fix-mainwindow-layout-odr.patch Fix crash on startup caused by MainWindow ODR violation USE_SOUND and USE_SPEECH change the size and layout of the MainWindow
class (see the #ifdef-guarded members in mainwindow.h).
.
They were defined with target_compile_definitions(... PRIVATE ...) on the
gui library, so they were only visible to the sources of that library.
main.cpp, which lives in the chessx executable target and does
"new MainWindow", was compiled without them and therefore allocated a
smaller MainWindow object than the constructors in the gui library
expect. Initializing the trailing members then wrote past the end of the
allocation, corrupting the heap and aborting at startup with
"corrupted size vs. prev_size" or a segfault in QMainWindow::menuBar().
.
Make the compile definitions and the associated Qt libraries PUBLIC so
that every translation unit, including main.cpp, sees the same MainWindow
layout.

fix-board-setup-no-king-crash.patch Fix crash in board setup when a side has no king In the board setup dialog, removing the side-to-move king (e.g. selecting the
white king and clicking the square it occupies) calls BitBoard::isCheck() with
m_ksq[sideToMove] == InvalidSquare. isCheck() passes that invalid square to
isAttackedBy(), which uses it to index the 64-entry rotated bitboard attack
tables in bishopAttacksFrom()/rookAttacksFrom(), reading past the end of those
globals and corrupting memory (segfault).
.
A side without a king cannot be in check, so simply guard isCheck() against a
missing king square instead of using it as an index.
