Bug ID: 58144
Summary: Receive "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate
memory" while compiling
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: amit.chitnis at gmail dot com
g++ (GCC) 4.4.6 20130305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4).
Steps to reproduce
1. create a small hello world program with iostream,stdio.h and stdlib.h
using namespace std;
2. create a big file (say 900M) named "new" in a location which is a part of
your include path.
3. Compile the hello world cpp and it should fail with the above error. This
seems to be because of the size and name of the file created in step 2 above.
g++ -g -pthread -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/performance -o helloworld.o
-c helloworld.cpp
file "new" was created at location /opt/performance/
