Package: gcc-4.7
Version: 4.7.2-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I'm using libffi5
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I noticed a problem with the simple libffi "call puts" example.
* What was the outcome of this action?
With -O0 it works, with -O2 the second "This is cool!" ffi_call segfaults.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected two messages.
Also, I mixed in some debugging messages in another version of the file and
sometimes (depending on their location) I would see both messages.
I don't know if it worked because of the changes or if it was crashing at
random.
This was with -O0.
I shrunk the code down to the libffi5 sample, but that always works with -O0,
so I don't think they're the same probllem.
Reportbug states that there's a newer version in experimental - 4.7.2-21, I
guess it hasn't been mirrored to where I am (Ireland) yet - I'm using the
newest version.
Also, gcc-4.8 is broken (missing deps) in experimental.
