Description pierre 2005-02-10 17:56:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.92)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 4.0.0 20050130 (experimental) 
OS:                Linux

Hi

I'm trying to compile all KDE with gcc 4.0 (snapshot 20050130). kdebase and kdelibs needed a patch, but they work without any problem.
But with kdepim, when the compilation reach globalsettings.cpp, gcc starts eating all the CPU and memory !
I don't really understand why does it crash, but because of that kmail doesn't compile :(

Thanks !

this would be a bug in g++, and which is probably a good indicator as to why it isn't released as a stable product yet. we obviously can't fix compilers, but we can work around them. however, when they are compilers which are still in development (e.g. they have bugs that need to, and will get, fixed before being released) there is no point in even attempting such work-arounds.

there is a reason they call it the "bleeding edge" after all =)

I didn't really know whose fault it is, so I reported the bug here and on gcc.gnu.org...
