I found a bug in g++ that I have been unable to reproduce with a simple
test file, so I don't know whether this report is actually useful.  I'll
include the hopefully relevant pieces.


class CardSet {
       int   *set;
       short card;
..

class TwoSet  {
        CardSet th;                             
        CardSet on;                            

inline short TwoSet::Card()                     { return th.card; }

Node* Network::FindContainers(TwoSet* f, short* num, Node* fr=0)
{
  short count = 0;
  short j;
  register NodePtr q, root=0;
  short thresh = f->Card();
}

Here is the generated assembly code.

.globl _FindContainers_PSNetwork_PSNOR_PHI_PSNode
_FindContainers_PSNetwork_PSNOR_PHI_PSNode:
        link a6,#-4
        moveml #0x3f3c,sp@-
        movel a6@(12),d6              # f into d6
        movel a6@(20),a0
        clrw d5                       # count = 0
        clrl d4                       # root = 0
        movel d6,a5                   # f into a5
        movew a5@(4),a5               # card into a5
        movel a5,a6@(-4)              # BOOM: long instead of short move 


The bug goes away when the Card() is declared as int.  I realize that
this is the evil 'bug envelope' but I've been unable to reproduce it
with smaller files.
