host: i386-pc-linux-gnu build: i386-pc-linux-gnu target: i386-pc-linux-gnu configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,proto,objc --prefix=/usr --infodir=/share/info --mandir=/share/man --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-system-zlib --enable-long-long --enable-nls --without-x --without-included-gettext --disable-checking --enable-threads=posix --enable-java-gc=boehm --with-cpp-install-dir=bin --enable-objc-gc i386-linux >Description: I compile the following code: #include <iostream> namespace utility { template< typename T, int role, bool ndebug > struct init { static T * do_it() { T* tmp(new T); std::cout << "/tmp/ point to: " << *tmp << "\n"; return tmp; } }; template< typename T, int role, bool ndebug > struct exit { static void do_it(T * instance) { delete instance; } }; } // namespace utility int main() { { int * tmp(utility::init< int, 1, true >::do_it()); utility::exit< int, 1, true >::do_it(tmp); } int * tmp(utility::init< int, 0, true >::do_it()); } got an executable and call it. The ouput was: /tmp/ point to: 0 /tmp/ point to: 1075812784 >How-To-Repeat: It's a context-dependant bug, so I don't know. As an example, if I comment out utility::exit< int, 1, true >::do_it(tmp) in main(), the behavior is correct. >Fix: Customize operator new() ;-)
