gcc 2.95.2: Internal compiler error in `find_function_data', at function.c:542

[Dan Halbert <halbert at bbn dot com>]

This minimal program:

========================
class Testclass {
public:
    static const int LENGTH;

    char chars[LENGTH];
    int i;

    void testclass1() { i = 1; };
    void testclass2() { i = 2; };
};

const int Testclass::LENGTH = 3;
==========================

generates this error:
p.cpp: In method `void Testclass::testclass2()':
p.cpp:9: Internal compiler error in `find_function_data', at function.c:542
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport> for instructions.

Deleting various lines of this program removes the error:
1. The static const must be initialized outside the class declaration.
2. There must be two member functions.
3. The "int i" must be present and used in a function.
4. the chars[LENGTH] must be present.
