Package: g++-4.3 Version: 4.3.0-5 Severity: normal A package of mine (monotone) failed to build on one of the ia64 build daemons due to an "impossible" failure in its testsuite. The unit tests for this package, in several places, deliberately break data structure invariants and check that std::logic_error gets thrown when the broken data structures are used. In two cases, the logic_error was thrown but not caught by the test harness; instead std::terminate was called. This does not happen on other platforms so I suspect a compiler bug.
The symptoms (quoting http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=monotone&arch=ia64&ver=0.40-4&stamp=1212239914&file=log&as=raw ): .... /build/buildd/monotone-0.40/unit_tester: check_sane_roster_test: loop = 0 (of 9) /build/buildd/monotone-0.40/unit_tester: UNIT_TEST_CHECK_THROW(r.check_sane(false), logic_error) /build/buildd/monotone-0.40/unit_tester: roster.cc:1026: invariant 'I(has_root())' violated .... debugging dump here ... terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' what(): roster.cc:1026: invariant 'I(has_root())' violated Unfortunately I do not have interactive access to ia64 hardware, so I cannot provide any more compact test case. zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
