#10762 closed Patch - Feature (Fixed)

Patch for compile with clang in greedyh.asm

Description

On Linux x86_64 platforms with clang, the compiler appears to optimize out variables that are used in the assembly code(s) in the file greedyh.asm, resulting in the inability to link the codes. This patch adds in the used attribute hint to those variables (as is done for other variables).

Longer term, it might make sense to port the current xine sources, which appear to have different improvements to that code area, but that would be a larger effort since the calling parms have also changed. This is a "minimal" fix.

Since clang is not an officially supported compiler, I am creating this as a feature patch.

Env: clang/llvm 3.1 with mythtv git master

Thanks for your consideration.

Replying to Craig Treleaven <ctreleaven@…>:

Does this fix the workaround in:

Possibly. Since I do not have a MacOS X system (at all, let along to build/test with), it is just conjecture that it is related (but seems plausible).
