bug in cygwin-gcc 2.95.3-1 (compiled with -mno-cygwin)?

{
int end = i-1;
BOOL check_it = YES;

objectAtIndex:i] location].y;


// ATTENTION:
// The following if statement causes a compilerproblem for an optimized
release version
// if(abs(abs(second_position - first_position) - abs(third_position -
second_position)) <= 2)
//
// ErrorMessage:
// OVTextBoundingLines.m:333: Unable to generate reloads for:

// To solve the problem I had to replace the abs(...), which was th first in
the if-statement
// by something else. Storing every semi-result in an own variable and using
at last an
// variable: int aResult=abs(res3) for the following if statement:
// if (aResult<=2) {...}
// does unfortunatelly not solve the problem. (Seems to be a bug in gcc!!!!)
// So I had to use that if statement: if (res3<=2 || res3>=-2)
// without any abs() within.

// Begin workaround variables
int res1=second_position - first_position;
int res2=third_position - second_position;


int abs1=abs(res1);
int abs2=abs(res2);
int res3=abs1-abs2;
// End workaround variables

if(i < ([characters count]-1))

check_it = NO;
i++;
