error building in debug mode on debian

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

Hi, after some time I’ve tried a fresh build of panda in debug mode on debian 8 with this command :

CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 makepanda/makepanda.py --verbose --everything --no-fftw --no-gles --no-gles2  --outputdir built.debug --threads 7 --optimize 1 --installer

but I got this error:

...

When building in release mode (i.e. with --optimize 3) there is no problem. The git branch is master.

I’m trying, but I’m afraid I cannot reproduce this issue. I’ve tried with both clang and gcc. Which version of gcc are you using?

On a sidenote, you don’t have to pass -std=c++11 nowadays since makepanda already does the equivalent.

The version of gcc in debian 8 is 4.9.2.

I also tried to build with gcc 5.4.0 on ubuntu 16.04 and I got similar results:
-the debug build is unsuccessful with this error

Hmm, I believe the __cpu_model issue is fixed with my latest push, please try it again.

I tried, but unfortunately the problem is still there:

  • with gcc 4.9.2/debian the error is the same as above
  • with gcc 5.4.0/ubuntu the error has changed in this other:

After some investigations, I found out that the debug build is successful if the constructors of PointerTo, ConstPointerTo and PointerToBase are made ALWAYS_INLINE.
That is in panda/src/express/pointerTo.h I put

...
ALWAYS_INLINE CONSTEXPR PointerTo() NOEXCEPT DEFAULT_CTOR;
...
ALWAYS_INLINE CONSTEXPR ConstPointerTo() NOEXCEPT DEFAULT_CTOR;
...

and in panda/src/express/pointerToBase.h I put

ALWAYS_INLINE CONSTEXPR PointerToBase() NOEXCEPT DEFAULT_CTOR;

Nice catch! That looks like a compiler bug. Thanks for finding a workaround. I will commit it shortly.

hello!

I have the same problem, and I did this change (Compile in Centos7 with python 3), but I have the next error:

Can you help me?

Which version of Panda3D are you compiling, and what version of GCC are you using?
