On Win32, optimized build (firefox) with profile fails with an error from cvpack
Jungshik Shin
(I'm trying to solve a problem that only manifests itself in optimized
builds). I used 'enable-optimize' along with 'MOZ_PROFILE=1' in my
mozconfig file. However, when building gklayout.dll, I got the following
error:
***** cvpack INTERNAL ERROR, exception code = 0xc0000005 *****
LINK : warning LNK4027: CVPACK error
make[1]: *** [gklayout.dll] Error 66
make[1]: *** Deleting file `gklayout.dll'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/f/moz/builds/fb.opt/layout/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
MSDN has several articles about *old' (visual c 5.0 or earlier) versions
of cvpack not being able to handle more than 64k symbols. However, I'm
not supposed to come across this problem because I have VC++ 6.0
It'd be nice if somebody could help me with this.

--enable-optimize and -disable-debug are the default for the trunk, so
you should only need --enable-debugger-info-modules=yes (and not
MOZ_PROFILE=1).

Thanks. I knew 'enable-optimize' is the default, but specified it out of
an old habit. I wrote to Benjamin to add this info. to his build
document at http://www.mozilla.org/build/

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to help me with 'the cvpack exception'
I keep getting. Just in case, I 'distcleaned' my build and am now
building from the scratch.

It didn't help either. cvpack threw an exception at exactly the same spot:

Has anyone come across this problem before?

It turned out that this is yet another case of VC++ (and accompanying
utilities) not being 'I18N-proof'. By switching my 'ANSI' locale to
English(US) from Korean, I was able to solve the problem.
Perhaps, we need to mention this issue in the Windows build page:
When coming across an inexplicable error from VC++, linker, and other
utilties, try to switch 'ANSI' locale to English.

Ooops. I thought I had built an optimized build, but it was a debug
build that went fine. I tried to build an optimized build and it failed
exactly at the same place under English(US). So... Anyone knows how
to solve this problem....

I can confirm that I get the same error with my optzimized with symbols
build. (MSVC6)
It's the first time in 2 years that I get this problem (I always build
with symbols) and it's happening since 2-3 weeks.
