Bug #: 55453
Summary: Bug with virtual methods and objects with dtors.
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: blitzmun...@gmail.com
Hi,
Mingw G++ appears to have a bug involving multiple inheritance and virtual
methods that return objects with dtors.
I have tried on 3 ditros - nuwen, tdm and the official mingw distro - and it
happens on all g++ versions >= 4.7.0.
It does not appear to occur on Linux, although I've only been able to test with
kubuntu12 and mint14, both of which have g++ 4.7.2 installed.
Even though this appears to be mingw specific, I've already posted this bug
report on the mingw bug reports system and they told me to post it here.
Anyway, see below code: The problem occurs when the 'interface method'
LinkResolver is called by the markdown object. The correct method is invoked,
but the 'this' pointer is messed up.
The trigger seems to be the String dtor. Remove this, or have the interface
method return a simple type, and it works as expected.
Bye!
Mark

virtual String ResolveLink() {

return String();
}
};
struct Markdown {
LinkResolver * _resolver;
Markdown(LinkResolver * resolver) : _resolver(resolver) { }
void Go() {
_resolver->ResolveLink();
}
};
int main() {
printf("GCC %d.%d.%d\n", __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__);
Docs d;
printf(" main() &d: %p\n", &d);
d.ResolveLink();
Markdown m(&d);
m.Go();
}
