I typically start with a small test which is compiled differently by the stage1 and stage2 compilers. Then I figure out where they diverge in their behavior (say at a pass level). Then I figure out where they first diverge at a function within a pass. That's usually the function that is being mis-compiled. Sometimes you can make some educated guesses based recent changes and comparing how something was compiled before/after the change. In all these are some of the most annoying bugs to tackle. jeff > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOtDHBAAoJEBRtltQi2kC7L20H/1SCJSyusm+MG3oL3SIS2AWz ahbGFPnIQO0jPi7KGGuH0Cb1ynk1yvHlyLGOoLMAxvRU4zzoKVpXfg7PD966C8Ad m7Lak7kTlyX6i+rB4+CIAsAA24u0Q1vzvnyzW4gEYk7v1dvvee1nqEMR5p/DbfUU iXei/L+tZJ4Vq5lf/+0B8Zz7+P10KmU1VydAlFS9OeK2QKuESXUADUiVZtrWZXsB ClzXOqm6F9Zq/HpK/Va5SGeiYy3sXGzFIzYUnV/RlZcExWH7kPTgbkLXky/D4lKS CyTzXsfo5mvqZuIp7HtOXGrSZPl2/w2Y1KF0LlQntkJKVR81sic/KG2CfeAVGPA= =5ZYe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
