>Description:
If "multimedia/mplayer" or "multimedia/gmplayer" is built with the
"caca" option (IIUC this is color ASCII-art rendition of video) and
then using the option is attempted with

  $ mplayer -vo caca some_video_file.mp4

the terminal in which the command is invoked is cleared, the start
of mplayer's running status line is printed on the top line and then
the terminates with segfault.  The terminal is left in a state where
the cursor is invisble.

The resulting core file is not particularly revealing.  Even after
rebuilding with the "debug" option for "mplayer" and setting

  CFLAGS+=-ggdb
  CXXFLAGS+=-ggdb
  INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED=yes

for "graphics/libcaca" and "multimedia/mplayer", and leaving their
respective "${WRKSRC}" trees intact, the best I can get is (for
mplayer):

Core was generated by `mplayer'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

>How-To-Repeat:
See above.  Build "mplayer" and/or "gmplayer" with:

  PKG_OPTIONS.mplayer+=caca
  PKG_OPTIONS.gmplayer+=caca

And try to play a video file with "-vo caca"


(Possibly an interaction with other options?  I typically turn them all
on.)

One thing to note is that with "libaa" (monochrome ASCII-art rendition,
"-vo aa"), it opens a new window to display, while "-vo caca" seems to
try to use the current terminal (possible conflict with other output
operations?).
>Fix:
Workaround:  Don't use "-vo caca".  Monochrome ASCII-art is available
with "-vo aa".

 Try _WRAP_EXTRA_ARGS.CC+=-ggdb and/or CWRAPPERS_APPEND.cc+=-ggdb.
 That said, the frames in question might be in one of the libraries
 linked.

 I've added _WRAP_EXTRA_ARGS.CC+=-ggdb to the previous extra settings
 and rebuilt libcaca, mplayer, and now ffmpeg3 with these.

 So far, the gdb backtraces still do not show any symbolic information,
 not even library names.

 I suspect I'll have to rebuild all of the depended libraries...

 If you start the program in gdb, run pmap on the pid in another
 terminal. That shows you what library is mapped where.

 Thanks for the tip!  The fault address seems to be in "libcurses".

 First address in backtrace:  0x00007f7ff7819403
 Longest matches in 'pmap' output:

   00007F7FF7800000    148K read/exec         /usr/lib/libcurses.so.7.0
   00007F7FF7825000   2048K                   /usr/lib/libcurses.so.7.0

 I installed the debug sets (now that I have space to do so), but no
 additional information was forthcoming.

 Based on the first three frames, I would hazard a guess that libcaca has
 given something to libcurses that it can't deal with.

 Can you manually build and install with DBG=-g in lib/libcurses? Debug
 sets still use -O2.

 Does libcaca have a test suite that you could run (make test)?

 There is a "test" subdirectory under ${WRKSRC}.  There is a "caca-test.cpp"
 but no executable.  Trying to build it manually from the directory, it
 can't locate required headers from "cppunit".

 A "simple" and a "bench" test were built.  When run, they claim everything
 passes.

 There is also an "examples" directory which contains executables (but
 they are not installed).  They seem to work.

 An interesting bit is that "libcaca.so" is linked with "ncurses":

 $ ldd /usr/pkg/lib/libcaca.so
 /usr/pkg/lib/libcaca.so:
 	-lncurses.6 => /usr/pkg/lib/libncurses.so.6
 	-lgcc_s.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
 	-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
 	-lz.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1

 but when used within 'mplayer' it seems the display is attempted with
 system curses.  Conflict?

 That would be asking for trouble, yes.

 Hmm.  Changing the output to "x11" via PKG_OPTIONS.libcaca sidesteps the
 issue.  Curiously, this is quite slow compared to mplayer's default "xv"
 output on the same hardware.

 I believe I have done this properly and copied the resulting library
 and debug file to the test system.

 Repeating the test reveals no new information.  This time, there were
 only three frames in the backtrace.

 #0  0x00007f7ff7821f26 in ?? ()
 #1  0x0000a50000000000 in ?? ()
 #2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

 The first backtrace address is in libcurses, but no debugging information
 is available.

 The second frame address seems to be garbage and doesn't appear in the
 pmap listing at all (i.e., the longest matching address is 0000 which
 matches everything).   The third frame is the 'mplayer' executable.
