Description Pétur Runólfsson 2004-08-10 09:31:14 UTC
In src/ios_init.cc:

  bool 
  ios_base::sync_with_stdio(bool __sync)
  { 
    // _GLIBCXX_RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS
    // 49.  Underspecification of ios_base::sync_with_stdio
    bool __ret = ios_base::Init::_S_synced_with_stdio;

    // Turn off sync with C FILE* for cin, cout, cerr, clog iff
    // currently synchronized.
    if (!__sync && __ret)
      {
        ios_base::Init::_S_synced_with_stdio = __sync;

        // Explicitly call dtors to free any memory that is
        // dynamically allocated by filebuf ctor or member functions,
        // but don't deallocate all memory by calling operator delete.
        buf_cout_sync.~stdio_sync_filebuf<char>();
        buf_cin_sync.~stdio_sync_filebuf<char>();
        buf_cerr_sync.~stdio_sync_filebuf<char>();

This is fine, except that there is no guarantee that buf_cout_sync and friends
have been constructed before this gets run. If the objects haven't been
constructed, the program segfaults.

A simple fix would be to construct an ios_base::Init object at the beginning
of the block.

Test case

This works fine with 3.2.3 and 3.3.4, but segfaults with 3.4.1 and 3.5.

Thanks, Pétur.
