Is this happening in a build without -flto? If so then I'd suggest to
isolate the TU having the issue. You can also try to see whether
-fcompare-debug catches any issue (though in principle that's
somewhat an unrelated class of problems).
You can see whether disabling address-space randomization helps
(it would still be a GCC bug).
Once you have a reproducer (preprocessed source) please file
a bugreport.
Hello Richard,
I've managed to get a reproducer, it's not minimal though :)
I didn't manage to create an account on bugzilla (got no response
to the email asking for an account), so I'll post reproduction
steps here. Sorry in advance for a lot of text.
I've tested this on:
* 16-core x86_64 machine with 32G of RAM
kernel: Linux 6.12.95+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian
6.12.95-1 (2026-07-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux
* 8-core x86_64 machine with 16G of RAM
kernel: Linux 7.1.5 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul 24 14:21:27
UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've run the following commands:

After about 15-20 minutes I reliably get a checkout_* directory with a
different
build result.
My guess is that it's related to the interaction between pre-compiled
headers and
variable tracking pass. I've worked around that by disabling
pre-compiled headers
in glslang build for now, but the bug is still there in gcc I think.
Thanks,
Nazar Kazakov
