The following invalid testcase triggers an ICE since gcc 4.0.0: =============================== struct A { static void foo() = 0; }; ===============================
The error message is: bug.cc:3: internal compiler error: in grokfield, at cp/decl2.c:899 Please submit a full bug report, [etc.] The respective code from cp/decl2.c reads: /* Initializers for functions are rejected early in the parser. If we get here, it must be a pure specifier for a method. */ gcc_assert (TREE_CODE (TREE_TYPE (value)) == METHOD_TYPE); gcc_assert (error_operand_p (init) || integer_zerop (init)); DECL_PURE_VIRTUAL_P (value) = 1; Apparently the first assert is triggered - we have a FUNCTION_TYPE instead of a METHOD_TYPE in this example. This was probably broken by Giovanni's patch for PR17401. -- Summary: [4.0/4.1 regression] ICE on pure specifier for static method Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: ice-on-invalid-code, monitored Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,giovannibajo at libero dot it http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23266
