[Bug c/28569] New: Segmentation fault from struct pointers

[sawada at icepp dot s dot u-tokyo dot ac dot jp]

When I compile following source code with command line option -O, gcc stops due
to segmentation fault. I have attached also error message from gcc.

This problem could be fixed by initializing pointers like
   char *p = 0;
   AAA *aaa = 0;
   BBB *bbb = 0;

My system is "Linux 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jul 7 10:16:56 CDT 2006 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux"

--------source code------------
typedef struct {
   int m1;
   int m2;
} AAA;

typedef struct {
   int n1;
   int n2;
} BBB;

void function()
{
   char *p;
   AAA *aaa;
   BBB *bbb;

   aaa = p + bbb->n2;
   if ((p + aaa->m2) == bbb) {
      aaa->m2 = 0;
   }
}
----------------------------------
