1.00 WINDOWS kbtool kbfixlist kbbuglist ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with: Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Executing a program built from the sample code shown below after compiling with the optimizing compiler causes the program to hang, crash, or generate a General Protection Fault. CAUSE ===== The code generated for the return statements in the Test() function contains incorrect JMP instructions. RESOLUTION ========== To work around the problem, use the fast compiler instead of the optimizing compiler. Use of the fast compiler can be forced by compiling with the /f switch. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with C/C++ for MS-DOS version 8.0. This problem was corrected with C/C++ for MS-DOS version 8.0c, include with Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.5. MORE INFORMATION ================ The incorrect code can be seen by either generating a code listing file with the /Fc compiler option or by running the executable built from the sample code in the CodeView debugger. The code generated for the two return statements in the Test() function specify the wrong displacement for the JMP instructions. Sample Code ----------- /* Compile options needed: /f- * * This sample code must also be compiled as a .CPP file. */ double Test(const double x, double& dt); double dub; void main(void) { Test(0.0, dub); } double Test(const double x, double& dt) { if(x == 0.0) return dt = 1.0; double y; _asm { fld x fld st(0) frndint fxch fsub st(0),st(1) f2xm1 fld1 faddp st(1),st(0) fscale fst st(1) fld1 fdiv st(0),st(1) fadd st(2),st(0) fsubp st(1),st(0) fdivrp st(1),st(0) fst y fmul st(0),st(0) fld1 fsubrp st(1),st(0) les bx,DWORD PTR dt fstp QWORD PTR es:[bx] fwait } return y; } Additional reference words: 1.00 8.00 inline assembly KBCategory: kbtool kbfixlist kbbuglist KBSubcategory: CodeGen
