Hrm, somebody is taking chances here. Nested functions are evil and forbidden by ISO C standard.
I don't know what kind of black magic gcc is supposed to use to be able to find the local variables of the declaration scope when the nested function is called via a function pointer from outside. I suppose it will have to create some kind of trampoline on the stack, which means you lose non-exec stack capability for your program. It may still be a bug that it doesn't work on ppc with some optimisations, but it's really not proper C in the first place. -- mountall fails, broken (powerpc?) gcc? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
