Hi,
I have a C code which outputs some extra characters when
compiled and
executed on i386 4.0_BETA and gives correct output on amd64
4.0_BETA
(both compiled from source around 25.8.2006).
The program could be obtained the following way:
- 8< -
#include <stdio.h>
int
main()
{
char c;
printf("#include <stdio.h>\n\n");
printf("char s[] = {\n\n");
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
printf("\t%d,\n", c);
printf("};\n\n");
printf("int\n");
printf("main() {\n");
printf("\tprintf(\"%%s\",
s);\n");
printf("\treturn 0;\n");
printf("}\n");
return 0;
}
- >8 -
- let this be a test.c file
$ gcc -o test test.c
$ ./test < test.c > out.c
$ gcc -o out out.c
$ ./out
#include <stdio.h>
int
main()
{
char c;
printf("#include <stdio.h>\n\n");
printf("char s[] = {\n\n");
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
printf("\t%d,\n", c);
printf("};\n\n");
printf("int\n");
printf("main() {\n");
printf("\tprintf(\"%%s\",
s);\n");
printf("\treturn 0;\n");
printf("}\n");
return 0;
}

^^^^ -- the extra characters
- it should output the original source, but gives extra four
characters
on the end. The characters are (hexadecimal) f0 ff bf bf. I
don't get
these on amd64. Is this a bug in gcc or I have something
done wrong
during the i386 installation/configuration?
Thanks,
r.
