Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Jim Dunn]

When building mozilla on cement using gcc 2.95.2 (/builds/local/bin)
I am crashing with the following error.  I opened a bug against gcc
as suggested.

./../dist/include/nsCOMPtr.h:556: Internal compiler error in `output_die', at
dwarf2out.c:5426
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport> for instructions.
gmake: *** [nsViewSourceHTML.o] Error 1

Workaround: compile this one source file WITHOUT the -g compiler option
When I hit this snag I just did it by hand and then restarted the make.

[Jim Dunn]

Cool, that works, thanks... continuing (but leaving this open
because I need to check in a fix for this eventually).

Adding crash keyword.

I have built and tested a binary compiled by gcc with --disable-debug .  

Would it be acceptable to change configure.in to make this the default on IRIX 
if GNU_CC=1 ?

r=leaf, cc'ing cls for sr

Turning off debug info for all versions of gcc seems like overkill to me.  Has
anyone tried using the latest compiler in that series, gcc 2.95.3?

Comment 8

[John Vandenberg]

gcc 2.95.3 is not available from the freeware.sgi.com site yet, but your point 
is valid.  I have added some version checking which only inhibits -g on 2.95.0-
2 .  This is probably not the best way to perform the version check, and there 
may be a good reason to put this in a more generic location.

Comment 10

[John Vandenberg]

I have now tested gcc 2.95.1 - 2.95.3 , and they all output a similar message, 
indicating instead ../../dist/include/nsBufferHandle.h:353

sr=cls.  Let's get this in for 0.9.1
