[Ecls-list] Critical bug

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Hi,

I have fixed a long standing bug in ECL. Namely, C variables in
compiled code were not always declared volatile. As of now, when a
function uses setjmp(), all variables, including function arguments,
are declared volatile and thus their value is preserved during calls
of THROW, GOTO, etc.

This problem caused several failures in the tests from Paul Dietz's
random code generator, which uses really weird combinations of catch
and throw to stress test the compiler.

This fix should not be problematic in non Unix platforms, but I have
not tested it with the MSVC compiler yet.
