The function makes use of some similar but different, longer macros in different branches of the function. With -fno-tree-pta, the code works. The compiler even generates unaligned overlapping like "movl $0,0; movl $0,1;". The second assign is both unaligned and overlaps three bytes of the long starting at 0. The generated code first computes the right value and then overwrites it with 0 with these instructions. The bug affects both i586 and x86-64. This bug may be related to Bug 636118 - "gcc 4.5 breaks mozilla's libffi implementation", or maybe not, because it mentions "It only fails for i586 but not x86-64." gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.5.0 20100722 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 162408] produces working code. If you are interested, I can supply the preprocessor output and the assembly file, but as the bug seems to be already fixed in newer versions of gcc, I suggest to just update the compiler to a newer version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile mksquashfs 2. Create squashfs file system. 3. File system is corrupt. Actual Results: Generated file system is corrupt. Expected Results: Generated file system is not corrupt. This bug has affected different people on different systems with i586 and x86-64 on Intel and AMD CPUs who tried to use this program. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
