[Bug optimization/13411] New: segmentation fault occurs in correct code - optimisation problem at O2


A small function named SM33S destroys local variables which lead to an
segmentation fault when called twice.
This error occurs only when some printf statements are after the declaration
of variables and not at the beginning of the function.
Also the function works when the adresses of data accesses are checked.
It seems to be an optimisation problem since it occurs only at -O2 or higher.
At -O0 the compiler generates an internal compiler error, but I will submit
this in a different bug report.

This program is a test program for developing an altivec function. The 
same operation is implemented in different ways (with and without altivec
code) and the results are compared.
If the altivec implementation is removed or returns immediately, SM33S
alters one of the loacal variables in main() but no segmentation error
occurs.
I have tried to narrow this bug down, but if you change to much on that 
program, the error will not occur.
