--- Comment #2 from Krzysztof Strasburger <strasbur at chkw386 dot ch.pwr.wroc.pl> --- OK, I'm not and expert, but mem is a global structure and it can be of different size in other object file. The linker should assume the biggest of all, correct? The example I posted comes from f2c-translated FORTRAN77 code (it is cleared from f2c references). It was a normal practice to mix C with FORTRAN for dynamic memory allocation. The memory allocated via malloc() was referenced to a small (one-element) static array. There was nothing illegal with this. And how can the compiler assume freely that both i1 and i2 are zeros, if they are passed as actual arguments?
