Good morning,
I had some bug in my program, corrected, but founded some bug in gcc.
Demonstration of this problem is above.

Thanks for answer

I am sorry, for my very very very bad english.

Between this two examples is small difference, but with big differnce in follow-up process

Example1: good version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
				printf("1");
				zaz3=NULL;
				for(i=0;i<nalezeno_ffff;i+=(8/velzaz))
					for(j=0;j<(8/velzaz);j++)
					{
						if(zar->archiv_start[i+j]);
						{
							printf("2");
							zaz2=zar->archiv_start[i+j];
							if(zaz3)
							{
								zaz3->next_sprpor=zaz2;
								zaz2->prev_sprpor=zaz3;
								zaz3=zaz2;
							}
							else
								zar->archiv_zaznamy_sprpor=zaz3=zaz2;
						}
					}
Output is "1222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222" and continued



Example2: bad version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
				printf("1");
				zaz3=NULL;
				for(i=0;i<nalezeno_ffff;i+=(8/velzaz))
					for(j=0;j<(8/velzaz);j++)
						if(zar->archiv_start[i+j]);
						{
							printf("2");
							zaz2=zar->archiv_start[i+j];
							if(zaz3)
							{
								zaz3->next_sprpor=zaz2;
								zaz2->prev_sprpor=zaz3;
								zaz3=zaz2;
							}
							else
								zar->archiv_zaznamy_sprpor=zaz3=zaz2;
						}

Output is "12" and not continued
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


there are the same data, it maybe some BUG

difference is between brace after
					for(j=0;j<(8/velzaz);j++)

If there are not braces after " for(j=0;j<(8/velzaz);j++) ", then cycle is not functional.


this examples was compiled using this command line:
  gcc xxx.c -o xxx -Wall -finline-functions
