Since using gcc version 6, firebird 2.5.7 won't emerge any more. Beside many, many warnings when compiling (which may possibly be ignored), emerge fails with: make[3]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' rm -f empty.fdb ../gen/firebird/bin/create_db empty.fdb invalid request BLR at offset 38 -Too many Contexts of Relation/Procedure/Views.

Setting the "debug" USE flag (which, to my knowledge, is the Gentoo translation of this), leads just to another error message: make[3]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' rm -f empty.fdb ../gen/firebird/bin/create_db empty.fdb make[2]: *** [../gen/Makefile.refDatabases:68: empty.fdb] Aborted make[2]: *** Deleting file 'empty.fdb' make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make[1]: *** [Makefile:275: empty_db] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make: *** [Makefile:6: firebird] Error 2 * ERROR: dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed So it seems that just the compiled "firebird/bin/create_db" cannot create (an obviously empty database?) "empty.fdb" (for whatever this may be needful). Since emerge aborts, I cannot check if the server itself would run (probably it would, I guess). With GCC < 6, there were no problems at all.

I've hit the same problem on gcc version 6.4.0 (Gentoo Hardened 6.4.0 p1.0). It is well known that Firebird has problems building with GCC 6 ( http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5099 ). I was able to make it build again by appending "-flifetime-dse=1 -fno-sized-deallocation -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks" to CXXFLAGS, taken from the above upstream bug, and also adding exception specifiers to "new" operators that return NULL. Some of these CXXFLAGS might technically not be needed for this Firebird version but I think it is better to play safe here than audit the entire code. Patch against the current Portage tree is attached (will probably need to be made conditional on the compiler version). BTW. Existing "firebird-2.5.7.27050.0-gcc6.patch" patch was missing a trailing newline.

Imo the real fix is to get rid of firebird-2*.
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #8) > Imo the real fix is to get rid of firebird-2*. Firebird 3 have incompatible changes so it can't be used as a drop-in replacement for 2.5. That's why the upstream keeps 2.5 maintained, too.
(In reply to Maciej S. Szmigiero from comment #9) > That's why the upstream keeps 2.5 maintained, too. That's fine; but we don't have to, if they aren't able to fix it with GCC-6.

The package builds with GCC-6 with CXXFLAGS suggested in the upstream bug report. Note that their trunk (3.x) also seems to have the same problem (it might build fine but looking at what these flags do and why they are needed it might not work correctly without them). Due to impossibility to replace 2.5 with 3.0 without reworking things like stored procedures in databases NAK for the removal of 2.5 from the tree.
BTW, emerge firebird 3.0.2 *does* work with GCC 6, but there are other issues which would justify a separate bug report: missing firebird.msg and employee.fdb after install; the (fbsql/libfbclient.so) client needs absurd write (!) access to /etc/firebird/databases.conf and /var/log/firebird/firebird.log even if the server is on another machine; the logrotate conf misses su parameter; some file/dir permissions are wrong; and so on. Finally I got it to work, though. But that's only the "emerge" side. As posted in the previous comment, this won't fix the database internal issues.
CCing dev-ada/gps-bin maintainer, which is the only reverse-dependency of firebird-2 in tree.
Same bug, but my error looks like: make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make -f ../gen/Makefile.refDatabases empty_db make[2]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make -f ../gen/Makefile.static.createdb make[3]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[3]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' rm -f empty.fdb ../gen/firebird/bin/create_db empty.fdb make[2]: *** [../gen/Makefile.refDatabases:68: empty.fdb] Segmentation fault make[2]: *** Deleting file 'empty.fdb' make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make[1]: *** [Makefile:275: empty_db] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/firebird-2.5.7.27050.0/work/Firebird-2.5.7.27050-0/gen' make: *** [Makefile:6: firebird] Error 2

From office POV firebird-2 is *done*, since LibreOffice has moved on to 3. Anyone else should too. What it really needs, to serve as more than a sorry libreoffice revdep, is a designated maintainer (who is prepared to fix a lot of stuff upstream).
