SYMPTOMS
========
Incorrect code is generated for a comparison such as
if (!(i > 0))
when it is compiled with both the /Og and /Ob1.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around the problem disable either the /Ob1 or /Og optimization.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information

MORE INFORMATION
================
The following code is output.
i=7<BR/>
Error!<BR/><BR/>
It should output the following:
i=7<BR/>
i=6<BR/>
i=5<BR/>
i=4<BR/>
i=3<BR/>
i=2<BR/>
i=1<BR/>
i=0<BR/>
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
Compile the following code with /Og and /Ob1.
#include <stdio.h>
class C
{
public:
C(int i) { mLow = i; mHigh = 0; }
int getByte(int i) const;
unsigned long mLow;
unsigned long mHigh;
};
inline int C::getByte(int i) const
{
if (i < 4)
return (mLow >> (i << 3)) & 0xFF;
else
return (mHigh >> ((i - 4) << 3)) & 0xFF;
}
int main()
{
C h (1);
int i = 7;
for ( i = 7; ; i--) {
printf("i=%d\n",i);
if (h.getByte(i) != 0)
break;
if (!(i > 0)) { // Incorrect code
printf("Error!\n");
break;
}
}
return 1;
}
