Sample code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a[2];
a[0]=10;
a[1]=20;
printf("a[0] = %d a[1] = %d\n", a[0], a[1]);
a[0]^=a[1]^=a[0]^=a[1];
printf("a[0] = %d a[1] = %d\n", a[0], a[1]);
return 0;
}
gcc test.c -o test -O2
a[0] = 10 a[1] = 20
a[0] = 20 a[1] = 10
gcc test.c -o test -O0
a[0] = 10 a[1] = 20
a[0] = 0 a[1] = 10
Bug: When compiled with -O0 swap fails.
Swap only fails in case of array. Following code works fine with -O0:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b;
a=10;
b=20;
printf("a = %d b = %d\n", a, b);
a^=b^=a^=b;
printf("a = %d b = %d\n", a, b);
return 0;
}
