Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.3-5
Severity: normal
this is new in gcc/g++ 3.3.3-5; it worked in 3.3.3-3 (i think, not
sure about the -3 part).
the following minimal test program triggers an endless loop (it should
exit immediately):
--------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
static struct {
int count:4;
} test;
int main()
{
while (test.count--)
puts("the impossible happened");
return 0;
}
--------------------------
if count is no bitfield or if it is an unsigned bitfield, everything
seems fine.
