When compiling the popular GPC polygon clipping library
(http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/alan/software/) with -O2 or -O3 and
then processing a special polygon, it fails with a sigsegv on linux.
The program works fine without optimization and with -O.
I get the same results with compilers 4.3.2 and 4.3.3, but not with 4.0.2 (at
-O3).
I've run valgrind on the code and it comes back clean and even works!!
I've attached a the preprocessed source (which is large) from the gcc-4.4.
This is how it's compile and run:
gcc -O2 -o clip main.i
gzip -dc polygon.gz | ./clip
I've attached also the full source code.
I'll try to contact the author as well, perhaps there's a problem with the code
when using optimization.
