This kind of question really doesn't belong here but on gcc-help. But while we're here... The standard 1st questions are: 1) Did you compile with -Wall -Wextra and solve all warnings? 2) Did you try with -fno-strict-aliasing? There is just not enough information in your question to be more helpful. Good luck, Ciao! Steven
