I just tried to compile the following C++ code with most recent snapshot of gcc version 4.4, dated 20080912.
# include <iostream> # include <math.h> using namespace std; int main() { for (size_t i = 0; i < 16; ++i) { cout << i << ' ' << sqrt( i) << '\n'; } return 0; }; The compiler said feb25.cc:15: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
