The attached program produces wrong output when compiled with the -O2
option:
$ gcc -o gcctest gcctest.cpp

Comment 2 William Cohen 2002-04-30 17:33:44 EDT

The compiler is mis-optimizing the code when -O2 set. The following code from
init function implement "f = -(v0+1);":

	flds	12(%ebp)
	fadds	.LC0
	fstps	12(%ebp)
	flds	12(%ebp)       /* load into fp register */
	xorb	$128, 15(%ebp) /* value in fp register, not memory */
	fstps	(%eax)
	movl	-12(%ebp), %eax
	movl	%eax, (%esi)

The "xorb $128, 15(%ebp)" should be a "fchs" instruction.

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2002-12-15 12:47:50 EST

Ok with 3.2
