Actually, perhaps compiler 'bug' is not what's going on here, but rather a configuration issue of cygwin/GCC. > Is there a way to test from what file the type definition for "Char" is > being resolved? > Perhaps I am picking up some other typedef? I suspect that it is what is happening, but I don't really know very much about the cygwin/GCC development environment, so I'm afraid I can't answer that. > > Have you tried looking at the disassembly of the two individual functions > to > > see what the compiler thingks is going on?

Unfortunately, looking at the disassembly is the only sure way to figure out what's going on. If you want you can send me the disassembly dumps through Nortel corporate email and I'll see if I can spot the problem... > > BTW: Is this the same Gregg Woodcock who works for Nortel? > > One and the same!
