Hi! I wanted to ask people here about this patch. See history in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43487 but basically there's some gcc out there that miscompiles zend_strtod.c. We can fix it, probably at some marginal performance cost, but the question is - should we? It's pre-release compiler and not in the latest version.

The problem was experienced by 5 persons at least. "Fixing" it would cost everybody, not fixing propably very marginal group using out-dated and buggy gcc..

So can anyone using non-prerelease gcc of any recent version - or non-gcc compiler even - reproduce this? Should we keep the change or just tell people "use working compiler"?

It was reported to happen with GCC 4.2.1..but is that recent enough? I would go with that "Get a working compiler" option..but you know me.. :D --Jani
