Unable to compile with error in je_safety_check_set_abort

Help and Support
1

Good morning. I’ve been running a 3.3.5 instance for some months on Manjaro Linux. Recently an update to MariaDB prevented launching which required a recompilation. When I went to recompile (with my old existing sources) I got an error in jemalloc_preamble.h:

In file included from /home/master/WoW/TrinityCore/dep/jemalloc/src/safety_check.c:1:

Which results in an Error 2 on compiling. I pulled latest sources and tried to build again with the same error. I peeked at the code but its out of my depth.

I got no cmake errors, and I pulled into a fresh directory and built with a target directory that was new as well. My cmake options were:

cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/master/WoW/test -DTOOLS=1 -DSERVERS=1 -DWITH_WARNINGS=1

And the cmake output was:

cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/master/WoW/test -DTOOLS=1 -DSERVERS=1 -DWITH_WARNINGS=1

So at this point I’m at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help me, please?

I ran into this on openSUSE Tumbleweed a few mins ago. I added -DNOJEM=1 (figured it looked safe to disable from hint)

cmake ~/'Projects/TrinityCore-335/src' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/'Projects/TrinityCore-335/run' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='Release' -DWITHOUT_METRICS='1' -DTOOLS='1' -DNOJEM='1'

GCC 15 and Clang 20 both had the jemalloc error. With NOJEM=1 Clang got a littlefurther before another error; GCC compiled it fine! (no errors but will test server in a bit)

I ended up setting up a debian distrobox to compile and run from.

Got the same issue on opensuse. I just commented out safety_check_set_abort and safety_check_abort, and it compiled fine. These do not seem to be used anywhere.
