No, that doesn't fix it. > >> Google finds a mention of longjmp failing with -fomit-frame-pointer: >> http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2005-02/msg00158.html >> >> Looks like gcc 4.6 turns on -fomit-frame-pointer by default. > > Hmm.

Yeah, mingw from www.mingw.org which I believe uses msvcrt.dll, package gcc-core-4.6.1-2-mingw32-bin. > This is something that could be worked around in gcc, I suppose. > We recognize longjmp for some things, we could force the use of > a frame pointer for msvc targets too. > > For now it might be best to simply force -fno-omit-frame-pointer > for mingw host in the configure script. Here's a testcase that crashes on the longjmp: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf env; int test(void) { int i; asm("xor %%ebp,%%ebp" ::: "ebp"); i = setjmp(env); printf("i = %d\n", i); if (i == 0) longjmp(env, 2); return i; } int main(void) { return test(); } Remove the asm statement to make it not crash. Obviously with omit-frame-pointer, gcc can shove anything into ebp. Bob
