------- Comment #2 from ian at airs dot com 2008-01-18 16:32 ------- When I compile this code with current mainline with -O3 -Wstrict-overflow=3 I get the following warnings:
Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function unicode_startswith: Objects/unicodeobject.c:6943: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Objects/unicodeobject.c:6947: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function unicode_endswith: Objects/unicodeobject.c:6989: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Objects/unicodeobject.c:6992: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function unicode_expandtabs: Objects/unicodeobject.c:5719: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant Objects/unicodeobject.c:5727: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function rsplit: Objects/unicodeobject.c:368: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function PyUnicodeUCS4_Join: Objects/unicodeobject.c:4659: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function PyUnicodeUCS4_Compare: Objects/unicodeobject.c:5376: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when changing X +- C1 cmp C2 to X cmp C1 +- C2 Objects/unicodeobject.c:5376: warning: assuming signed overflow does not occur when changing X +- C1 cmp C2 to X cmp C1 +- C2 The code you are talking about seems to be around line 5722, so this seems to provide the warnings that you are looking for. So: which compiler are you using? What output do you see? -- ian at airs dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2008-01-18 16:32:45 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34843
