[ECOS] Compiler bug (arm-elf-gcc)?

[llandre]

I experienced  a strange problem in the file hal_misc.c (hal\arm\arch),
function
cyg_hal_invoke_constructors.
The following loop
    for (p = &__CTOR_END__[-1]; p >= __CTOR_LIST__; p--)
        (*p) ();
causes a never-ending loop because the pointer p is never decremented.

I changed it as follows
    for (p = &__CTOR_END__[-1]; p >= __CTOR_LIST__; )
   {
        (*p) ();
        p--;
   }
and now its behavior is correct.

It it really a compiler bug (arm-elf-gcc 2.95.2)?

Thanks in advance.
