Issue: app-emulation/vice-3.6.1 fails to compile (lto).
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: lto_tinderbox)

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

Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-07-26 09:00:19 UTC
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).

    app-emulation/vice: add 3.7
    
    ebuild changes:
    - drop IUSE=cpuhistory, new upstream default is enabled and just
      going with that (no deps, and impact should be minimal)
    - drop IUSE=jpeg, upstream removed support
    - drop --disable-static QA, not an issue with current portage and
      just harmless noise if still using an older one
    - replace deprecated atk dep
    - adjust for renamed configure options
    (may be some oversights given a lot of noise in build system changes).
    
    Upstream disabled catweasel/parsid/ssi2001 by default leaving only
    hardsid enabled out of this group. Given rather obscure, left disabled
    for now with the exception of parsid enabled with USE=parport. If
    someone use/know these and feel may make sense to enable with USE=pci,
    parport, or their own USE please file a bug.
    
    wrt bug #834359, unfortunately still broken and upstream instead
    added an explicit check:
        configure: error: ffmpeg version is not compatible. Use 4.x
    So keeping the <ffmpeg-5 dep, albeit it remains not overly important
    (could be removed/masked) and is off by default, shouldn't be a worry
    if ffmpeg-5 is to be unmasked.
    
    wrt bug #854537, odr issues seem fixed upstream
