Bug ID: 81522 Summary: c++17/old-abi/cygwin empty stringstream invalid memory access Product: gcc Version: 7.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: irfanadilovic at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Build: x86_64-pc-cygwin This trivial program: #include <sstream> int main() { std::stringstream os; // same with ("") or (std::string()) os.str(); return 0; } causes an invalid memory access with gcc 7.1.0 (compiled from source), but only on Cygwin in c++17 mode with old ABI, and only if the stringstream is constructed empty. Changing any of those parameters no longer causes the issue. Thread 1 "string" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00000001004018a0 in __gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>::deallocate (this=0x6, __p=0x3e8000003fc <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x3e8000003fc>) at /usr/local/gcc-7.1.0/include/c++/7.1.0/ext/new_allocator.h:125 125 ::operator delete(__p); (gdb) bt #0 0x00000001004018a0 in __gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>::deallocate (this=0x6, __p=0x3e8000003fc <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x3e8000003fc>) at /usr/local/gcc-7.1.0/include/c++/7.1.0/ext/new_allocator.h:125 #1 0x00000001800b25d2 in CreateEventW () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #2 0x0000000000000130 in ??
