[Speex-dev] Re: sigsegv in _mm_load_ups (linux/gcc 3.x)

[Jean-Marc Valin]

That's definitely strange and I've never encountered that. Normally, the
only way for _mm_load_ups to generate a segfault is for the input to be
invalid memory, in which case the C version should crash too. I suspect
the compiler (or something else) may be hiding the real problem. Can you
get a debugger and see exactly what assembly statement is causing the
crash and what the operands are?
