It seems the problem here is "signed types are undefined on overflow".
abs (2083755264 + abs (abs (79364096) - 256)) Let express in hex on 32bit platform: abs (0x7c339500 + abs (abs (0x4bb0000) - 0x100)) abs (0x7c339500 + 0x4baff00) abs (undefined) Does help to change definition of sum_abs from "int" to "unsigned int" ? Does help to compile it with "-fwrapv" ? http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.0/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code-Gen-Options Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
