- Subject: [ECOS] variable length automatic arrays.
Short question:
Does eCos allocate dynamically sized arrays?
Longer version:
I'm worried about dynamic arrays under arm-elf-gcc 3.3.4.
Looks like our application code, at least, is being adversely
affected by this bug:
"gcc-3.3: Miscompiles automatic dynamic arrays"
http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2004/07/msg00135.html
So we're going through our app hunting these down. Upgrading
the compiler to 3.4 might fix it, but new parser fussiness
appears to be making that a more painful option than bughunting.
Does eCos code rely on this gcc feature? Do we have
to audit eCos code for varlength automatic arrays
or just our app code?
