Comment 1 H. Peter Anvin 2008-03-02 15:05:51 UTC 
There is no bug here.  The original poster is complaining about gcc issuing a warning, but the code is correct.
Comment 2 David Brownell 2008-03-02 15:36:54 UTC 
I'm not sure I understand the rationale for this not being called a "bug" ...

But even if it's "just" a warninng, that's still a regression.  And so it should be fixed.
Comment 3 H. Peter Anvin 2008-03-02 15:53:55 UTC 
It's not a bug because the code is correct, both on the source and the binary level.
