             Summary: codec_gsm: while building, optimization flag is overwritten
                 Key: ASTERISK-28792
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-28792
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Codecs/codec_gsm
    Affects Versions: 17.3.0, 16.9.0, 13.32.0
            Reporter: Alexander Traud
            Severity: Minor


Because of ASTERISK-28374, I found this issue here.

With the Compiler Flag DONT_OPTIMIZE is enabled, Clang erred while compiling the file {{codecs/gsm/src/add.c}}. This happens, because the {{Makefile}} in the directory {{codecs/gsm}} checks for a specific GCC version as well. That check works correctly. However, the variable name OPTIMIZE is re-used. Because of that, the value of OPTIMIZE from the default {{Makefile.rules}} is used (even when DONT_OPTIMIZE is enabled).

Consequently, this is not a Clang specific issue but also affects GCC.

The related issues reports are:
* Mantis 17688 (now ASTERISK-16408)
* Mantis 11243 (now ASTERISK-10762)
* https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34216

The easy fix would be to change the names of those two OPTIMIZE (and the hope that -O0 -O3 gets -O0). The correct fix would be to investigate that GCC -O3 issue finally and possibly remove that compiler switch completely. Not sure what to do. Therefore, I am just reporting this actual 13 year old software bug. Because ASTERISK-28374 is now fixed, the issue here is a no-care actually.
