The code you gave segfault'ed and dumped the core, on a machine close to your arc (1.3.12-4). Im not a c programmer, yet ;), but i think its to do with declaration...This works: int main() { /* declare the variable so main() can see it */ int end; /* do what you please with end */ int end = 0; } Elfyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Takashi Chikayama To: Cc: 'ICPC02' Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 6:16 AM Subject: 1.3.12: gcc bug: variable named "end" > CYGWIN_NT-5.1 X22CHIKAYAMA 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 > unknown > gcc 2.95.3-5 > > The following program causes a segmentation fault. > --- > int end; > main() { end = 0; } > --- > Seems that the problem is with the variable name "end". > In the object code tries to store in some invalid address. > Variables with other names, of course, does not cause this. > > - Takashi Chikayama@Dept. of Frontier Informatics, the Univ. of Tokyo > - 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113 Japan > - Tel. +81-3-5841-6658; Fax. +81-3-5841-8572 > > > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
