Re: [boost] Bug with gcc and array

25 Nov 2008


      Hello
...
I have no clue.  But what does GCC do when you try the following?
I tried gcc 4.2 and 4.3 on Linux on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T5500 
@ 1.66GHz the version of boost is 1.36.
...
struct big_array {
  unsigned int C[1<<22];
  unsigned int& operator[](unsigned p) {
     return C[p];
  }
};
int main () {
 big_array a;
 a[(1<<22)-13]=0;  // ???
}
It crashes. Prehaps its some gcc bug. I have no real idea what 
is the problem. As I said: I send the same report to the gcc team. But I 
think it is also interesting for the boost team.
