Description

I've found that I've had to turn off SSE and SSE2 when building on my system (Windows XP 32bit, CMake 2.8, Qt 2010.04's mingw32) in order to resolve crashes in imread and resize. With that in mind, I'm recommending having these flags unchecked by default when compiling with mingw32.

I can compile the stable release with SSE and SSE2 enabled. However, I had to turn them off when compiling the SVN latest_test_release, or get Internal Compiler Errors.

Windows XP 32bit, CMake 2.8, C++ 4.5 via MinGW32, installed via mingw-get 0.1-alpha-4.

I haven't tried compiling on latest_test_release, just trunk. Would it be helpful if I tried that?

The latest OpenCV is known to compile fine with TDM-Mingw 4.5.1, as well as any reasonably new version of GCC (>= 4.2) in other OSes.

Please read carefully the starting ticket. "If you build OCV with SSE2=ON than imread/imresize will crash."

This happens me too when

1) I create a named window. The application will crash when I call

cv::namedWindow("TAG Image",CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);

Debug crash report in MainWindowProc() in highgui_220.dll

2) I've crash also when I try to create video stream

video.open("Video.avi",CV_FOURCC('L', 'A', 'G', 'S'),1,cv::Size(w,h),1);

Debug crash report:
CvVideoWriter_VFW::createStreams(CvSize, bool) () (C:\LIBS\bin\libopencv_highgui220.dll:??)

if I use CV_FOURCC('X', 'V', 'I', 'D'); all it's OK (please note that Lagarith codec is correctly running)

Above issues happens only if SSE2=ON and BUILD_TYPE=Release when I build OpenCV 2.2 SVN trunk Mingw32 / g++ 4.5.1 on WinXP/PentiumD

If CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug OR SSE2=OFF all works fine !

Perhaps, with switching default "-O3" to "-O2" optimization flags the problem is gone. It already solved a few test failures. Delete existing CMake cache and create it from scratch to activate "-O2".

The issue is still there. I tried the latest SVN version with mingw 4.5.2. Segmentation fault in MainWindowProc.

See ticket #1896. I think the attached patch could solve the problem.
