Well, that is the correct answer. Smilie To elaborate a bit, the code you show is going to overwrite 10 bytes of something else nearby to "destination". Previously you must have had something expendable in those 10 bytes. But you made some changes and now something critical is being placed nearby. Most compilers have options to display the assembler code being generated. Obtain the assembler code for both versions and figure out what was being overlaid in both versions if you really feel the need to know.

hwloc-assembler-remote

HWLOC-ASSEMBLER-REMOTE(1)					       hwloc						 HWLOC-ASSEMBLER-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       hwloc-assembler-remote - Assemble multiple remote host topologies

SYNOPSIS

       hwloc-assembler-remote [options] output.xml host1 host2 ...

OPTIONS

       --ssh <ssh>
	      Use the given ssh command (and options) to connect to remote hosts.

       --lstopo-path <path>
	      Use  the	given path as the remote lstopo command when gathering remote topologies.  By default, lstopo is taken from the PATH envi-
	      ronment variable.

       --lstopo-opts <opts>
	      Pass the given lstopo options when gathering remote topologies.

       --show Display the resulting topology before exit.

       -v --verbose
	      Verbose messages.

DESCRIPTION

       hwloc-assembler-remote is a frontend to hwloc-assembler.  It takes care of retrieving the remote nodes' topologies before  assembling  them
       with hwloc-assembler.

EXAMPLES

       To assemble three nodes topologies:

	   $ hwloc-assembler-remote output.xml host1 host2 host3

       To assemble the topology of a multi-process MPI job defined as a machinefile:

	   $ hwloc-assembler-remote output.xml `cat machinefile | sort | uniq`

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful execution, hwloc-assembler-remote returns 0.

       hwloc-assembler-remote will return nonzero if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to parse the command line.

SEE ALSO
