gcc 3.4 is very odd

Been having some wierd bugs turn up recently in my code. Stuff like simpling defining an integer array completely messes up an unrelated routine and causes my methods to diverge off to infinity. Very odd stuff indeed.

Switched the compiler back to 3.3, and am having absolutely no problems at all. Lucky that, because up until this afternoon I was seriously considering getting rid of the 3.3 branch. Very glad I didn’t now.

I suppose it could be my code that’s buggy, but considering it works with 3.3 flawlessly I’m wondering whether I’ve managed to somehow break my toolchain. I’ll just have to find another copy of 3.4 on another box and see if I run into the same problems.

All in all, a very odd day.
