68 # This test is actually testing for Digital C compiler optimizer bug,
69 # present in Dec C versions 5.* and 6.0 (used in Digital UNIX and VMS),
70 # found in December 1998. The bug was reported to Digital^WCompaq as
71 # DECC 2745 (21-Dec-1998)
72 # GEM_BUGS 7619 (23-Dec-1998)
73 # As of April 1999 the bug has been fixed in Tru64 UNIX 5.0 and is planned
74 # to be fixed also in 4.0G.
76 # The bug was as follows: broken code was produced for util.c:repeatcpy()
77 # (a utility function for the 'x' operator) in the case *all* these
78 # four conditions held:
81 # (2) "from" had the 8th bit on in its single character
82 # (3) count > 7 (the 'x' count > 16)
83 # (4) the highest optimization level was used in compilation
84 # (which is the default when compiling Perl)
86 # The bug looked like this (. being the eight-bit character and ? being \xff):
89 # 17 .........???????.
90 # 18 .........???????..
91 # 19 .........???????...
92 # 20 .........???????....
93 # 21 .........???????.....
94 # 22 .........???????......
95 # 23 .........???????.......
96 # 24 .........???????.???????
97 # 25 .........???????.???????.
99 # The bug was triggered in the "if (len == 1)" branch. The fix
100 # was to introduce a new temporary variable. In diff -u format:
102 # register char *frombase = from;
106 #+ register char c = *from;
107 # while (count-- > 0)
113 # The bug could also be (obscurely) avoided by changing "from" to
114 # be an unsigned char pointer.
116 # This obscure bug was not found by the then test suite but instead
117 # by Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si while trying to install Digest-MD5-2.00.
