Hi All,
I have a patch ( well really this is a workaround ) for a strange issue
( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34908 ) that I have been
looking at on and off for the last while.
Briefly what is happening is that a dynamic_cast is failing in the
distro build ( e.g. with patches ) but only on 32 bit, the corresponding
rawbuild build works as expected. On 64, both distro and non distro
builds behave as expected ( no problems in this area )
Note: nm -C | grep CheckboxMark on the various libraries yields afaics
mostly identical results, another test I did was to build the sw module
from the rawbuild tree in the distro tree, running with those libraries
yields the same problem ( confirming what I already thought from lots of
manual patch reverts ) but interestingly moving those same libraries
into the the rawbuild install and they work again :-/
Anyway the patch/workaround is here
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=44788
In addition to review it would be great to get some opinion on what is
the best way to deliver this fix, myself and Petr couldn't quite decide
which was the best option, the choices are
a) leave this as a patch ( with some note in apply ) at least we wont
forget about the problem
b) commit directly into the branch, this sortof sweeps the problem
under the carpet ( which make me a little uncomfortable )
