------- Comment #8 from martinwguy at yahoo dot it 2009-03-29 17:49 ------- A bit more info on the real-world cases that this bug bites.
1) libvorbis's testsuite (only in trunk) fails: svn co http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vorbis cd vorbis; ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make test/test complains that "max_abs (0.000000) too small."; it should say "ok" It can be fixed by using "./configure CFLAGS=-fno-finite-math-only" (Both of these utilities' build scripts append your CFLAGS settings to their own default ones.) 2) LAME -V0 outputs silence wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lame/lame-398-2.tar.gz tar xzf lame-398-2.tar.gz cd lame-398-2 ./configure && make wget http://martinwguy.co.uk/martin/test/Happy.wav frontend/lame --nohist -V0 Happy.wav Happy.mp3 mpg123 -w Happy2.wav Happy.mp3 # Or frontend/lame --quiet --decode Happy.mp3 Happy2.wav sox Happy2.wav -e stat | grep 'Maximum amplitude' should say something like maxamp = 0.574310, not 0.000000 It can be fixed by using "./configure CFLAGS=-fno-finite-math-only" and also with "./configure CFLAGS="-fno-schedule-insns -fno-schedule-insns2" though this does not fix the libvorbis issue. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39501
