Hello djgpp-ers,

I think I found a bug in gcc. But first, I had to mail the bug to this
newsgroup. gcc allocates an occupied register for a computation. I made
the following small sample file of the problem. You should cancel
optimization, otherwise the problem does not occur due to removal of
code.

Best regard, Michiel de Bondt

// do not use optimization

union intel
{
  long e;
  short x;
  struct {
    char l;
    char h;
  } b;

int main ()
{
  register union intel a __asm__ ("%eax");
  register union intel b __asm__ ("%ebx");
  register union intel c __asm__ ("%ecx");
  register union intel d __asm__ ("%edx");
  b.b.l++;
}
