I'm sorry...I don't know what "triplet" means. There was nothing about it in
the FAQ. I took my best guess.
g++ -v --version prints
g++ (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
cat /proc/version prints
Linux version 2.6.26-1-686 (Debian 2.6.26-13) (wa...@debian.org) (gcc version
4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-24)) #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 18:29:31 UTC

I'm using the stock g++ build that came from Debian, whatever compiler options
they use.
After I traced it down, the problem turned out to be fairly simple [to
produce].
In what looks [to me] like the vtable for the constructor of the derived class,
the compiler's appending *INTERNAL*.
Since I don't know whether there's a page 2,
The command gcc -c -Wall compilerBug.cpp
produces the output
/tmp/ccHFsjIR.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccHFsjIR.s:68: Warning: missing operand; zero assumed
/tmp/ccHFsjIR.s:68: Error: undefined symbol `INTERNAL' in operation
The line it's complaining about looks like this:
.long _ZN7DerivedC1Ev *INTERNAL*
I've boiled the precompiled source file down to
# 1 "compilerBug.cpp"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "compilerBug.cpp"
class Base
{
public:
virtual void Derived() = 0;
};
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
Derived();
};
Derived::Derived()
: Base()
{}
(Everything else I tried to delete let the compiler optimize everything away).
I have no idea what the standard says about how this should actually work (or
not). Compiler error about conflicting symbols? Warning about "this is stupid,
and you probably don't want to do it"? Or just go ahead and magically work?
Especially since the work-around's as easy as renaming either the function or
the derived class.
I just know that the FAQ says that invalid assembly output is a bug, so here we
go.
Thanks *so* much for committing time and effort to work on the compiler. It
really is the heart and soul of the entire free software movement.
