------- Comment #3 from segher at kernel dot crashing dot org 2006-09-03 20:39 ------- The overwriting behaviour is required by 6.7.8/18 and 19. A warning is certainly in order; long ago, GCC used to warn, and bugs were caught because of that. Not anymore...
I'll see if I can do a patch. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24010
