[Bug 1353469] [NEW] Compiler optimization error needs investigation

 

Public bug reported:

This is a breakaway bug from bug 1351308.

accountsservice 0.6.37-1ubuntu7 introduced a new bug where
libaccountsservice would not report the manager object as loaded.  It
wasn't because of the content of that upload, but rather seemingly
because of building with a new compiler.  It got uploaded shortly after
the gcc 4.9 transition.

I wasn't able to determine whether this is something accountsservice is
doing or just gcc's fault.  But even inserting some debug statements
around the place or downgrading optimization to -O1 made the problem go
away.  So I'm leaning towards gcc.

For now, we just changed optimization in the package to workaround the
problem.  But the root source should be investigated.

** Affects: gcc-4.9 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: accountsservice (Ubuntu) => gcc-4.9 (Ubuntu)
