- Well, sometimes there can be bugs difficult to describe. Here is what I found:
-
-
- System: A3000/18MB memory/OS2.04
- Compiler: SAS C 6.1
-
- Options: DATA=NEAR CPU=68020 MATH=IEEE OPTIMIZE
-
- when trying to compile the jpeg converter from the Independent JPEG Group
- (Version 4 from ftp.uu.net) the compiler generates enforcer hits when
- compiling the jdpipe.c module: long word reads from $8 and Byte reads from $0,
- enforcer doesn't show the hunk although the faulting instruction is in RAM.
- The hit takes place before (or just when) the second pass (either optimizer
- or code generator) is started.
-
- The resulting executable crashes with a bus error.
-
- Compiling with CPU=ANY still causes the same enforcer hit but the resulting
- executable runs fine.
-
- I've tried dozens of different compiler options (optimize, utilitylib, cpu,
- memory model) with no effects.
-
- Sorry, EMITS doesn't accept my registration number.
