Description liberti 2003-02-18 21:56:00 UTC 
/* the following code causes gcc and g++ 3.2 to crash 
with an internal error. The code shouldn't compile
anyway, but neither should the compiler crash.
gcc 2.95.2 correctly reports the mistakes in the 
snippet */

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
        int nx = 2;
        void theerror(double a[][nx+1]);
        double** a = new double * [1];
        a[0] = new double [3];
        a[0][0] = 0;
        theerror(a);
        return 0;
}

void theerror(double a[][nx+1]) {
        a[0][0] = 1;
}

Release:
3.2

Environment:
GNU/Linux 2.4.18 on a RedHat 8.0 distribution
Comment 1 liberti 2003-02-18 21:56:00 UTC

Comment 2 Wolfgang Bangerth 2003-02-18 22:14:52 UTC 
State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-Why: Confirmed. A regression in the C++ front end introduced
    between 2.95 and 3.0 that is still there in mainline of
    yesterday, as well as (of course) in 3.2.2 and 3.3.
    
    Reduced code is
    ----------------------
    void foo(double a[][2]);
    
    void bar() {
      int nx = 2;
      void foo(double a[][nx]);
      foo(0);
    }
    -----------------------------
    
    tmp/g> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4-pre/bin/gcc -c x.cc
    x.cc: In function `void bar()':
    x.cc:6: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
    Please submit a full bug report,
    
    
    It ICEs here:

 This one looks like it is related to PR 9778, although the code is very 
 different and the time when it was introduced is also vastly different.
