  • It builds fine with gcc 7.3.1.
  • It builds with gcc8 when removing -Werror from build/linux/common/makefile.base.

Suggested fix for compilation issue under recent gcc

comment:1 Changed 5 years ago by crosewarne

I believe this is due to recent gcc versions prohibiting using memcpy to copy an instance of a class unless the class is 'trivially copyable'. In this case the presence of the constructor (and even the destructor also seemed relevant somehow) causes the compiler to not consider the class trivially copyable.

The attached patch uses 'default member initializers' to initialize instead of the constructor. This enables compilation under gcc-9.1.0. However, I understand default member initializers are a feature of C++11. Under gcc-4.8.5 the code compiled with this patch and a test case produced identical result, but I am unsure if the patch is suitable for all older compilers we should support.
