X-SW-Source: 2005-04/txt/msg00182.txt.bz2 Short question: Does eCos allocate dynamically sized arrays? Longer version: I'm worried about dynamic arrays under arm-elf-gcc 3.3.4. Looks like our application code, at least, is being adversely affected by this bug: "gcc-3.3: Miscompiles automatic dynamic arrays" http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2004/07/msg00135.html So we're going through our app hunting these down. Upgrading the compiler to 3.4 might fix it, but new parser fussiness appears to be making that a more painful option than bughunting. Does eCos code rely on this gcc feature? Do we have to audit eCos code for varlength automatic arrays or just our app code? -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
