Yes it happens with 2.16.1cvs20051109-1 too. > If so, can you by chance offer a sample environment that's something smaller > than "start eclipse" as a means of reproducing this bug? c++filt should by > all rights be a very simple program, and I'd be surprised if c++filt was > actually hanging for any reason that wasn't a bug in the caller (i.e., gcj). Sorry. I wrote a small Java programm (attached) that shows the problem too. To reproduce the problem do this: gcj-4.0 -C BinutilsTest.java gij-4.0 Binutils gij-4.0 will hangs when trying to print the stack trace. Any other free or non-free VM does this fine. GCJ uses the external programs c++filt and addr2line to implement this task (no other does this). I guess this is a binutils bug becuase when downgrading to an older binutils (2.16.1-3).
