Package: g++-4.0
Version: 4.0.1-2
Severity: normal
If one tries to output an address of a character variable or a pointer
to a character variable, the output is scrambled.
Consider the following test program:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
main () {
char a = 'a';
bool b = 0;
short s = 0;
int i = 4711;
char *pa = &a;
int *pi = &i;
void *vpa = &a;
printf("printf Output of address of i is %lx\n", &i);
printf("printf Output of pointer to i is %lx\n", pi);
std::cout << "cout Output of pointer to i is " << pi << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of address of i is " << &i << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of pointer to a is " << pa << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of void pointer to a is " << vpa << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of address of a is " << &a << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of address of a is ";
std::cout << &a;
std::cout << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of address of b is " << &b << '\n';
std::cout << "cout Output of address of s is " << &s << '\n';
printf("printf Output of address of a is %lx\n", &a);
}
It has the following output:
printf Output of address of i is bffff874
printf Output of pointer to i is bffff874
cout Output of pointer to i is 0xbffff874
cout Output of address of i is 0xbffff874
cout Output of pointer to a is a{øÿ¿tøÿ¿{øÿ¿èøÿ¿téÙ·
cout Output of void pointer to a is 0xbffff87b
cout Output of address of a is a{øÿ¿tøÿ¿{øÿ¿èøÿ¿téÙ·
cout Output of address of a is a{øÿ¿tøÿ¿{øÿ¿èøÿ¿téÙ·
cout Output of address of b is 0xbffff87a
cout Output of address of s is 0xbffff878
printf Output of address of a is bffff87b
As one can see with od -c, there are some unprintable characters:

Initially, I started with stable, i.e. g++-3.3 and g++3.4. Those
versions have the same Problem. Perhaps it is located in libc6?
