Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2.2-3
Severity: important

At least gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.1 but probably also earlier versions are affected
by a bug discussed on the linux-kernel list [1].

The following test program will result in "OMG,-10==10 in linux!" when
compiled with both gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.2.

int main( void )
{
int i=2;
if( -10*abs (i-1) == 10*abs(i-1) )
printf ("OMG,-10==10 in linux!
");
else
printf ("nothing special here
") ;

return 0 ;
}

Just tested that gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 are also affected.

Note that this issue is in theory pretty serious as in principle _any_
binary package in the archive could be affected.

A patch is available at:

Further information:

| int i = 2;
| int a = -10 * abs (i - 1);
| int b = 10 * abs (i - 1);
compiles to (original tree)
| int i = 2;
| int a = ABS_EXPR <i * -10 + 10>;
| int b = ABS_EXPR <i * 10 + -10>;

| int i = 2;
| int a = -10 * abs (i);
| int b = 10 * abs (i);
compiles to
| int i = 2;
| int a = ABS_EXPR <i> * -10;
| int b = ABS_EXPR <i> * 10;

Sarge and Etch versions of 3.3, 3.4 and 4.1 are affected as well.
gcc-2.95 (2.95.4-{22,27}) is _not_ affected.
