Dear list, Namaste (hello). This is my first post. I wonder if I have found a bug or at least an anomalous behaviour in GCC. Please download the file segfault.tar.gz from: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=0D3E9B791AE99BEA (available for seven days from now). Do make and test both monthpan and monthpan-bug with any date range that contains a Sunday (which is where the bug lies). You should find that monthpan creates an output file called monthpan.txt whereas monthpan-bug creates a segmentation fault at grahanaama[0] (grahanaama means "weekday name"). The only difference between the two source files monthpan.c and monthpan-bug.c is that the latter contains the line: char spicanaama[] = "Spica"; *before* the start of the declarations of the two-dimensional arrays, which for some reason seems to cause the zero element of the first two-dimensional array to be out-of-bounds. This problem confirmed on gcc-4.1/glibc-2.4 and gcc-3.35/glibc-2.34. Please can anyone enlighten me as to what exactly causes this bug? Is it a bug with GCC? If yes, where do I report it? Thanks. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.1 $ date [] CCE +2006-05-22 W21-1 UTC+0530
