Factor crash with GCC 4.3.x resolved

Monday, July 7, 2008

A few months ago, James Cash discovered that GCC 4.3.0 incorrectly compiles the Factor VM with -O3 (the default). The problem still exists on GCC 4.3.1, apparently on both x86 and x86.64. I finally found a very simple testcase and submitted a bug.
