Description Adam Seering 2013-03-14 20:38:48 UTC

This is a request to pull in a bugfix from upstream.  The upstream bug is:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56403
Further detail is specified at the upstream bug report.

Description of problem:
When I compile an example program (code included in the upstream report), I get an internal gcc error:

"""
internal compiler error: in build_zero_init_1, at cp/init.c:279
"""

Along with a request to report the bug.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.*
(Various versions of gcc from 4.2 through 4.7 are known to be affected.  See the upstream bug report.  gcc 4.4.5 on RHEL 6 has specifically been tested.)


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to compile the example code file included in the upstream bug report

  
Actual results:
gcc emits an internal error


Expected results:
gcc compiles the program.  (Or, alternatively but less preferably, gcc indicates that there's a code syntax error or some other input problem.)


Additional info:
This bug has been fixed upstream.  Details and discussion on the bug report in question.  The fix has been backported through gcc 4.6 already.  The fix appears to be a very simple one-line change.

Just checking back in:  Is there anything I can do to help with this bug?  What's the next step?

Comment 5 Dagmar Prokopová 2013-08-15 13:45:01 UTC
