--- Comment #4 from vwebber <vwebber at msn dot com> --- BTW, what happens in the rare occurrence of a bug report being found valid.

However, the data being overwritten is on the stack in a function which is called after the problematic scanf() etc are are run. I would suggest running up GDB and do a break on access of the overwritten lvalue.

You might be able to detect some of this with -fsanitize=address or by using valgrind. This is almost definitely not a bug in GCC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You reported the bug.
