Yesterday, one of my collegues ran into an internal compiler error when playing with some template code.
Although she ran into the ICE on Mac OS X with an Apple gcc 4.01 build, it was easy enough to reproduce it on a linux box with a GNU gcc build. I'm logging this against 4.2.1, but it seems every 4.x version segfaults; I tested with 4.02, 4.1-20060113 (yep, some old build laying around), 4.2.1 and even with the latest 4.3-20070713. I created a small test case (see attachment) and this is the output I get with 4.2.1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bugs/ice> ~/opt/gcc-4.2.1/bin/g++ -v -o test test.cpp Using built-in specs.
