You might be surprised. At one point the hppa port also did some integer multiplication or division with the FPU. This is an issue with RTEMS since normally you can specify on a per task basis whether or not the FPU context is saved/restored. When the compiler surprises you, weird things happen. :) I agree that this is undesirable behavior on an embedded system and should be reported. So this is a bug in gcc 2.x, not in egcs, right? --joel Joel Sherrill Director of Research & Development joel@OARcorp.com On-Line Applications Research Ask me about RTEMS: a free RTOS Huntsville AL 35805 Support Available (256) 722-9985 _______________________________________________ New CrossGCC FAQ: http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC _______________________________________________ To remove yourself from the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
