<pre wrap="">Hi,
I didn't see anything about this in the mailing-list archive. I just
installed 1.5.7 and ran the
tests. I saw one failure, in nbest-optimize-bleu. I looked at the
code briefly; the output is coming from nbest-optimize.cc:1179, but
that's about as far as I got. I built on Mac OS 10.4.11 using
this compiler version:
~/work/srilm--$ c++ --version
i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)
I can try another system if that will help, or let me know if anyone
wants more information.
Thanks,
Ken Basye

It turns out this problems seems to affect compilation with gcc 4.2 on all
the platforms I tried (Linux, Solaris), so I assume it's the same bug as
you describe. The problem has to do with expression evaluation order
when the expression has side effects (++ operator).
You can apply the following patch, or download the beta release
(which also has some other fixes for BLEU optimization).
