While you're doing the rebuild, can you set the optimization flag to -O2? It's -O3 right now by default, and every now and then it can be a problem (haven't heard of one in a while, but it's been a thing).

It should be setting '-DCMAKE_CXXFLAGS="-O2"'.

I omitted the first part of the program execution since everything seemed to be working fine.  Hope this helps.  Let me know if you would like me to try something else.

OK, that's weird as hell. That's the generic implementation, which is just a std::complex multiply in a for loop. Can you give me your gcc version?

Also using the gdb "disassemble" command you could trace which instruction

Well, that doesn't make me happy at all. Especially since we just patched
the release yesterday...

Sounds like the AMD chip is handling something wrong (or differently) with
the alignment. All vectors passed using volk_profile are supposed to be
properly byte aligned.

Fred, can you just check for me what happens when you run it under gdb?
Just run "gdb volk_profile" and when it crashes, do a "bt" and post the
results of the backtrace here.

Thanks,
Tom
