Re: Code Generation Bug (long)

Thanks for your responses.  Most people think it is a question of optimization.   
This is not the case.  I have submitted this bug to NeXT.  Below is a shorter  
version of what I gave them.  This is not reproducible as it does not include  
some .h files needed to compile.

We have found a code generation bug in the 3.0 C compiler.  It occurs with  
optimization OFF.  There are two symptoms:
1) Code mysteriously gets segmentation fault or other severe error.
2) A variable is "missing" in GDB.

Problem 1 is due to the compiler thinking that an A register contains the  
offset for an automatic variable when it does not.  The variable is the same  
one as in problem 2.

The following .s file demonstrates the problem.  Notice that there is no debug  
record for automatic variable "innnx".  I have marked with "XXX" the places  
where improper code is generated.  Register A2 is presumed to contain the  
offset for "innnx" but it does not.
