            Bug ID: 58144
           Summary: Receive "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate
                    memory" while compiling
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: amit.chitnis at gmail dot com

g++ (GCC) 4.4.6 20130305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4).

Steps to reproduce

1. create a small hello world program with iostream,stdio.h and stdlib.h
using namespace std;

2. create a big file (say 900M) named "new" in a location which is a part of
your include path.

3. Compile the hello world cpp and it should fail with the above error. This
seems to be because of the size and name of the file created in step 2 above.

 g++ -g -pthread -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/performance -o helloworld.o
-c helloworld.cpp

file "new" was created at location /opt/performance/

This is your problem, <new> is a standard header so you must not replace it.
