[cctbxbb] Boost broken on mac?

[richard.gildea at diamond.ac.uk]

I have just tried the following:

-o2: still fails

-o2, remove -ffast-math flag: success!

I will now try -o3 combined with removal of -ffast-math flag.

Do you happen to know what clang/llvm version was used with the previous version of XCode (perhaps someone who has yet to update to XCode could tell us)?

$ clang --version
Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.3.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Cheers,

Richard

> I don't think this has anything to do with boost (as Markus initially thought). This smells like over-aggressive compiler optimization after the xcode 7.3 update, I am just testing recompilation with -O2 instead of -O3 optimization.

It is indeed likely a bug in clang/llvm, which is be triggered by a particular stack of function calls. But at least, we know the said bug is not triggered when using Boost 1.56. If I had a bit of courage, I would try the trunk of clang/llvm, and then perhaps bisect to find where the problem came from.
