is 'app' reserved?

[Yan Seiner <yan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've run across a really bizarre problem.

I am cross-compiling using gcc 3.4.4.

I've run into a really bizarre situation:

given: step = 1, _P_finc = 0.01, fs->value = ""

   float app, t, u, diff;

   if (fc->_P_fix < 0) {
           t = strtof(fs->value,(char **)NULL);
           u = t + (((float)step) * fc->_P_finc);
       printf("%f %f %f %d %f\n",t,u,fc->_P_finc,step,step * fc->_P_finc);
       }

produces the expected result, with t being 0.01.

   float app, t, u, diff;

   if (fc->_P_fix < 0) {
           t = strtof(fs->value,(char **)NULL);
           app = t + (((float)step) * fc->_P_finc);
       printf("%f %f %f %d %f\n",app,u,fc->_P_finc,step,step * 
fc->_P_finc);
       }

results in app being 0.  I've tweaked all sorts of things, but it seems 
that app is never assigned a value...

WTF?
