Umm ... "miscompilation"? As in the compiler produced the wrong code
based on the input provided?
int * p;
...
a = *p;
movl p,%eax
movl (%eax),%edx
The assembly code appears to load the address stored at p (keep in mind
that p is a pointer), then use that address to fetch the value which is
placed in a. What do you believe should have been generated by the compiler?
