I just tried to compile the Suse Factory package xalan-c-1.10.0-1.3 with the GNU gcc version 4.5 snapshot 20090604.
The compiler hung for over 15 minutes on an idle machine. Preprocessed source code attached. No flags required. Compilation using gcc 4.3.2 takes seconds. -- Summary: compiler hang for C++ code Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: dcb314 at hotmail dot com GCC host triplet: x86_64-suse-linux http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40357
