/* NOCW */ /* dggccbug.c */ /* bug found by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com) - May 1995 */ #include /* * There is a bug in gcc version 2.5.8 (88open OCS/BCS, DG-2.5.8.3, Oct 14 * 1994) as shipped with DGUX 5.4R3.10 that can be bypassed by defining * DG_GCC_BUG in my code. The bug manifests itself by the vaule of a pointer * that is used only by reference, not having it's value change when it is * used to check for exiting the loop. Probably caused by there being 2 * copies of the valiable, one in a register and one being an address that is * passed. */ /*- * compare the out put from * gcc dggccbug.c; ./a.out * and * gcc -O dggccbug.c; ./a.out * compile with -DFIXBUG to remove the bug when optimising. */ void inc(a) int *a; { (*a)++; } main() { int p = 0; #ifdef FIXBUG int dummy; #endif while (p < 3) { fprintf(stderr, "%08X\n", p); inc(&p); #ifdef FIXBUG dummy += p; #endif } }
