  gcc (GCC) 3.1 [FreeBSD] 20020509 (prerelease)
>Description:
GCC 3.1 has a bug in signed char treatment.  See below.
>How-To-Repeat:
knu@archon[2]% cat a.c
int main(void)
{
   unsigned char i = 127;
   char j;

   printf("%d\n", ((char)(i << 1)));
   j = ((char)(i << 1)) / 2;
   printf("%d\n", j);
   j = ((char)(i << 1));
   printf("%d\n", j / 2);
   return 0;
}
knu@archon[2]% cc a.c
knu@archon[2]% ./a.out
-2
127
-1

The second value should be equal to the third (-1). (char is signed on
the platform)

I can reproduce this with any of -O[0-6].

With gcc 2.95.x, this test code properly results in -2, -1 and -1.
>Fix:
Changing the division from `/ 2' to `>> 1' seems to work around the
problem, but I don't know why.
