Hi,
the testcase would be wonderful - those bugs are hard to catch. I fixed some
issues
recently, so you may try recent snapshot if you didn't.
You may try -fno-devirtualize to see if the bug goes away (likely it will) and
you
may try to look in -fdump-tree-all -fdump-ipa-all dumps where cxa_pure_virtual
call
appears in the program and send me some context.
