Re: [PD-dev] amd64: rsqrt~

...

The rsqrt bug is not guaranteed to manifest itself because memory layout decisions made by the compiler may very well hide the bug, e.g. if the area clobbered by the buffer overflow is left unused.

so still not knowing what might happen: it seems to be a buffer overflow that crashes pd as soon as the [rsqrt~]-object is created ? (or the dsp is turned on ??)

pd didn't start up ... interrupting the pd process showed that it's in the process of filling the rsqrt lookup table ...

matju's guess, that the loop counter has been overridden might be a reasonable explanation ... fit's more or less to what i've experienced ...
