Description of problem: This is an odd one. It was first seen with "real" code but the reproducer is simply this: create a file "foo.cc" with nothing but: #include <iostream> then build it in 2 steps: g++ -g -S foo.cc g++ -g foo.s foo.s: Assembler messages: foo.s:155: Error: file number 2 already allocated If I do it in 1 step as normal: g++ -g foo.cc it works just fine. There is at least 1 package in Fedora (I forget which one right now) that for some reason does this in 2 steps and breaks. I realize you may not have easy access to an ia64 box. I will attach the .s file which I imagine might be helpful. Don't hesitate to ask me to try things out to get more info. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-4.3.0-0.11 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 297101 [details] asm file from g++ -g -S foo.cc
User error. You can't use -g twice. Either you use -g to compile foo.cc, then foo.s will already contain debug info, or you assemble with -g and the assembler adds debugging info for the assembler. If you both compile with -g, the assembler already contains debug info and thus adding assembler debug info for it is a bug.
Thanks, I will get the offending package to fix their makefiles. - Doug
