RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Codrut Grosu 2015-08-07 13:21:20 UTC 
Hello,

I'm a CentOS 6.6 user and I'm using the default GCC (4.4.7) compiler of CentOS 6.6.

I'm trying to use the gcov tool for my code in CentOS 6.6 with gcc 4.4.7 and I have the same problem that was reported at [1].

I send an email to Richard Biener to fix the bug for the gcc 4.4.7 but he told me that gcc 4.4.7 is no longer maintained.

The bug was fixed for gcc 4.8.0 and above .

He also added that I should "talk with the boys from RedHat to backport the patch to their compiler".

I hope that you boys can do your magic again and fix this bug.

The fact that CentOS 6 will be maintained until 2020 gives me confidence that you'll do your best to fix this bug.

I'm puting this bug here because on https://www.centos.org/forums they told me to report the bug to RedHat on bugzilla.redhat.com .

[1] : https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49484 [^]



Thanks,
Codrut Grosu.

P.S. Sorry for my English... I'm better with vim :D :P
