Because changing compiler flags "to make it not crash" does not correct the underlying problem. It only hides the problem. It probably moves it elsewhere as well. And because the real cause of the crash, and how it is affected by the pointer aliasing setting, has not been identified. > ?(BTW have you gotten any response from the Qt developers regarding the > patches you sent them a year ago?) You stated that on recent versions of QT4 you no longer need to apply all the patches which used to be required. That means that at least some of the CVSDude QT patches were applied. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V. stefan.teleman at gmail.com
