c++/5189: g++ -c bug.cpp crashed on simple stupid file

[Reichelt]

Hi,

the bug can be reproduced with an even simpler example:

struct A
{
    A(A&);
    template <class T> A(T);
};

A a = 0;

The compiler (g++ -c) seems to run into an endless loop which is killed
by the system when all virtual memory is exhausted. This affects gcc
3.0.x and the main trunk (gcc 3.1 as of 20011231) under i686-pc-linux-gnu.
However, gcc 2.95.2 does not have this problem.

See also http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2002-01/msg00202.html
which is probably related.

Greetings,
Volker Reichelt
