The present GCC supports level 3 for some time, try using it.

Let's see where CUPS 2.x issue 642 goes before we adopt this here. Info about what level 3 does is here FWIW, there is a cost of using this (both code size and execution time), which we should also look at. |

"make test" times in the "cups" directory (so not the ippeveprinter tests) with level 2 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS running in multipass on my M1 Max MacBook Pro: Level 3, same system: So it doesn't look like there is any measurable overhead for using level 3. (there is that one odd real time for the second level 3 run, but I know I didn't wait 27 minutes so ??? User and system times are pretty much the same across the board. |

Sizes of the level 2 object files is 5198576 bytes: Level 3 sizes also total 5198576 bytes: So either the GCC in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (11.3.0) doesn't actually support |

Hi Mike, I'll add the statistics from Fedora 38 regarding _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, but as fas as I can tell it works here - I have a detected buffer overflow in pappl due the new level (reproduceable if pappl is built with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 and you start lprint) - I'll send the PR right away (we subtract a higher pointer from a lower one). |
