Hi

OK, I still can't get a particular module in my project to compile with
-O2 optimization. It compiles fine with -O0 and -O1 but I want it to run as fast
as possible because it contains functions that are called MANY times
during the main game loop.

Heres the exact error message I get...

gcc -O2 -c icsal.c
Stack Fault at eip=d5d17

  0x000283d7
make.exe: *** [icsal.o] Error 1

I've tried using the suggested remedy of putting 'unsigned _stklen = 1048576'
into the code to enlarge the stack but it made no difference!

Help! Anyone got any ideas what's happening and how I can cure it?

Thanks in advance,

-Chris
