I just tried to compile the following one liner C++ program with gcc version 4.4.0 snapshot 20081031.
auto enum : { do I've no idea what this lump of C++ is supposed to mean, but it hangs the snapshot at compile time for over ten minutes on an otherwise idle machine. The snapshot does print the warning message bug27.cc:2: warning: scoped enums only available with -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x before it hangs, which may mean some new code for scoped enums is broken. No optimisation flags required. -- Summary: C++ hang for new keywords Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 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: suse-linux-x86_64 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38021
