mudflapth not working

[Stuart Clarke]

Hi all,

First submission to this list, so go easy on me.  I've the following
file (temp.cc):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>


int foo_static[] = {0, 0};


void* run(void* arg)
{
    int foo[] = {0, 0};
    printf("foo[2]: %d\r\n", foo[2]);
    printf("foo_static[2]: %d\r\n", foo_static[2]);
}


int main(void)
{
    pthread_t thread;
    pthread_attr_t attributes;
    pthread_attr_init(&attributes);
    pthread_create(&thread, &attributes, &run, 0);

    for (;;) {
        sleep(1);
    }

    return 0;
}

And I conduct the following transaction with my computer:

beef@nono:~$ set | fgrep MUDFLAP
MUDFLAP_OPTIONS='-mode-check --viol-segv'
beef@nono:~$ g++ -fmudflapth -fmudflap temp.cc -lmudflapth -lpthread

As you can see, only the indexing of foo_static caused a violation, not
the indexing of foo.  If foo were in main()'s stack, however, it would
have caused a violation.

Versions of stuff as follows:

beef@nono:~$ gcc --version

beef@nono:~$ uname -a
Linux nono 2.6.15.6 #2 Thu Mar 9 17:34:11 EST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
beef@nono:~$

I've tried to compile 4.1.0 from a GNU mirror, but with the same result.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Stuart
