Bug ID: 74751 Summary: gcc can't generate correct code Product: gcc Version: 4.8.5 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jeanerpp at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 39272 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=39272&action=edit c source code to reproduce this issue. compile and run the attached code, we got wrong result: $ /usr/bin/gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 -g3 -o ttt test.c && ./ttt smac:1122334455667788 dmac:1020304050607080 result:00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 If run with valgrind, memory error reported: $ valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ./ttt ...... ==30875== Use of uninitialised value of size 8 ==30875== at 0x4E7C251: _itoa_word (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==30875== by 0x4E7D325: vfprintf (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==30875== by 0x4E86C98: printf (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==30875== by 0x4005D4: pmac.constprop.1 (test.c:36) ==30875== by 0x400668: IPsecCacheBuildImpl.constprop.0 (test.c:108) ==30875== by 0x400488: main (test.c:121) ==30875== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation ==30875== at 0x4005F8: IPsecCacheBuildImpl.constprop.0 (test.c:88) ==30875== ...... In the source code attached, some workaround can be made to solve this issue. But root cause is expected.
