Hi.
While testing my Code with various Compiler, the DMC-Compiled Win32-EXE crashed during qsort(). (No Problems with OW 1.2_W32, GCC 3.2.2_RedHat9)

The Array (of int) is allocated dynamic. Size is incremended on demand.

The Array is filled with from (int)1 upto numitems.
9437182 Items: Sort OK.
9437183: Crash during qsort().

Mixed mode (example with 10 Items: 6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5) does work with 12341234 Items but crashed with 20482048.
(I have not tested the switching Count.)

The Optimizer is already deactivated:
dmc.exe -c -w- -3 -f slist.c

Hm. Just locking at the Output: 9437183 is 0x008fffff !

CRASH !!

------------------ CUT !!! -----------------

Any Ideas ?

If you want the Source, Send me a Mail.

I could use a small test case source. -Walter
