Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-10-17 13:39:26 UTC
https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/

Issue: net-libs/libnetconf2-2.1.11 fails tests (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

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).

Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


	  8 - test_server_thread (Failed)
	 11 - test_client_ssh (Failed)
-- Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)
Comment 4 Eli Schwartz 2024-03-25 15:26:21 UTC
Updating to upstream 3.0.8 does NOT help as that version fails to compile instead.

    net-libs/libnetconf2: mark as LTO-unsafe
    
    It fails tests which seems like a promising sign that something
    unpromising happened.
