Due "-O0" optimisation error: undefined reference to `vtable for HardwareSerial'

[daanvV]

I am trying to disable all compiler optimisation for Due. In platform.txt I set all "-Os" to "-O0" (see image for exact locations). Compiling a simple blink sketch gives me error below.

It seems problem is known for Arduino: fix for "undefined reference to `vtable for HardwareSerial'" by EndlessDelirium · Pull Request #336 · sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5 · GitHub

Any ideas? Many thanks!

Optimisation settings can be set for Due here: Compiler optimisation for due board - Arduino Due - Arduino Forum

N.b. Forum is not letting me post full compiler output.

Did you try this:

#pragma GCC push_options  // To disable optimization from compiler
#pragma GCC optimize ("O0")

void setup() {
  
}

void loop() {
  
}
#pragma GCC pop_options

Yes I did, but when I do that the compiler output suggests that -Os is still being used as a flag(?) after the file path string:

Compiling libraries...

Which gives me the impression nothing is done with the #pragma settings.

[ard_newbie]

With the "empty" sketch provided in reply #1, after compiling, I get:

Sketch uses 10004 bytes with

#pragma GCC optimize ("O0")

Sketch uses 9988 bytes with "O3"

Sketch uses 9980 bytes with "Os"

Hence #pragma does something.

Ah indeed, I get a similar result. Thanks for that!
