bug.cc:1: internal compiler error: in build_zero_init, at cp/init.c:252 Please submit a full bug report, [etc.] This is because build_zero_init doesn't handle COMPLEX_TYPE and VECTOR_TYPE. Before GCC 3.3 the code was rejected. -- Summary: [4.0/4.1/4.2 regression] ICE with new and complex/vector types Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: ice-on-valid-code, monitored Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28450
