Bug #: 54038 Summary: finalize_type_size enters infinite loop becasue TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT (variant) == variant Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: jamb...@gcc.gnu.org Host: x86_64-linux-gnu Target: x86_64-linux-gnu Created attachment 27837 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27837 Delta reduced testcase When compiling the attached testcase, which is delta-reduced from Mozilla Firefox, gcc ends up in an endless loop at the end of finalize_type_size in stor-layout.c because TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT (variant) is variant itself. This value is assigned to it in function build_cplus_array_type in cp/tree.c (near line 811). I compile the testcase with the following flags, no optimization is required: g++ -S -fpermissive -std=gnu++0x zzz.i I'm currently on revision 189631. I'll try to do some bisecting tomorrow.
