Hi, this attempts to fix occasional segmentation faults that are present in the current snapshot, while previous snapshot was stable. I observed numerous crashes but all were non-reproducible, like the following example: In file included from /home/ed/gnu/gcc-build-1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/string:52:0, from /home/ed/gnu/gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/asan/asan_test_config.h:19, from /home/ed/gnu/gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/asan/asan_test_utils.h:17, from /home/ed/gnu/gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/asan/asan_globals_test.cc:12, from /home/ed/gnu/gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/asan/asan_globals_test-wrapper.cc:2: /home/ed/gnu/gcc-build-1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/basic_string.h:6277:22: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault 0xd7e17f crash_signal ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/toplev.c:337 0x8f23fe ggc_set_mark(void const*) ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/ggc-page.c:1546 0x7e6a5f gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:133 0x7e8c7a gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:235 0x7e8882 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:365 0x81b26d gt_ggc_mx_cp_binding_level(void*) ./gt-cp-name-lookup.h:72 0x7e6d85 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:648 0x7e8ad2 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:221 0x7e8eeb gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:337 0x7e8a3c gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:441 0x7e7304 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:606 0x81b352 gt_ggc_mx_cxx_binding(void*) ./gt-cp-name-lookup.h:60 0x7e6d85 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:648 0x7e8ef5 gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:336 0x7e8a3c gt_ggc_mx_lang_tree_node(void*) ./gt-cp-tree.h:441 0xb2edbe void gt_ggc_mx(vec*) ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/vec.h:1110 0xb2edbe gt_ggc_mx_vec_tree_va_gc_(void*) /home/ed/gnu/gcc-build-1/gcc/gtype-desc.c:1737 0xac59f5 ggc_mark_root_tab ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/ggc-common.c:77 0xac5c50 ggc_mark_roots() ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/ggc-common.c:94 0x8f2de7 ggc_collect() ../../gcc-8-20170514-1/gcc/ggc-page.c:2206 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. Please include the complete backtrace with any bug report. The following patch fixes one rather suspicious static tree object that did not have the GTY attribute, and was therefore apparently not in the GC root set. Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Is it OK for trunk? Thanks Bernd.
