Description Andrew Pitonyak 2008-05-18 20:39:18 UTC
Description of problem:
Using the default OpenOffice.org for 64-Bit Fedora 9, the following simple macro
will not work:

Sub TestError
  Dim i As Integer
  For i = 1 To 2
    Print "Hello"
  Next
End Sub

The problem is that the Next statement generates an error. This macro should
have always worked. If For next loops do not function, then a large percentage
of macros will likely not function.

groan, some optimization problem


void ImpPutDouble( SbxValues* p, double n, BOOL bCoreString )
{
        SbxValues aTmp;
start:
        switch( +p->eType )
        {
...
                case SbxINTEGER:
                        aTmp.pInteger = &p->nInteger; goto direct;
...
                direct:
                        aTmp.eType = SbxDataType( p->eType | SbxBYREF );
                        p = &aTmp; goto start;
...
                case SbxBYREF | SbxINTEGER:
                        *p->pInteger = (INT16) n; break;
...


We have a SbxINTEGER, we change the tmp to SbxBYREF | SbxINTEGER and jump to the
start of the switch but we don't get to the desired case, if I add a simple
printf after p = &aTmp to reference the changed eType then it works

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2008-05-19 09:26:08 UTC
Can I get preprocessed source for the file in question, and command line options
used?  If the arch really ia64, or x86_64?

test-case

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2008-05-19 09:33:23 UTC
this seems to reproduce this for me

g++ -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing test.ii
./a.out
error

g++ -O2 test.ii
./a.out

and no error. This is x86_64 of course, I only ported ia64 a month or two ago
and there are no fedora ia64 arch team builds yet.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2008-05-19 09:33:55 UTC
Does this reproduce for you standalone ?

Comment 6 Andrew Pitonyak 2008-05-19 12:34:24 UTC
This is certainly x86_64...

I found this problem while writing an article for LinuxIdentity magazine about
Important software in Fedora, and I mention it in the magazine. If you have a
speculation on when this will be fixed and pushed to the repositories, I will
mention something like

"The problem was found and fixed by the Fedora team in less than a day, and the
fix should be in place in <a week or so>".

You are moving fast enough that the fix may be in place before the article is
published.

Comment 7 Jakub Jelinek 2008-05-19 13:12:54 UTC
This has been fixed upstream already, though I don't plan a GCC errata right
now, I'd like to wait at least a month to get 4.3.1 in and gather a bunch of
other bugfixes.  I guess you can work around it in OOo by building this source
file with -fstrict-aliasing if you want to errata OOo before a new gcc will land
into dist-f9 buildroots.

Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2008-05-19 13:29:37 UTC
Building OOo with -fstrict-aliasing in general right now is unfortunately
impossible, though of course I can force it on for that particular file. 

We've a likely OOo 2.4.1 update around June the 3rd, I guess that's too soon for
a new gcc ?

Comment 9 Jakub Jelinek 2008-05-29 16:53:00 UTC
Closing as upstream.  Whenever I update gcc in rawhide and/or in Fedora 9, it
will get the fix.
