           Summary: Several wchar_t tests FAIL on IRIX 6.5
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: ro@gcc.gnu.org
              Host: mips-sgi-irix6.5
            Target: mips-sgi-irix6.5
             Build: mips-sgi-irix6.5


Of the remaining libstdc++ failures on IRIX 6.5, most are related to wchar_t
tests, as can be seen at

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-03/msg02830.html

An example is

FAIL: 21_strings/basic_string/inserters_extractors/wchar_t/1.cc execution test

Assertion failed: EX, file
/vol/gcc/src/hg/gcc-4.6-branch/local/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/21_strings/basic_string/inserters_extractors/wchar_t/1.cc,

Running the testcase under gdb, I find:

(gdb) p str10

{<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<wchar_t>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},

I'll need guidance where to look further for the root cause of this.
