I just tried to compile a small piece of source code with the new GNU C compiler version 4.2 snapshot 20060506.
The compiler snapshot said [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/gnu/42-20060506/bugs> ~/gnu/42-20060506/results/bin/g++ -c -O3 bug16.cc bug16.cc: In function 'bool cross(const LineSegment&, const LineSegment&)': bug16.cc:49: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. Preprocessed source code attached. Flag -O3 required. This code compiled ok on the previous snapshot 20060429.
