Description jostle 2003-08-01 01:18:22 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
gcc crashes with the message
internal error: Segmentation fault
even with the absolute minimum program

int main() {}

This must be caused by some change in the environment as gcc has been working
fine previously.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the minimal program

with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Additional info:

I suspect (and hope) that after a reboot, which I will do now, things will get
back to normal.

I realise that the cause of this problem could be extremely difficult to
identify. I am submitting this bug report more as a means of documenting the
occurrence of this situation.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2003-08-01 10:41:31 UTC
That must be problem on your end, likely hardware or maybe kernel.
We obviously could not ship a compiler which would not compile such trivial
program.
