Subject: Re: bug in check for stack growth direction in _AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 14:42:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DFD1BAB.40905@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87d3ic92sc.fsf@pobox.com>

Does it work to use the following test program instead?

int
find_stack_direction (char *addr)
{
  char dummy;
  return (! addr ? find_stack_direction (&dummy)
          : addr < &dummy ? 1 : -1);
}

int
main (void)
{
  return find_stack_direction (0) < 0;
}

This, essentially, is the fix I just pushed into the GNU
autoconf trunk, here:
