Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You enable the global optimization option (/Og) by enabling one of the following options:
-
/O1
-
/O2
-
/Ox
-
-
You build a Microsoft Visual C++ source file by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
-
The source file calls the setjmp function, the longjmp function, or both functions.
In this scenario, the compiler may use the same stack offset to store different local variables. Therefore, unexpected behavior may occur when you run the generated application.
Cause
This problem occurs because the optimizer does not account for the setjmp function or the longjmp function. This causes the optimizer to incorrectly calculate the lifetime of the local variables. When one variable is changed, another variable may be changed unexpectedly.
