Subject: GCC mainline is broken on x86
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=Oe1BuSWoSLLxii-jSk+uihiNSgw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Revision 174952:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2011-06/msg00441.html

totally breaks C++ on x86:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49378
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2011-06/msg00159.html

One symptom is we are using uninitialized registers, which leads
to writing random memory location.  The same ia32 binary works on
Fedora 14 under kernel 2.6.35 and failed under Fedora 15 under
kernel 2.6.38.

We also use uninitialized registers on x86-64, but the program
doesn't crash.  This bug may also affects C and other languages.
