Dear Dr. Gerwinski, dear GPC-ers,

After having installed the new version of gpc all my sources (originally written for Turbo Pascal, hundreds of them) are compiled smoothly, BUT ONE. Here is the story:

System description:

SunOS mph 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2

GPC description:

GNU Pascal version 19991030, based on 2.95.2 19991024 (release), compiled Nov 1$ Copyright (C) 1987, 89, 92-97, 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Here I try compiling:

gpc --borland-pascal -o sj sj.p sj.p: In function `Gjgt_dec_new': sj.p:466: Internal compiler error in `emit_library_call_value', at calls.c:3198 Please submit a full bug report. See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport> for instructions.

Additional information:

1. The corresponding area in the source is:

465 x := sqrt( beta * w ) ; 466 y := 0.5 * alfa / x ; 467 z := 0.5 * gama / x ;

2. another source (named ej.p) which differs from sj.p ONLY in having 'extended' whenever sj.p has 'single', COMPILES AND EXECUTES SMOOTHLY.

3. On my PC-Linux with the gpc version

GNU Pascal version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1, compiled Jul 6 1999 16:08:58. Copyright (C) 1987, 89, 92-97, 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

all sources, including the incriminated sj.p, compile OK.

Yes, that's a known bug, under exactly the circumstances you observed (one operand is Single or Double, and only on Sparc). I think I found the cause of the bug, and if so, it will be fixed in the next release, but I've yet to test it well.
