[loic.leguyader@laposte.net: Bug#105223: GCC failed to compile this programme]

reassign 105223 gcc
thanks

Good spotting, and the english is fine. Only thing that was wrong was
it was against "base" instead of gcc, but that's fixed with this mesage.

Subject: Bug#105223: GCC failed to compile this programme
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org>

Package: base
Version: N/A; reported 2001-07-14
Severity: important

The programme is:
#include<stdio.h>

void retenue_f(unsigned long a, unsigned long b, unsigned long
               c) 
{
    unsigned long f;
    unsigned long long tmp;

    printf("%lu, %lu, %lu\n", a, b, c);
    
    tmp = c+b;
    f = tmp%10;
    tmp = (unsigned long long)f + a;
    while(tmp >= 10)
            ;
}

int main(void)
{

    unsigned long r=1, s=2, t=3;
    
    retenue_f(r, s, t);
    return 0;
}
--------------------------
When you compile it with gcc -Wall -O2 -o bug bug.c and then when you
execute it, you have 1, 0, 2 displayed instead of 1, 2, 3. That mean
the b argument of the function retenue_f is 0 instead of 2.
I can't reduce the programme more to obtain the bug, so all the ligne
were required. Note that the -O2 flag is also required.
I've tell some pepole to try this programme and they obtain the bug
too. Some of them use woody.

PS:please excuse my bad english speaking cause I'm french man.
