Hi,

Thank you Nathan, Tomas and Jesper for the answers. The patch at [0]
works for me and I could work with master smoothly now.

Same here. I use clang as compiler because I use clangd for code
indexing, gcc sometimes use different compiler options which may broke 
it. I used '-O0' in my daily coding and only use '-O2' when doing some
performance testing.
