Hi,
I have a working gcc HEAD build from about 2 weeks ago. If you send me some
standalone test code, I would be happy to test it.
I also have 2.95.3 too and will test with both.
Just create a main with a call to printtrace and have printtrace print all
the values and just return and I will test it for you.
Take care,
Kevin
