 We noticed a strange problem with C++ code casting long long variables

 =================
 double
 convert(long long l)
 {
 return (double)l; // or double(l)
 }

 int
 main(int argc, char * argv[])
 {
 long long l = 10;
 double f;

 f = convert(l);
 printf("convert: %lld => %f\n", l, f);
 return 0;
 }
 ====================

 output:
 convert: 10 => 0.000000

 C++ compiled via powerpc-angstrom-linux-g++ gives the above result.
 Compiling the same code as C using powerpc-angstrom-linux-gcc works
 fine. But when looking at the assembler code both compiler produce
 virtually identical output and both call __floatdidf to do the actual
 conversion. Very strange, has anyone ever seen similar effects?

Is this from a recent tree (i.e. post Richard Purdie's restructuring)?

I've seen similar problems with C++ code on Poky which uses the same changes.

No, I'm building everything from the stable branch. There were some commits cherry-picked from .dev but those only add Qt 4.5.2.

Poky is ARM only, right? Perhaps it would be helpfull to build a compiler from .dev and for a widely used powerpc-platform? How does n1200 sound? It uses the same ppc603e.
