The bug is known to occur with the following versions:
- gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC)
- g++ (Ubuntu 4.3.2-2ubuntu11) 4.3.3 20090111 (prerelease)
The symptom of the bug is that when you use -O2 htons(short) returns
'unsigned int' (32 bit) rather then the expected 16bit value.
With no optimization it returns the correct 16bit.
I'll attach a testcase.
