Help me diagnose a black screen error on linux/mac

gistfile1.txt

I believe these settings should be enough to reproduce the error.

platform: linux
bits: 64
haxe version: latest dev version

hxcpp:
https://github.com/larsiusprime/hxcpp (master branch)

openfl:
https://github.com/larsiusprime/openfl (allfixes_openfl3 branch)

lime:
https://github.com/larsiusprime/lime (allfixes3 branch)

You will have to rebuild hxcpp and lime from source

To rebuild hxcpp from source:

cd ~/path/to/hxcpp
cd tools/hxcpp
haxe compile.hxml
cd ../../
cd project
neko build.n

To rebuild lime from source (IIRC):

cd ~/path/to/lime
git submodule init
git submodule update
haxelib run lime rebuild tools
haxelib run lime rebuild linux

Reproduction case:
- rebuild hxcpp
- rebuild lime
- clone https://github.com/openfl/openfl-samples (master branch)
- compile the "PiratePig" sample under "demos" for linux

Intended behavior:
- the sample should run properly and display a match-3 game

Actual behavior:
- you hear sound but the display is just blank white

Testing on mac, got a regression window!

Spent half a day trying to figure it out and I think it's caused by HaxeFoundation/hxcpp#575. I actually reproduced the blank screen on my Windows machine as well. And the "regressed commit" you mentioned probably just disables the analyzer by default, so the compiler behaviour was changed. Enabling it back with -D analyzer-optimize fixes the symptom.

Hopefully, Hugh will fix that issue soon and you'll be able to check if it helps.
