Package: g++ Version: 3.3-1 First of all, I want to say thank you for a great magazine. I happened to stumble upon a little bug just now that I thought you might want to hear about, since I did not find it reported anywhere.
The following code causes g++ to segfault: === test.cc === namespace ns { typedef int integer; } struct ns::integer i; === end === $ g++ test.cc test.cc:2: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. The expected behaviour occurs when not using a namespace: === test2.cc === typedef int integer; struct integer i; === end === $ g++ test2.cc test2.cc:2: error: using typedef-name `integer' after `struct' test2.cc:2: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `i' with no type When the erroneous `struct' at test.cc:2 is replaced by `enum' or `class', g++ still segfaults. I don't know anything about the inner workings of g++, so unfortunately I cannot hypothesize the cause of the problem. Anyway, I hope the fix is an easy one!
