Hello,

This message means that the compiler itself crashed. You could try with another compiler version and report the bug to your distribution as stated in the crash message

Posted: **01 Dec 2005 04:34**

I have a similar problem on RedHat 9 with gcc 3.2.2. Note that the error occurs in the same function, but that the thing that actually causes the compiler to fail is in a different place. I reported this same problem for 0.8.4-test2. I know that the error is probably in gcc, but since it seems to affecting multiple versions and multiple distributions, perhaps VLC should work around it...

Code: Select all

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../..   -DSYS_LINUX -I../../include `top_builddir="../.." ../../vlc-config --cflags builtin i420_rgb_mmx` -Wsign-compare -Wall  -pipe -MT libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.Tpo" -c -o libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.o `test -f 'i420_rgb16.c' || echo './'`i420_rgb16.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.Tpo" ".deps/libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/libi420_rgb_mmx_a-i420_rgb16.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

I can also compile 0.8.2 without trouble. Yichi, can you compile 0.8.4 release?

No offense but gcc 3.2.2 is not very young. Try gcc 3.4.x or gcc 4.0.x

i compiled vlc-0.8.4 successfully in my fedora 4 box.
gcc4.0 and with all needed '-devel' rpm package installed.

Posted: **17 Dec 2005 19:03**

Is there a workaround for this? Can someone recommend a previous version of i420_rgb16.c that is known to work with GCC 3.3.1? I can maybe selectively undo whatever changes upset the compiler. It is not clear just by looking at the source code as to what did it since the error is reported at the closing brace of the I420_RGB32__i420_rgb_mmx function, line 578.

I have the same problem with
gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)

I am using PCLinuxOS 0.92 updated from PASS server as the platform. I tried upgrading GCC from Mandrake source RPMs but this had a domino effect on the rest of the system. Package after package after package needed recompiling until I was looking at a clean re-install and a hosed nvidia driver.

Using the very latest and greatest version of GCC is an option for everyone, especially not on a server (http mode) which don't get their OS's updated so often or so easily.

Edited...
OK I found a fix for this. I rolled back modules/video_chroma/i420_rgb16.c and modules/video_chroma/i420_rgb_mmx.h to revision 11664. These files can be got from the online subversion repository. Here are the URLs to the versions of these files that will still compile with GCC 3.3...

Hope that helps someone out there.
