Subject: gcc 2.95/PPC bug
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 08:03:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <388804D3.DF16EE2F@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> (raw)


When trying to find the cause for crashes of LAME, I think I found a
bug in the gcc.  The code below (which is actually a simpilified excerpt
from LAME) will NOT pass the parameter `buggy' correctly to the
subroutine.  Changing the number/type/sorting of the parameters will,
however, produce a working code in some cases.  Some facts about the
system:

  Machines: PowerMac 7300 (604e), LinuxPPC 2.2.11
	    PB "Lombard" (G3), LinuxPPC 2.2.12
  gcc:      versions 2.95 and 2.95.1
  options:  gcc -O0 -Wall gcc-2.95-ppc-bug.c -o gcc-2.95-ppc-bug

Is this a known (and hopefully already fixed ;-) bug, or should it go
directly to gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org?

Thanks, Albrecht.
