I don't know whether your sending this message to the same list was
intentional. However, since you did, please let me also respond.

Nobody intends to steal your code on this list. We are in the business
of developing compilers, not in the business of developing DSP
processors. In addition, I don't believe that the code snippet sent
would give your competition any advantage whatsover.

Please understand that we have a policy not to look into bug reports
without source code; there is no point in speculating what the problem
could be.

I was going to investigate this bug report, since I appreciate any
reports that we get so we can improve the compiler. However, since it
is apparently not the position of Ericsson that contributing to free
software projects in this way is not allowed, I won't endanger your
colleague by doing anything about this report.

Kind regards,
Martin
