internal compiler error

[Enrico Zini]

Hello!

[All my gratitude for your worderful work is obvious and therefore is omitted
for the sake of brevity]

It seems I've found a bug in both egcc and gcc when experimenting some weird
c++ code:

 * Here is what I got:

enrico@marvin:~$ uname -a
Linux marvin 2.0.32 #1 dom mar 1 20:01:30 CET 1998 i586 unknown

enrico@marvin:~/dev/cc$ egcc --version
egcs-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release)

enrico@marvin:~/dev/cc$ gcc --version
2.8.0

enrico@marvin:~/dev/cc$ egcc -I/usr/include/g++ -c ice.cc
ice.cc:20: Internal compiler error 40.
ice.cc:20: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.

enrico@marvin:~/dev/cc$ gcc -I/usr/include/g++ -c ice.cc
ice.cc:20: Internal compiler error 40.
ice.cc:20: Please submit a full bug report to `bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu'.


 * And here is ice.cc:

 - - - - - - - - - - -

class base
{
public:
	virtual void method()=0;
};

class der: public base
{
public:
	template<class C>
	void method()
	{
		C foo;
	}
};

main()
{
	return 0;
}

Sould it be useful for you to know, my computer is a Debian GNU/Linux 2.0
installed when it was still the `unstable' distribution; the cpu is
an Intel Pentium 133Mhz, with 48Mb ram and a 100Mb swap file.


     Hoping to have been useful and to hear some feedback,   Enrico
