------- Comment #6 from rearnsha at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-02-10 14:36 ------- This is not a bug, but a problem with your source code.
In order to understand why, you need to pre-process the code and look at the output: ... void *memset_arm9(void *a, int b, int c) { return ({ uint8_t *dst = ((uint8_t *)a); uint8_t c = (b); int count = (c); uin t32_t dummy0, dummy1, dummy2; __asm__ __volatile__ ( Notice that first there is a declaration of a variable c (uint8_t), then in the next statement there is a use of c. This use (which is intended to be of the formal parameter passed to memset_arm9 is instead interpreted as the newly declared variable c (the uint8 one). Compiling your testcase with -Wshadow gives: inl.c: In function 'memset_arm9': inl.c:66: warning: declaration of 'c' shadows a parameter inl.c:64: warning: shadowed declaration is here -- rearnsha at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rearnsha at gcc dot gnu dot | |org Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31693
