Hi Ingo,
I haven't tried yet, but getting different behavior when compiling with and without optimization is often a sign of using uninitialized variables/memory. In my experience when running an executable compiled with debugging, uninitialized stuff is often zero'd out, while it may contain arbitrary values otherwise.
That's good to know. :-)
Anyway, I'll try to reproduce your problem now, although I won't promise anything, since I had a couple White Russians this evening ("election party" :-).
Thanks! I hope Deutschland gets the chancellor you want most! (The lady? :-D)
PS: Please use Oliver's gcc.
OK, I will. It's installed on my system and I won't get it down unless a new version appears. :)
Even if you personally haven't had problems with the GG version, there are proven examples where things go wrong. IIRC it doesn't compile the kernel utils unit tests.
I didn't know. When I compiled the whole tree (months back) I had no problem with GG's compiler.
Though that's a relatively harmless problem. There are cases where optimization > -O1 simply produces incorrect code.
OK, I'll be using Oliver's compiler from now on.
Thanks, Adi.
