Hello! As mentioned in the PR, ix86_valid_target_attribute_tree creates temporary copies of current options strings and saves *pointers* to these copies with build_target_option_node. A couple of lines below, these temporary copies are freed, leaving dangling pointers in the saved structure. Use xstrndup to create permanent copy of string on the heap. This will however create a small leak, as this copy is never deallocated. There is no test infrastructure to check for memory errors, so there is no testcase added. 2015-09-15 Uros Bizjak PR target/67484 * config/i386/i386.c (ix86_valid_target_attribute_tree): Use xstrdup to copy option_strings to opts->x_ix86_arch_string and opts->x_ix86_tune_string. Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32}. I'll wait a couple of days for possible comments on the above solution. Uros.
