Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- char * a_tmp = new char[n*sizeof(double)+1]; char * b_tmp = new char[n*sizeof(double)+1]; double * a = reinterpret_cast<double*>(a_tmp+1); double * b = reinterpret_cast<double*>(b_tmp+1); You are violating C rules dealing with alignment. Pointer a and b are not aligned to the alignment of double so the behavior is undefined.
