Bug 115724 – XDTV fails to compile with Hardened GCC 3.4.4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Christopher Hogan 2005-12-15 18:43:54 UTC]

XDTV fails to compile with Hardened GCC 3.4.4. It compiled fine with Hardened
GCC 3.3.6. I used the slow (emerge -e) method to upgrade. It compiles fine using
the i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopie profile, but not the
i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 profile.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xdtv
2.
3.

Actual Results:

[Comment 1 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2005-12-27 17:20:23 UTC]

Hardened: some help on this one? :)

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-12-28 13:24:35 UTC]

read the source code and the answer is pretty obvious ...

src/memcpy.c:sse_copie() {
 __asm__ ( ... : : :  ... "ebx" ... )
}

you cant clobber ebx when building as PIC

rewrite the code to not clobber ebx, or hide ebx somewhere (say on the stack) as this bit of code looks to utilize all 6 x86 registers

although the code could use some touchups in general ... the first three lines look pointless when you could declare the input list to take care of that ...

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-12-29 16:10:27 UTC]

I'll contact upstream and ask them if they can fix it.

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-12-30 02:59:30 UTC]

I've informed upstream and they'll take care of that for 2.3.0 due to end of january.
In the mean time you probably need to disable mmx useflag for that package.

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-01-08 04:25:34 UTC]

Reopening, as I have put a patch in tree from upstream, can someone test it?

[Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-01-29 22:50:39 UTC]

Both 2.2.0-r2 and 2.3.0 are in tree, please test and reopen if it's still an issue.

I just tried to emerge xdtv 2.3.2 and it failed this way (with and without mmx USE flag):
