Summary: memory exhausted compiling a destructor with an infinite 'for (;;);' loop Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: g...@abeckmann.de The following piece of code consumes all available memory when being compiled with g++ 4.5 or g++ 4.6 and optimization level -O2 or higher. It compiles correctly with g++ 4.4. gcc version 4.6.0 20110111 (experimental) (GCC) gcc version 4.5.3 20110110 (prerelease) (GCC) ===== 8< ===== struct V { V ( int = 0 ) ; ~V () { for ( ; ; ) ; } int size () ; } ; struct S { V a ; V b ; S () : b ( a . size () ) { } } ; S s ; ===== >8 ===== $ ulimit -v 7000000 # limited to about 7 GB ouf of my 8 GB of RAM so the machine does not start to swap heavily $ g++-trunk -O2 -c memhog.C virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory $ g++-trunk -v -O2 -c memhog.C Using built-in specs.
