Re: c++/9433: [3.2/3.3/3.4 regression] SegFault in dynamic_cast

Old Synopsis: memory fault
New Synopsis: [3.2/3.3/3.4 regression] SegFault in dynamic_cast

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: bangerth
State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 24 15:22:42 2003
State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed (one x86 linux). It used to work with 2.95, but is broken in
    3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 branches/CVS. The following slightly
    simplified testcase shows the same behavior (the class
    hierarchy is an exercise in applied graph theory :-)
    -------------------------------
    struct A        { virtual ~A() {}; };
    struct B        {};
    struct C : A, B {};
    struct D : C    {};
    struct E : C    {};
    struct F : protected D, E {};
    struct H : virtual F {};
    struct I : H    {};
    struct J : H    {};
    struct K : I, J {};
    struct M : K    {};
    struct N : M    {};
    struct O : M    {};
    struct P : N, O {};
    
    int main() {
      P obj;
      A* a1 = (D*)&obj;
      dynamic_cast<H*>(a1);
    }
    -------------------------------
    The Segfault happens in the runtime support libs (with 3.4):
