Description	Flags
The preprocessed output of g++ -E ... ImageVis3D_WindowHandling.cpp	none

Description tom fogal 2009-12-18 18:14:36 UTC

Created attachment 379264 [details]
The preprocessed output of g++ -E ... ImageVis3D_WindowHandling.cpp

Description of problem:

The 'ImageVis3D' program fails to compile; one source file seems to cause the compiler to enter an infinite loop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This is in fedora12, gcc 4.4.2-7.

How reproducible: 100% of the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. checkout imagevis3d: 'svn co https://gforge.sci.utah.edu/svn/imagevis3d'.  There are multiple sub-repositories (externals) that you'll need to confirm the security fingerprint for.
2. Make sure qt-devel is installed and qmake is in your path
3. cd imagevis3d
4. sh Scripts/unix-dev-cfg.sh
5. make
  
Actual results:

Compilation stalls at ImageVis3D_WindowHandling.cpp.  I gave it significant time to get through this before giving up:

   real	   920m33.774s
   user	   2m1.465s
   sys     4m1.191s

Additional info: The preprocessed source output is attached.

Comment 1 tom fogal 2009-12-30 01:56:31 UTC

I apologize.  Step 4 has changed to:

  sh Scripts/gcc-dev-cfg.sh

in latest trunk.

Secondly, I have upgraded to:

  gcc version 4.4.2 20091222 (Red Hat 4.4.2-20) (GCC)

and in this version I can confirm that this is related to the optimization level.  qmake's default configuration ends up adding "-O2" to the build options; if I manually change this to "-O0", the compilation completes in 4 seconds.

This may be a duplicate of 531218.

Please try http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/gcc/4.4.2/24.fc12/

Comment 3 tom fogal 2010-01-14 04:17:54 UTC

No dice.  Using:

   gcc version 4.4.2 20100112 (Red Hat 4.4.2-24) (GCC)

it still hangs on 'ImageVis3D_WindowHandling.cpp'.  "-O0" is still a valid workaround.  I'll also note that "-O1" seems to cause the issue as well.

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2010-01-14 09:24:17 UTC

I guess I'll resurrect the gcc44-max-vartrack-size.patch, but this time with a 50000000 default instead of 5000000.  That way it shouldn't trigger on reasonably sized testcases and will only trigger on these monsters.

Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2010-02-11 16:52:50 UTC

Please try gcc-4.4.3-4.fc12.

Comment 6 tom fogal 2010-03-11 23:18:36 UTC

I apologize for the delay.  Compilation succeeds on a fresh+updated FC12 install (gcc-4.4.3-4).  Thanks!

I do get a:

  note: variable tracking size limit exceeded with debug insns, retrying without

but from comments it sounds like this is by design.
