varargs.h problem, IRIX 6.5

[Miklos Cserzo]

Hi,

it seems to be a bug in the varargs.h under IRIX 6.5.

OS: IRIX 6.5.3, native compiler: 7.2, GCC: egcs 1.1.2.

The installation of egcs was painless. Default settings were applied.
"gmake compare" did not return anything.


Bug example code:

_______________________________________


#include <varargs.h>

void foo (va_alist)
va_dcl
{
  va_list p;
  double q;
  va_start (p);
  q=va_arg (p, double);
  printf ("%i\n", (int) q);
}

int main ()
{
  double q = 8.0;
  foo (q);
  return 0;
}

________________________________________

The code is fine with the native compiler. Also work OK with gcc under
DEC-UNIX. For compilation I used the following command:

gcc bug.c -o bug


Cheers,

miklos
