That is "working correctly" ?!? Very well, but not so obvious. _IF_ we had "argflaps" (taken from the word "mudflaps") we could get printf (or any other function) to type-check the variable on the stack (or anywhere!) at run-time and compare it to what it "thought" it should be. This could be a very powerful feature - but lack of it is not a bug :( . -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32448
