What makes it different from, say, bog-of-the-mill compiler code (yes, gcc compiles itself as part of its sanity checking)? > and this is exactly what I was reporting.

If the related segments show code that is somehow wrong, by all means report it /with your detailed analysis/ to the compiler people. Just a warning, gcc is pretty smart in what it does, its code is often surprising to the unwashed. Also, the C standard is subtle, the error might be in a unwarranted assumption in the source code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
