5.2: busybox dc erroneous output

[dentonlt]

busybox dc runs, but its output is always the same (perhaps an error code value or just MAX): 6.05096e-270.

Try: 'dc 10 1 add p' or 'dc 10 100 div p'

Since this occurs in base, I expect it's going to be a problem until 5.3 at least the next 5.3rc.

Same problem on both 32-bit and Pure 64. -

I see the same in the x86. It works properly in piCore 5.2 on the Raspberry Pi.

It still happens in 1.22.1 too. Will check further.

see above, it works with x86_64, but not x86...

Didn't check the new one, but in my previous test build in 4.7.7 against eglibc an using the older GCC it is working.

It turned out to be a GCC bug. I propose a rebuild of the current version on 4.x, to minimize any possible issues from a version upgrade at the same time.

..strange that gcc-4.7.2 is used for both core and corepure64, but dc only fails with x86

[curaga]

It's some combination of optimization that triggers it, so not seeing on another arch is expected.

[bmarkus]

Which GCC versions have this bug?

[curaga]

I don't know exactly, beyond 4.7.2.
