[avr-gcc-list] Stack-allocated array bug

[Cory Cross]

Hi all,

I've been running into several problems with avr-gcc from the Debian 
unstable repo which is at version 4.3.5. I am compiling for ATMega168. 
This problem was also present going back to compilers from 2007.

All the problems traced down to a stack-allocated array whose pointer 
ends up being set at or near 0x100 (whether that's over end of RAM or 
not, I'm not sure), which when written starts clobbering the .data 
section. But it only seems to happen in complex cases.

Contrary to the names of the files, I'm not sure whether the following 
demonstrates what I'm saying.


In clobber.lss lines 50&51, r28 is set to 0xFF and r29 to 0x04.
In no-clobber.lss on the same lines, the same occurs.

In clobber.lss, r12&r13 become the address for adc_readings[8].
In no-clobber.lss, r22&r23 become the address for adc_readings[8].

But the setup is different in the no-clobber case. In clobber.lss lines 
107-110 differ from no-clobber.lss lines 102-104 even though I don't 
think they have to. This is the source of my problem I believe.

For now, I just can't have stack-allocated arrays :(.

Thanks for any help,
Cory
