That comba code is ~2.5 years old. During those years, it has been *continuously* building correctly, without errors or warnings, and has been running and passing all tests, when built with an older version of GCC on Linux. You can watch the continuous builds and tests at http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=NSS-Stable-Branch Something changed, and consequently things broke. The comba code didn't change, but gcc did. You can figure it out from there. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
