             Bug #: 55497
           Summary: Local array (char[]) initialized with a size taken
                    from a static variable creates an ICE
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: greg.burri@gmail.com


The following lines (41+42) crashes GCC 4.7.2 with an "internal compiler error:
Segmentation fault" message:

https://github.com/Ummon/D-LAN/blob/1.1.0beta13/application/Core/FileManager/priv/Cache/DataWriter.cpp#L42


If the lines are rewritten as this, it compiles without crashing (obviously):

    static const quint32 BUFFER_SIZE = 42;
    char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];

It compiles well with GCC 4.6.2

Command line and GCC 4.7.2 message:

Please attach a self contained (and minimized) testcase, per the bug reporting
instructions.

Here we go, I attached the cpp file, just use this command line:

    g++ -g gcc_crash.cpp 

It compiles without issue if I omit the '-g' argument. It crashes on Ubuntu
12.10 and with mingw under Windows 7 both with GCC 4.7.2.

It takes me one hour to find the origin...

Actually the template is useless, the main point is this code put in a
constructor:

    static const int v = get(1); 
    char BUFFER[v];

Thanks a lot.

I can reproduce the issue with 4.7.2 but it's already fixed in current
4_7-branch and mainline. Thus I mean to add the testcase and close the PR.
