Description Giovanni Bajo 2004-12-30 13:18:22 UTC
Hello,

the code I will attacch shortly is a (partial) reduction from a multi-thousands 
line testcase from Boost which fails with 4.0.

This is the link to the failure in the automatic testers:

Reduced testcase (but not minimal)
Comment 2 Steven Bosscher 2004-12-30 13:22:04 UTC
A regression from what?  Does 3.4 accept it?
Comment 3 Giovanni Bajo 2004-12-30 13:51:24 UTC
3.4 is broken too, it's a regression from 3.3 actually.
Comment 4 Andrew Pinski 2004-12-30 14:27:09 UTC
Reduced testcase:
template <class C> struct if_t { typedef int type; };
template <class T> struct ffff { static const bool value = true; };
template <class A>
struct bound_member_action
{
  typedef char f[ffff<A>::value ? 1 : 2];
  template <class CT>
  bound_member_action(CT i, typename if_t<f>::type g)  {}
};
bound_member_action<int> a(0, 1);



: Search converges between 2004-01-27-trunk (#442) and 2004-01-28-trunk (#443).

Just a note that date is when it started to seg fault.
We started to reject this (and not an ICE):
: Search converges between 2004-03-01-3.4 (#2) and 2004-03-15-3.4 (#3).
: Search converges between 2004-03-01-trunk (#446) and 2004-04-01-trunk (#447).

Please add 3.4.2 to known to fail list.

Comment 9 Giovanni Bajo 2005-01-21 02:29:13 UTC
Fixed in 4.0, the patch needs a little bit of tweaking for 3.4.
