Subject: possible egcs c compiler bug
Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 16:19:17 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199905192019.QAA00884@dirac.nist.gov> (raw)


I have found what *appears* to be a bug in the C compiler.  I have experienced
this bug in R4 (regardless of the compiler/library installed) as well as in
the latest (i.e. all the latest packages through 5/15/1999) pre-R5
installation.  I include a short program below which illustrates the problem
I am having.  The code compiles without error on my i386 machine
running RHL 5.2.  The version of EGCS on the PC is 1.0.3 versus 1.1.2 on my
PowerMac, so I don't know if this is a PPC problem or an EGCS problem.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

The code is as follows:

test.c:

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <stdarg.h>

     static int myFunction(va_list inList)
     {
        va_list newList;
        newList = inList;
     }

When I try to compile the code

     % gcc -c test.c

I get the following error message

     test.c: In function `myFunction':
     test.c:7: incompatible types in assignment

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
