Subject: bug Ada Verdix SUN : segmentation fault at compil time
Message-ID: <9304111219.AA09332@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

I tried to send this direct to the poster but apparently

a computer in France is taking Easter Sunday off.

I was once plaqued by "segmentation fault" on a Verdix compiler
on a Unix machine.  After much work I traced it down to the fact
that the code generation code assumed that a math co-processor was
present in the machine.  My machine did not have a math co-processor
so I got segmentaion errors.  I recall that I used a case statement
to isolate the problem.  When the code generator genertaed the code
for computing the address for the case statement branching it asssumed
the presence of the math co-processor.
That was 6 years ago and not on a Sun computer.  Let me know what
you find.
