From: Glenn Engel <glenne@hplsla.hp.com> Elmto: bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu (g++ bugs) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 90 11:20:31 PST X-Mailer: Elm [version 1.7] compiler: g++1.36.3 for hp9k320g. source: int *j; short * &p = (short *) j; int * &q = j; The initialization of q is fine, however the initialization of p is done by reading the contents of j. I expected both p and q to point to j. #NO_APP gcc_compiled.: .globl _p .data .even _p: .long __$tmp_0 .globl _q .even _q: .long _j .text .even .globl __GLOBAL_$I$p __GLOBAL_$I$p: link a6,#0 movel _j,__$tmp_0 L1: unlk a6 rts .stabs "___CTOR_LIST__",22,0,0,__GLOBAL_$I$p .lcomm __$tmp_0,4 .comm _j,4 Casts are not lvalues. cfront says "sorry, not implemented: initializer for static reference not an lvaue". Maybe GNU C++ should give a similar warning. Michael
