Description
On openbsd powerpc BASS causes a segmentation fault right after the intro.
scummvm -v ScummVM 1.0.0 (Nov 18 2009 23:18:40) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib
See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.ports/38669

Furthermore, could you please tell us what the output of "configure" is for you, most importantly, the bits regarding "endianess" and "alignment".
You could try hacking the configure script by changing line 140 from _need_memalign=no to _need_memalign=yes then run ./configure && make clean && make and try again. Does that change anything?

Yes, it's a big endian machine.
Here's the output of configure (without any changes)

I'm running a build with a hacked up configure script right now. It's a pretty old machine, so that will take a while...

Unfortunately forcing memory alignment doesn't change anything. The segmentation fault still happens. Note: I had to edit the line 1486 of the configure script to change the output. Changing the default settings doesn't seem to be enough.
comment:7 by , 15 years ago
Indeed, you have to change line 1486, too, I overlooked that -- great that you caught this :-). Just to double check: You did recompile the relevant files after that change, right (I am pretty sure you did, just want to have it on record).
I suggested alignment issues because it seems to be crashing in READ_LE_UINT16, which typically would suggest alignment issues. But of course other cause are possible.
Is the "scriptData" address (0x2d00203c in your backtrace above) a valid address? I.e. can you peek at it and tell us what the 16 bit word there reads? Opcode ("command") 0 is "push_variable", by the way.
Could you maybe try building our latest trunk version? It changed the endian conversion code considerably. I doubt that it'll have any effect, though, but it might be worth a try.
comment:8 by , 15 years ago
Well trunk of today seems to have fixed it. I just did a fresh build (without alignment) and I can't reproduce the seg fault.
For the record: Yes, I did a clean build after the confiure change. x/xw of the scriptData address gives me 0x08780002. I'm not sure, if this is what you had in mind, I should try.

Weird story! Anyway, if everything works fine now for you, I guess we can close this. Should you ever have troubles again, you know where to find us ;).

Please clarify: Is this a big endian PowerPC processor & motherboard combo? (Most are, but not all.).
