I have moved to the very latest Red Hat gcc-2.96-52 along with, cpp and libstdc++ I have a simple web page renderer written in C. Building this single file program with this latest gcc results in it NOT executing on the remote server ! Well to be more accurate I don't know if it is not running or just not outputing anything ! It is neither writing to stdout nor to a file, that's for sure ! It runs locally, not in a server domain, I mean just running it from the command line and watching the HTML spewing out into the console. I was running gcc-2.95-9.2mdk, which worked fine. But I have also seen these symptoms with a Mandrake version, I can't however remember which one. What could have been done to gcc that allows programs to run locally but not when called via a script on a remote Apache server Any help would be appreciated since it is a real pain having to switch compilers ! Thanks, Owen
Without a testcase I cannot do really anything about it. Please reopen if you have a self-contained testcase which triggers some miscompilation in gcc. Try compiling with -O0 to see if it cures it (if it does, then please track it down to a particular .c file which causes it not to work even when all other files are compiled with -On n>=1), if not, try compiling it with some older gcc (like egcs from RH6.2) and similarly mix objects up to see which one if compiled by egcs and all others are compiled by gcc makes the bug go away.
