At work I run egcs-1.0; here at home egcs-1.3a with the pgcc-patch.
the following pice of code ran well at work. here at home the if
statement never seems to evaluate to 1. 

    		  
T[0][Y]=(-0.5*(-2.*t1*t3*t6+t5*t6+t6*t7-6.*t1*t8+6.*t3*t8-6.*cos(t1)+6.*cos(t3)))/t4;

    if ( fabs(T[i][Y]-f)<=(long double)DBL_EPSILON)
    {
        printf("Erfolg");    
        punkt_fertig=1; 
    }

If I enter some nonesense just before if(...) it works correctly again,

   
T[0][Y]=(-0.5*(-2.*t1*t3*t6+t5*t6+t6*t7-6.*t1*t8+6.*t3*t8-6.*cos(t1)+6.*cos(t3)))/t4;

    printf("\r");    
    if ( fabs(T[i][Y]-f)<=(long double)DBL_EPSILON)
    {
        printf("Erfolg");    
        punkt_fertig=1; 
    }
    
    return punkt_fertig;     
}

I tried to declare punkt_fertig as volatile but that did not work. I am
not aware that anything cold be legaly optimized away. Is it a bug or
what?

These are aout of my makefile
CFLAGS = -O6 -mpentium -g -funroll-all-loops -marg-align-double
-mstack-align-double -malign-double

and yes, it works with -O0, but not otherwise (e.g. -O2 does not)

I am not on the list. If you can help me please reply to
