I am using gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8) under the Inline::C perl module
and having a very weird situation. I have a multi-line macro that declares several variables and then does some work with them, for use in several functions that have similar invocations, interfacing to an external library. I was getting mysterious segfaults so I went over everything with a tweezers, eventually adding a printf line to the end of the macro so I could verify that the unpacking of my arguments was proceeding correctly. To my surprise, the addition of this line, which shouldn't have any side effects, has solved the problem. Adding -O0 to the CCFLAGS makes no difference. GCC appears to be treating my long macro as some kind of block and throwing out variables that are not used within it instead of simply pasting the code in at the macro invocation point. Is this a known problem with 4.0.2? Is there a workaround? Should I upgrade? -- David L Nicol Can you remember when vending machines took pennies?
