4.0 this bug should be closed.

    * improve how features are enable using cargo.eclass
    * fix SRC_URI 0.5.0
    * improving src_unpack (not sure is really need but just to be safe)
    * closing old bug of 0.4.0 since was drop
