Description Daniel Scharrer 2012-04-24 06:09:43 UTC

DevIL's 1.7.8 ./configure script enables SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instructions if
supported by the compiler and unless such instructions are explicitly disabled
by --disable-sse3 etc. There is not run-time check for CPU support when using
these instructions - in fact it adds the -msse3 compiler option.

SSE3 is not universally supported in 32-bit x86 CPUs and using affected
functions such as ilConvertImage() may result in the application being
terminated with the SIGILL signal on such CPUs.

Re-building DevIL without SSE3 support fixes this bug - disabling SSE2 and SSE
should also be considered.

There is also an upstream DevIL bug report at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3520344&group_id=4470&atid=104470

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2012-05-16 14:32:30 UTC

Thanks for the bug report.

I'm currently preparing a fixed build, fixing this by not using SSE3 (x86_64) or any SSE (ix86).
