There's a 3rd possibility: you have an undefined behavior, e.g. because the expression uses an uninitialized value, in which case the compiler can assume anything, and debugging with gdb wouldn't necessarily help. Just in case, compile with -Wall, and -O0 if you want to use gdb. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
