memory exhaust when compiling mocs_compilation.cpp

[jg1uaa]

Contour Terminal version

0.4.4-master-2dcb6604

Installer source

Github: source code cloned

Operating System

Void Linux

Architecture

x86-64

Other Software

gcc-13.2.0
libfreetype-2.13.2
libunicode-0.4.0
boxed-cpp 1.2.2
libfontconfig-2.14.2
harfbuzz-8.5.0
pkg-config 0.29.2
libxkbcommon-1.7.0

Steps to reproduce

after git clone and install necessary components (I used distro-provided boxed-cpp and libunicode etc., not from scripts/install-deps.sh),

[uaa@voidlinux-vm ~]$ mkdir -p contour/build
[uaa@voidlinux-vm ~]$ cd contour/build/
[uaa@voidlinux-vm build]$ cmake ..
[uaa@voidlinux-vm build]$ make VERBOSE=1

Expected Behavior

Normally, build with no error.

Actual Behavior

Memory exhaust occurs compiling ContourTerminalDisplay_autogen/mocs_compilation.cpp.o.
I faced the problem with Void Linux on QEMU virtual machine. 24GB memory + 12GB swap.

Hi @jg1uaa, thanks for the report.
We are aware of this issue, and for gcc 14, everything is alright. In the mean time I would suggest to use clang, or ask void people @classabbyamp if it is possible to bump gcc version

[jg1uaa]

Thanks! I use clang-17.0.6 instead of gcc-13.2.0, the problem solved.
