Package: g++-3.3 Version: 1:3.3.5-5 Severity: normal
Dear g++ maintainer, When running the following little program it appears that operator new fails to initialize the memory it allocates. For example, when I run the program I get the following output: 134517800 0 1074470752 1074986304 0 1 1 134517181 134517168 134515206 The program was compiled using both a plain `g++' command and `g++ -Wall -fexceptions'. No warnings are reported and compilation proceeds flawlessly. Here is the program; ------------------------------------------------ #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; void showalloc() { int *ip = new int [10]; copy(ip, ip + 10, ostream_iterator<int>(cerr, " ")); cout << endl; delete [] ip; } void thrower() { try { throw 0; // remove this to obtain memory initialized to 0 } catch(...) {} } int main() { thrower(); showalloc(); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------ When the `throw 0;' statement is removed the memory comes out neatly initialized. The program's output in that case is: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kind regards, Frank B.
