Yeah, but does not help here. My thinking: if the compiler that calls import_iovec() has garbage in the upper 32 bit a) gcc will zero it out and not rely on it being zero. b) clang will not zero it out, assuming it is zero. But a) will zero it out when calling the !inlined variant b) clang will zero it out when calling the !inlined variant When inlining, b) strikes. We access garbage. That would mean that we have calling code that's not generated by clang/gcc IIUC. We can test easily by changing the parameters instead of adding an "inline". -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
