Issue: games-action/teeworlds-0.7.5-r1 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 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-07-26 09:01:38 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).

    dev-libs/json-parser: new package, add 1.1.0_p20211208
    
    Original version 1.1.0 is from a year 2014, which is quite old. The
    snapshot is from latest commit 531a49062975 ("Add author of #154 to
    AUTHORS") in master branch, which contains (among others) two fixes
    related to strict aliasing. New release is anticipated [1], but it is
    not clear when it will happen, as the ticket is open for 2 years
    already.
    
    It was necessary to apply one patch proposed as PR [2] to upstream,
    which changes pkgconfig file installation path from datadir to libdir.
    
    This library is currently known to be bundled in multiple packages in
    ::gentoo, see the corresponding bugs bellow.

    games-action/teeworlds: EAPI7->8, pass no-strict, enable py3.11
    
    Also adjust deps a bit. May be possible to drop [X] on libglvnd
    but the CMakeLists explicitly requests the legacy version (GLX).
