internal gcc 2.95.2 error on alpha (fwd)

[Clifford Wolf]

Hello,

I've tried to send the following mail to gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org - but the
mail deamon of the address told me that it is too large. So I resend it
now without the tack-pad.i file attached. The file  is now available under
the URL:

  http://linux.rock-projects.com/misc/tack-pad.i

Here is the original mail:

Hi,

I'm currently working on the ROCK Linux Port to the alpha architecture. I
got the following 'Internal compiler error' when building the ncurses 5.0
package. As you know the sourceode of it is available at:

   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.0.tar.gz

This is with gcc-2.95.2 running Linux 2.2.13 (+ devfs) and
glibc 2.1.2 (I striped out the functions with complex variables).

cd ../objects; gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../tack -I.  -DNDEBUG -I. -I../include -O2
 -c ../tack/output.c
cd ../objects; gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../tack -I.  -DNDEBUG -I. -I../include -O2
 -c ../tack/pad.c
../tack/pad.c: In function `pad_home1':
../tack/pad.c:333: Internal compiler error in `int_mode_for_mode', at stor-layout.c:202
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport > for instructions.
make[1]: *** [../objects/pad.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/rock-linux/src/ncurses-5.0-19991023/tack'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I've attached a file 'tack-pad.i' which is the processed pad.c file. I can
reproduce the error using this file (with and without -O2):

# gcc -O2 -c tack-pad.i
../tack/pad.c: In function `pad_home1':
../tack/pad.c:333: Internal compiler error in 	nt_mode_for_mode', at
stor-layout.c:202
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport > for
instructions.

# gcc -c tack-pad.i
../tack/pad.c: In function `pad_home1':
../tack/pad.c:333: Internal compiler error in 	nt_mode_for_mode', at
stor-layout.c:202
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport > for
instructions.

I don't get this error with pgcc-2.95.2 on intel. Please let me know when
there is a bugfix or workarround available (if possible). Let me know if
you need more information.

yours,
