There is no 93 you are right as I
clipped the header. Mea culpa.
As for optimizing the arguments away, wouldn't this be the case for all
the lines referencing argc in the main()? But is this the typical
"error" for such a case?
I get the message after stepping over the first line in main and then
when I get to line 3 (in main) then I get
#0 main (argc=191860, argv=0xb7f49850) at hello.c:94
(94 is the line "glutInitWindowSize (250, 250);" in main)
If you say this is normal behaviour then fine, but I haven't experienced
it before. I would be interested to hear if you get the same.
