I noticed that I am getting C++ failures in my GCC build/test runs and it looks like it is due to one of the changes made to the gnu assembler by Richard Sandiford or Maciej W. Rozycki on December 1 or 2. I haven't really got a good handle on the problem yet, but when running the C++ tests using the latest assembler I get a lot of messages like: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc FAIL: 20_util/allocator/8230.cc execution test The failures always involve 'terminate called after throwing....' and go away if I use an older assembler. I would like to understand what is happening and fix it before 2.21 is released. Steve Ellcey sje@cup.hp.com
