Version: 1.5.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux This is for SPARC (Ultra10 workstation) only!!! This issue has been observed on versions: - 1.2.0 (debian "squeeze" pre-compiler pakage). - 1.4.0 (build from tarball). - 1.5.0 (build from tarball). The first time digiKam is started, thumbnails are displayed correctly while they are created. If scrolling thumbnail area, digikam crashes. Then the next time digikam is started, as soon as an album is selected, digikam crashes while trying to display 1st thumbnail. This is 100% repeatable. Running digiKam under gdb, crash has been traced back to libpgf ("ClearBitBlock" function in "Decoder.cpp"). This bug seems to have been reported in the past (and fixed) on PPC platform. Looking a bit forward, it appears that "__BIG_ENDIAN__" (should be managed somewhere in the Makefiles, as it is not provided by compiler) macro is never defined and then libpgf is compiled as "little endian" on a "big endian" machine... For debug purpose "Hardcoding" a "#define __BIG_ENDIAN__" at the beginning of the files that requires it fixes the issue. I've no idea on how to patch the cmake scripts to have a clean configuration for SPARC machines... Sorry sorry... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Case 1: digikam has never been run (or database files deleted): - 1st build Thumbnails database. - Then scroll through thumbnails. => Crash. Case 2: digikam has alread been run, and a thumbnail database already exist. - Select an album. => Crash. Actual Results: - Crash with segmentation fault. Expected Results: Display thumbnails!!! SPARC platform (Ultra 10 workstation, running debian "Squeeze").

But there is more simple to get endianess using Qt4API : http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/dimg/dimg.cpp#1506 Gilles Caulier
As libpgf do not depand of Qt4, this flag can be used instead : http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/threadimageio/pgfutils.cpp#68 Gilles Caulier
In fact __BIG_ENDIAN__ is defined in the core system as well, thriugh C++ header (i think) But look like littlecms library handle endianness: http://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/blob/master/include/lcms2.h#L169 I will patch svn trunk code in this way Gilles Caulier

I CC libpgf maintainer for info... Gilles Caulier
SVN commit 1186197 by cgilles: fix endiannes detection into libpgf. If it work properly unde SPARC architecture, this patch must be backported to libpgf as well.

to jfc31, I commited a patch to KDE repository. Please checkout code from svn trunk and try again on your SPARC computer. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 52681 [details] supposedly better endianess detection for libPGF
Gilles, I tested your patch and found no problems so far. It will be integrated in the next libPGF release (no specific date yet). Encoder and Decoder have endian specific code too, the attached patch will fix this and remove a redundant check from the lcms2 code. @jfc31: Please test this patch too. Thanks, Raphael PS: ah, I'll never get used to the "Add an attachment" process ;-)

jfc31, I fixed also an endianness detection issue in lensfun library included in digiKam core. Please can you checkout digikam source code from svn trunk (1.6.0) and check if all is fine for you ? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
Gilles, Raphael, It took me quite some time to test the fixes... Sorry for that, I'm at least as slow as my old computer ;)... I did the tests with the 21-Oct-2010-#2PM svn image. First of all everything compiles well. But at run time things are not that nice as the libpgf issue is still there (the code seems now to be a bit more talkative and I've some error message before crash pointing out PGF code). I digged a bit more in the files and came up with the following thing: Something is incorrectly set in PGFplatform.h, on line 40 we should have #if defined(__sgi__) || defined(__sgi) || defined(__powerpc__) || defined(sparc) || defined(__sparc__) and not: #if defined(__sgi__) || defined(__sgi) || defined(__powerpc__) || defined(sparc) || defined(sparc) -> The correct macro that gcc uses to define SPARC processors is __sparc__ (see http://predef.sourceforge.net/prearch.html a good summarry of how the various compilers indicates which processor they are targetting... a real mess indeed...) Thanks a lot for all this work, this great software and for beeing so reactive fixing things! Gilles, I didn't had opportunity to test lensfun stuff. I'll do that later (I still need to learn digiKam a bit more)... Jean-Fred
SVN commit 1188992 by cgilles: fix sparc macro from gcc CCBUGS: 254203 M +1 -1 PGFplatform.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1188992
Jean-Fred, PGF is patch in svn. Forget lensfun, the code affected is not used by digiKam and i removed it as well. Please recompile digiKam using trunk code including my fix, run it, and look if it crash again. If yes, post a gdb backtrace in this report. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
Gilles, DigiKam is not crashing anymore while displaying thumbnails! Thanks, Jean-Fred
Thanks Jean-Fred... I close this file now... Raphael, please take a care about the small adjustment in libpgf source code done by commit http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1188992 Look comment #14 for details Best Gilles Caulier
Thanks for reporting and testing. I patched our code base, so the changes will eventually also show up on SourceForge. Best, Raphael
