           Summary: Crashes when compiling large initialized arrays
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: gccBug dot 9 dot OkianWarrior at SpamGourmet dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: 3.3.1
  GCC host triplet: Linux 2.4.19-16mdk (Mandrake)
GCC target triplet: Linux 2.4.19-16mdk (Mandrake)

This is a simple program with large initialized static arrays (20 arrays of
200,000 elements each, plus a single array with 500,000 elements.

Compiling crashes the compiler after about an hour (900 MHZ system).
Reproduce by typing "Make" (Makefile included).
Actual results are listed below.
Compiling with -Wall shows no warnings.

I really hate to do this to you, but I believe that the problem is related to
initializing very large arrays. Consequently, I cannot generate a small program
which illustrates the problem (and it takes an hour for each experiment, which
doesn't help either). My minimal solution is a C source file of 152 lines
(inconsequential), and two include files of 200,000 lines and 500,000 lines
each. The include files contain initialization data for 21 arrays, and are
nothing more than a list of numbers and commas.

The total source and intermediate files are so BIG that I have not included them
here. I know I'm not supposed to send archives and I'm *really* not supposed to
ask you to download the test cases from the net, but in this instance I think
it's appropriate.

You can get the complete test set (1 source, 2 includes, Makefile, and saved
intermediate file) at www.OkianWarrior.com/gccBug.tar.gz
