            Bug ID: 63489
           Summary: stack allocated array pointer corrupted
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

test case

The attached code, when compiled as
g++ -g -O2 testcase.cxx  -o testcase && ./testcase

and run, produces:
Try 0x7fff1cbe0a00 0x7fff1cbe0a00
Perm exit:  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
GO 0x7fff1cbe0a00
Try2 0x100000000 0x100000000 
Segmentation fault

The lines "Try" and "Try2" should be identical, as they refer to the same
stack-allocated array perm[]. Running under valgrind is clean until the last
line of ldlt_test() is encountered (which is clearly a segfault as perm is a
bad pointer).

Compiling without -O2 changes something, and the code crashes differently. I
can supply a larger test case (from which this was created) that shuold produce
meaningful answers if the code works correctly, but it will need to be provided
privately for IP reasons.
