Problems compiling theide with mingw (help needed) [message #46251]

With C++11 transition, I am in process of switching nightly builds Win32 compiler to mingw (burrent builds are mingw produced already).

However, I have problems with theide inconsistently crashing. First I tried with TDM64, it was crashing for any optimization higher than -o1 level. Then tried tried latest mingw-w64, looked a bit better in the start, but still appears to be unstable.

Does anybody have the experience with building theide with mingw?

It is still possible that the bug is somewhere in the U++ code, OTOH, POSIX builds (with GCC) and MSC builds are 'stable' (I mean, there are sometimes bugs that have to be fixed, but nothing like mingw crashing in long proven routines - one time with TDM I have even analyzed the assembly and found apparent bug...)

I've tried to compile with mingw in Linux and got into troubles with include file names. They are all lowercase in case of Linux version of mingw.

In case of TDM:
gcc (tdm64-1) 4.9.2 x64 seems to work fine. All configurations.
gcc (GCC) 4.8.1 x86. Optimal and Speed configurations crash.

What is your -O setting? Are you using BLITZ?

Have you tested long-term? At first I thought it is OK, but then tried it for regular work and found that not so much...

Anyway, right now I believe that -O2 without BLITZ works with 5.3.0. Current nightly build is done that way. Working hypothesis is that the problem is automatic inlining of all function (which -O3 adds), perhaps linker is unable to cope with that... (naturally, I turned my attention to linker, as GCC itself should be the same as in Linux, where everything is rock stable...). Moreover, -O2 seems to be as fast as -O3.

Now if only linker would be faster with debug...

Standard. Speed: -O3, size -Os. I'm using BLITZ only with Debug, which is fine.

For about a year. I need gcc name demangling code.

Another difference between Linux and Windows versions is exception handling. It is always DWARF in Linux, and it is SJLJ in case of 32bit Windows apps, and SEH in case of 64bit Windows apps.

Another observation. I removed -msse2 option with 4.8.1 x86 and that fixed crashing with Optimal and Speed configurations. It looks like it is either a problem with gcc or with data alignment in Upp.

Hope this helps.
