Re: C code working using CC but not with gcc

["Sivaprasad.pv" <sivaprasad dot pv at redpinesignals dot com>]

Hi karthikeyan,
 I have checked with gcc, it is working fine( means, I not getting any 
memory fault issue).
According to my knowledge 'x' is uninitialized local pointer variable 
(as we know for local variable space is allocated  in stack not in bss 
section).
As per ur code  x is pointing to some garbage location which may or may 
not valid location and ur dereferencing it.
So I think ur  the  code execution depend on which garbage location   x 
is pointing to.
