On the following example, gcc seems to loop and starts filling the ram after
reporting the errors. Same issue on x86_64-linux-gnu or with older 4.x
versions.
~/tmp$ cat test2.cpp
class a {
template<unsigned int s>
struct _rec {
static const char size = _rec< (s >> 1) >::size;
};
template<>
struct _rec <0> {
static const char size = 0;
};
static const unsigned int value = _rec < 1 >::size;
}
~/tmp$ g++-4.3 -v -ftemplate-depth-4 test2.cpp
