Forgive me if this has already been discussed or even fixed in later versions: At least the Firebird 3.0 we build as part of LibreOffice defines global operator new replacement functions in src/common/classes/alloc.h (forwarding to MemoryPool) that do not in general fulfil the alignment requirements for such functions.
Came across this when Firebird compiled with a recent trunk Clang (with -O, and DEBUG_GDS_ALLOC being undefined) on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu causes SEGV from misaligned MOVAPS instructions. See the mail thread starting at <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-February/052676.html> "[cfe-dev] operator new alignment assumptions" for some details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
