Consider the following minimal example : --cut after-- #include<iostream>
struct A { long double * t; int n; A() { n=2; t=new long double[2]; } long double &operator()(unsigned i) {return t[i];}; void bug(); }; void A::bug() { A a; for(int k=0;k<n;k++) { if(k!=0) a(k-1)=0; a(k)=1; } if(a(0)==1) std::cerr << "bug" << std::endl; } int main() { A a; a.bug(); return 0; } --cut before-- When compiled with -O with g++ 4.0.1 or 4.0.3, "bug" is displayed, which is incorrect. This does not happen when no optimization is performed. Reproducible with the two following compilers (output of "g++ -v"): Using built-in specs.
