the following simple code produces a segfault when compiled using gcc 3.2 using the folloing command line: gcc -march=k6-3 -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizations -fstrict-aliasing -pipe -Wall -Werror -fno-common -o foo foo.c ---8<--- void *array[4]; int main () { int i; for (i = 0; i < sizeof (array) / sizeof (array[0]); i++) array[i] = 0; return 0; } ---8<--- The following is the resulting asm (-S instead of -o foo). Lines begining with "*" are annotations. Non-useful lines are omitted. movl $array+4, %eax movl $array, %edx cmpl $array+13, %eax movl $array+12, %ecx jb .L10 .loc 1 9 0 movl $0, (%edx) .loc 1 8 0 addl $4, %edx cmpl %ecx, %edx ja .L9 .L10: subl $array-1, %ecx shrl $4, %ecx * ^^^ set to 0 .p2align 5,,7 .L28: .loc 1 9 0 movl $0, (%edx) movl $0, 4(%edx) movl $0, 8(%edx) movl $0, 12(%edx) .loc 1 8 0 addl $16, %edx loop .L28 * ^^^ %ecx is 0 for the first pass and thus this loop becomes * effectively infinite causing %edx to overflow the array. .L9: .loc 1 10 0 ret [snip] .string "GNU C 3.2.1 20020924 (Debian prerelease)" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii binutils 2.12.90.0.1-5 The GNU assembler, linker and binary utiliti ii libc6 2.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone host: i386-linux Configured with: /home/packages/gcc/3.2/gcc-3.2-3.2.1ds5/src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,proto,objc,ada --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.2 --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-objc-gc i386-linux >Description: [ Reported to the Debian BTS as report #162919.
