bug report: bit flip in address increment

[exihea]

Hi,

I saw one bit flip in the address incrementation. Here is a simple example to demonstrate that

test.c
------------------------------------------------------------------
#include
#include

typedef struct mystruct_s{
char data[1920];
}site;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{


int i;
int sites_on_node = 28*28*28*96;
unsigned long size = sites_on_node*sizeof(site);
site* lattice = (site*)malloc(size);
if (lattice == NULL){
printf("ERROR: malloc failed for lattice\\n");
exit(1);
}
site* s;
int j;
for(i=0, s=lattice; i < sites_on_node; i++, s++){
if (s < lattice || s > (lattice + sites_on_node)){
printf("ERROR: wrong address\\n");
exit(1);
}
if (i > 1118479&& i <= 1118485){
printf("i=%d, s=%p\\n", i, s); fflush(stdout);
}
for(j=0; j < 3; j++){
if (i > 1118479 && i <= 1118485){
printf("inside dir loop: i=%d, s=%p\\n", i, s); fflush(stdout);
}

s->data = 1;
}
}
printf("data=%d\\n", lattice[1024].data[0]);
printf("loop done\\n"); fflush(stdout);

return 0;
}



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling the code with icc 11.1, optimization level -O3 will make the program segfault. Compiling
with -O0 works. gcc works with -O0/-O3

loop done


Before it segfaults, there is a bit flop for the address "s"
s=0x7fb11bfd7710 ---> s=0x7fb01bfd7710

Please let me know if you can reproduce this problem
thanks

I can reproduce it. It looks like the compiler bug. I will report it to engineering team for fix.

Hello, looks like this got resolved in 11.1 update 7. Let us know if you have any further problems.
