Description:
I try to run zsnes with lib32-libxcb 1.12 but not even start, I tryied debugin the issue and all come to libxcb, the newer version libxcb now work with zsnes.

I'm reading in mailist that this is something that is happening with many software not rebuild in a few years like adobe-reader.

Additional info:
* zsnes 1.51 default config, first run
* lib32-libxcb 1.12


Steps to reproduce:
try run zsnes with lib32-libxcb 1.12 and see it not start
try run zsnes with lib32-libxcv 1.11.1 and work frawlesly

I think that libxcb has changed something internally or added a bug.
This task depends upon

rebuild zsnes have no effect, libxcd is the culprit, maybe an undocumented change

breaking acroread and other 32bit software as well.
for acroread, no rebuild is possible.

Hi. Version 1.12 breaks teamviewer too, see comment section of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer/

i tried to send a mail explaining the problem to the xcb mailinglist but it didnt come through yet. either stuck in moderation or lost somewhere.
on their irc channel nobody was responding yesterday and today.

Maybe the changelog of 1.12 could point to something closest to what happened, any other distro having 1.12 so far?

A temporal alternative is just keep 1.11.1 for now.

message got through, they asked for more usable info.
sent refined stack trace to xcbs mailinglist (see thread [0]).
could you provide stack traces of other affected software using the debug-build of lib32-libxcb (pre-built version [1])?

@georg thanks for packaging this debug build!

Attached is what I could get from the core dump, but I'm new to this and I see complaints about missing symbols that I don't know what to do with; if there's more to extract with some configuration, please help.

@ronan: i dont know too much about this either, but seeing failures in ?? () makes me guess that the function the crash occurs in was not identified. we'll see if this helps. thank you for helping!

Reporting from forum thread.
I had no luck witch getting any usefull information from wine but I was able to reproduce this bug with the RadeonSSDGuru utility.
It comes in 32 and 64 bit versions. 64 bit works fine with 1.12-1, 32 bit crashes on startup when using 1.12-1 but works with 1.11-1.

Attached stack trace when using lib32-libxcb prebuild by @georg.

Building this library with optimization level 1 (-O1) seems to solve the problem.

I am experiencing similar crashes with a proprietary 32-bit binary that uses libxcb. I have noticed that rebuilding libxcb with the '-g' or '-O1' GCC option fixes the problem for me, which is unfortunate. I have a feeling that these crashes may be related to the recent switch to GCC 6, maybe some UB or an optimizer issue with -O2?

As a temporary workaround, applying disable_O2.patch to the PKGBUILD fixed the crash for me. Maybe we should rebuild this package with that change until the issue is resolved if this fixes the problem for others?

I've pushed lib32-libxcb-1.12-2 with O1 in CFLAGS as a workaround

i can confirm this works for acroread.
Comment by Phillip Schichtel (pschichtel) - Tuesday, 07 June 2016, 08:33 GMT
I can confirm this for TeamViewer as well
