[Bug c++/44613] New: Declaring an array with non-constant length inside a switch corrupts stack pointer.


The following program compiles with g++ -O3 without errors or warnings but sets
crash at the first printf. It seems to zero the stack pointer before calling
printf.

----- Begin switch-crash.ii
# 1 "switch-crash.cpp"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "switch-crash.cpp"
extern "C" int printf (__const char *__restrict __format, ...);

int f(int len) {
    switch(1) {
        case 1:
            char x[len];
            break;
    }
    printf("Done\n");
}

int main() {
    f(1);
    printf("Done\n");
}
------ End switch-crash.ii

Output of g++ -v:
