Hi Andrew,
I'm not able to give that program because its huge. But i'm sure its
failing at this point. I'm also trying to recreate this problem by small
program but I couldn't! Here is some test cases...
Compiled ----
With debug flag (ie in debug mode) == its working
without debug flag and not initialization to NULL == its working
without debug flag and initialization to NULL == its not working.
I'm suspecting some runtime environment issue or optimization problem , Is
there gcc flag to suppress this!?
Thanks & Regards,
Sharath.
