When compiling some code with the default optimization (-O) I get *9*
copies of this message:
uopt: Warning: harmless compiler bug detected (LDA length 0); please
report to MIPS
"harmless compiler bug" sounds like being "a little pregnant". Has
anyone seen this and what should I do about it?
The apparent compiler version is 2.0:
f77 (f77)
Mips Computer Systems 2.0
and the compile line is:
f77 -O -static -o fubar mipsn.f
I'm using the -static because the SAVE statement isn't working (and/or
my understanding of it is wrong. The latter wouldn't surprise me).
Note: can't upgrade, so a workaround would be very much appreciated!

Has >anyone seen this and what should I do about it? Yes, we already know of this. The message is harmless and does not affect the code at all. It has been removed from our uopt. What happens is that when you have a null string, then (LDA length 0) will be generated. This cannot be avoided. -- UUCP: {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!lilian (or lilian@mips.com) DDD: 408-991-7848 Lilian Leung (or 408-720-1700, Ext. 848) USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 Arques, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-3650
