"Illegal Instruction" when using "image_view" with theora.

Hi,

I'm using latest ROS electric with Ubuntu 10.10 (kernel 2.6.35-27-generic).

When running:

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/foo/image_raw _image_transport:=theora

It returns nothing but an "Illegal Instruction" message.

This error appears to any subscribed topic with sensor_msgs/Image message type, even from usual nodes like usb_cam and gencam_cu.

Also it works well with compressed and raw transport.

From reading the core of image_view with gdb:

    Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Could you append the output of "uname -m" and "cat /proc/cpuinfo"? I am also having trouble with OpenCV in Electric on my laptop, but I don't know the extent of the problem yet.

Okiedokie. I've edited my question with that info added.

We've confirmed that this is a problem with our OpenCV deb, and released a new version yesterday. Updating (sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) should fix it.

We were building OpenCV with all the way up to SSE4.2. OpenCV has SSE-optimized code paths for many algorithms, and dispatches to the fastest available implementation using runtime CPUID detection. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, gcc only gives us file-level granularity in choosing the instruction set. So gcc would also optimize generic C code to use SSE4 when possible, resulting in "Illegal instruction" for some random subset of the OpenCV API. Short of a significant (and ugly) refactoring of OpenCV, we apparently lack a safe way to generate debs taking full advantage of runtime CPUID detection.

The new deb compromises on SSE2 (not SSE3/4), which is pretty universal and allows OpenCV to use almost all of its optimized code paths.

Thanks a lot, it solved my problem! Also thanks for the explanation.
