Bug ID: 94255 Summary: template specialization in different namespace causes crash Product: gcc Version: 10.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vince.a.bridgers at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- I encountered this issue using gcc/g++ 6.2.0, then 8.2.0, the tried trunk that I built on rhel7. g++ crashes when trying to compile code with template specialization in different namespace. I know this is incorrect code, but I wouldn't expect g++ to crash. For reference, clang 8.0.0 compiles this and gives an error. ---- Last git hash in log commit 9def91e9f2a7051c9c146f16c1a10d1b25d33b47 Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Mar 19 22:56:20 2020 +0100 --- Configure step for custom, trunk build ... ../gcc/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --prefix=<home>/gcc-install ---- $ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 10.0.1 20200319 (experimental) Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
