Pointer error with MIPS

["chunxia qiudong" <xiachunqiu at hotmail dot com>]

Dear all,

I'm amazing about my cross compiler for TX39 (mips I).
The uninitialized data pointer is always located to address 0x00. i.e :

...
void reverse_copy(char *str_1,char *str_2)
{
 char *temp_str; // also the temp_str point to 0x00 ??
...
...
}
...
int main(void)
{
char *str_1,*str_2;

str_1="test";    // GCC put str_1 to a dedicated address, but str_2 point 
to 0x00
reverse_copy(str_1,str_2);  
...                         
...                         
return 0;
}

So is there any constrains for GCC to put the uninitialized pointer within 
a valid address (above 0x80000000 is OK for my system).

I tried the same program under PC. The BorlandC keep these pointer within a 
valid address for PC (not 0x00), I don't know how the GCC handle it.

Best regards
Stewart
