Hello,
Having a problem with "+=" operator (and the addition / assignment operation in
general) in g++.
I have a protected function that looks like:
double LSMbdnew::norm(double *vec1, long num) {
long i;
double a, ret;
ret = 0.0;
for (i=0; i<num; i++) {
a = *(vec1 + i);
ret = ret + a*a;
}
return ret;
}
Problem is, the variable ret becomes zero after the second iteration in the test
I'm running. How does this happen? I have checked the variable ret -- there is
no conflict in this scope. In fact, if I change the last line in the loop to a
straight assignment, there's no problem. But when I try to use assign/add,
problem.
Thanks,
-David

If you turn this into a test case people can actually run, then people
will help you. A naked function isn't a program that people can test.
