Subject: gcc-4.5.3 segfaults wrt alloca
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:58:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111209105801.GA10388@po8371> (raw)
I use the latest packages and cygwin snapshots. The problem described
below began several snapshots in the past, around beginning of December.
The following program, with static allocation of a reasonable amount
of data, segfaults, maybe in alloca(). With a smaller size
(eg 10000) it's ok. With new/malloc (even with 100 times more) it's
ok. With C or C++. 100% reproducible.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Denis Excoffier.
