Follow-up Comment #2, bug #47847 (project gettext): IMO the sentence "The value of a pointer becomes indeterminate when the object it points to reaches the end of its lifetime." (ISO C 6.2.4) means that you should not compare pointers to local variables which have gone out of scope: The function
int foo (int x) { int *pa, *pb; { int a = x; pa = &a; } { int b = x; pb = &b; } return pa == pb; } can return 0 or 1, depending on compiler optimizations. This explains the coverity warning. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47847> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
