I came across some code that previously compiled at -O3 without complaint on gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) and gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9), but triggered a segmentation fault on gcc 4.4.3. After minimization, here is the segmentation fault:
$ /net/test-hsa014/wlam/local/gcc-4.4.3/bin/gcc -Wfatal-errors -c -O3 -Wall foo.cc foo.cc: In member function void TypeRegistry<ValueType>::registerType(int, const ValueType&) [with ValueType = int (*)()]: foo.cc:119: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
