45 # The test #20 is actually testing for Digital C compiler optimizer bug,
46 # present in Dec C versions 5.* and 6.0 (used in Digital UNIX and VMS),
47 # found in December 1998. The bug was reported to Digital^WCompaq as
48 # DECC 2745 (21-Dec-1998)
49 # GEM_BUGS 7619 (23-Dec-1998)
50 # As of April 1999 the bug has been fixed in Tru64 UNIX 5.0 and is planned
51 # to be fixed also in 4.0G.
53 # The bug was as follows: broken code was produced for util.c:repeatcpy()
54 # (a utility function for the 'x' operator) in the case *all* these
55 # four conditions held:
58 # (2) "from" had the 8th bit on in its single character
59 # (3) count > 7 (the 'x' count > 16)
60 # (4) the highest optimization level was used in compilation
61 # (which is the default when compiling Perl)
63 # The bug looked like this (. being the eight-bit character and ? being \xff):
66 # 17 .........???????.
67 # 18 .........???????..
68 # 19 .........???????...
69 # 20 .........???????....
70 # 21 .........???????.....
71 # 22 .........???????......
72 # 23 .........???????.......
73 # 24 .........???????.???????
74 # 25 .........???????.???????.
76 # The bug was triggered in the "if (len == 1)" branch. The fix
77 # was to introduce a new temporary variable. In diff -u format:
79 # register char *frombase = from;
83 #+ register char c = *from;
90 # The bug could also be (obscurely) avoided by changing "from" to
91 # be an unsigned char pointer.
93 # This obscure bug was not found by the then test suite but instead
94 # by Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si while trying to install Digest-MD5-2.00.
