Package: mysql-dfsg-5.0 Version: 5.0.22-3 Compiling the archive with a pre-release of GCC 4.2, I found a compiler bug while building mysql-dfsg-5.0. I forwarded a testcase based on the mysql-dfsg-5.0 code (sp_cache.cc) and while there definitely is a compiler bug that needs to be fixed, the GCC people also said that the mysql code is invalid, that is, that it violates the C++ aliasing rules.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28544 in which a GCC developer says, "I can trivially fix this [GCC bug], but the code isn't going to do what you want when i'm done, since it is an aliasing violation :)" -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
