This little code compiles with both GCC and Clang, but gives different results:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
__int128_t test=10;
while(test>0){
int myTest=(int)test;
printf("? %d\n", myTest);
test--;
}
}
With GCC this counts from 10 down to 1, the intended behaviour, while for Clang it keeps on counting into negative numbers. With Clang, if I replace test--
with test-=1
then it gives the expected behaviour as well.
__int128_t is a GCC extension, so the above results only apply to non-standard C, so maybe __int128_t is "use at your own risk" in Clang.
Is this a bug in Clang, or did I make some mistake I'm not seeing?
EDIT: I'm using gcc (MacPorts gcc48 4.8-20130411_0) 4.8.1 20130411 (prerelease) and Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60) (based on LLVM 3.1svn).
This was a bug in Clang, which was resolved somewhere between Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60) (based on LLVM 3.1svn) and Apple LLVM version 4.2 (clang-425.0.28) (based on LLVM 3.2svn), see the comments -- thanks Carl and H2CO3.
