49 # This test is actually testing for Digital C compiler optimizer bug,
50 # present in Dec C versions 5.* and 6.0 (used in Digital UNIX and VMS),
51 # found in December 1998. The bug was reported to Digital^WCompaq as
52 # DECC 2745 (21-Dec-1998)
53 # GEM_BUGS 7619 (23-Dec-1998)
54 # As of April 1999 the bug has been fixed in Tru64 UNIX 5.0 and is planned
55 # to be fixed also in 4.0G.
57 # The bug was as follows: broken code was produced for util.c:repeatcpy()
58 # (a utility function for the 'x' operator) in the case *all* these
59 # four conditions held:
62 # (2) "from" had the 8th bit on in its single character
63 # (3) count > 7 (the 'x' count > 16)
64 # (4) the highest optimization level was used in compilation
65 # (which is the default when compiling Perl)
67 # The bug looked like this (. being the eight-bit character and ? being \xff):
70 # 17 .........???????.
71 # 18 .........???????..
72 # 19 .........???????...
73 # 20 .........???????....
74 # 21 .........???????.....
75 # 22 .........???????......
76 # 23 .........???????.......
77 # 24 .........???????.???????
78 # 25 .........???????.???????.
80 # The bug was triggered in the "if (len == 1)" branch. The fix
81 # was to introduce a new temporary variable. In diff -u format:
83 # register char *frombase = from;
87 #+ register char c = *from;
94 # The bug could also be (obscurely) avoided by changing "from" to
95 # be an unsigned char pointer.
97 # This obscure bug was not found by the then test suite but instead
98 # by Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si while trying to install Digest-MD5-2.00.
