typeinfo_crash_bug.cc: In function `int main()':
typeinfo_crash_bug.cc:6: Internal error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html > for instructions.

>How-To-Repeat:
Contents of file typeinfo_crash_bug.cc:

#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

int main()
{
	std::cout << typeid(double[][]).name() << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

>Fix:
Use one or less square bracket pair in the typeid call...
at least then it gives a proper error message! :P
