Bug 8976 – why no optimization for acpid?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2002-10-10 07:21:17 UTC]

In acpid-ebuild, there is a warning
"Do not compile with optimizations"
Anyone knows a reason for this? I tried yesterday to compile with CFLAGS enabled
(just had to add -DVERSION-Parameter from original Makefile-CFLAGS to the CFLAGS).
No problems with it.

So fix it if it is a problem for you.

[Comment 2 Hanno Böck 2002-10-16 04:26:31 UTC]

Now added acpid-1.0.1-r1 as ~x86.
Please report if it works/doesnt work for you.

acpid-1.0.1-r1 (the one with optimisations) does NOT work my system, while
acpid-1.0.1-r0 (without optimisations) works fine. It seems that the warning "Do
not compile with optimizations" was there for a good reason.

I use Gentoo 1.4 on x86, compiled a few days ago, and my CFLAGS are:

CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer
-funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4"

I have created an attachment with my /var/log/acpid and relevant lines from my
/var/log/syslog.

Please change the status of this bug to REOPENED. (I cannot do it.) Recommend
masking or removing of acpid-1.0.1-r1.ebuild, since tracking down this problem
took quite some time and optimisation of the acpid doesn't make much sense since
it isn't used extensively.

Created attachment 6855 [details]
log file for reported problem

Can somebody look into this? I reported the problem 5 months ago and nothing has happened since then.
