Package: gcc-4.6
Version: 4.6.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


        Hello,

Trying to compile VLC media player using Debian gcc-4.6.
It turns out that the compiler is silently replacing memmove() calls
with memcpy() ones, when it is clearly NOT a legal optimization. The
issue was uncovered with valgrind. For instance, this one is failing,
even though both source and destination obviously overlap:

     memmove( &p_aout->pp_inputs[i_input], &p_aout->pp_inputs[i_input + 1],
              (AOUT_MAX_INPUTS - i_input - 1) * sizeof(aout_input_t *) );

This results in memory corruption at run-time and eventually crashes.

Compiler flags used were: -g -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fPIC
I can provide the full .i file if needed.

Best regards,
