Hi Everyone, LTO is slowly accumulating bugs. From what I have seen in the post-mortems, it looks like LTO is either (1) results in a compile error (older compilers) or (2) results in a runtime error (newer compilers).
For (2), it appears LTO mishandles code with GCC extended inline assembly. To build the library with LTO, you have to use -DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_ASM. That gets us past the self tests but causes a slowdown in the library. Worse, most users and distros are not aware of the LTO problems so the library gets built with it but without -DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_ASM. I think we should add -fno-lto when GCC and compatibles support it. What do you think? Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Crypto++ Users" group.
