The most likely culprit is a bug in gcc's optimizer that affects (at least) 4.5. People have also reported problems with gcc 4.4 but I've never been able to reproduce that myself. Check your common.gypi - v8_no_strict_aliasing should be true while strict_aliasing should be false (I've renamed the second one in the master branch to node_no_strict_aliasing for the sake of consistency.) If all else fails, upgrade to gcc 4.6 or 4.7 or compile with clang. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
