Re: IBM VAC++ 8.0 linux placement issues

I reproduced the crash in a small compiler-only test case
(specific to XLC++) and filed a PMR with IBM. Here are the
details: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-199.
It looks to me like exceptions are essentially unusable
in this configuration.

There are several stdlib test that uses mynew.h and the placement new is
causing it to seg fault.

Affected tests:

tests/stdlib/containers/deque_modifiers
tests/stdlib/diagnostics/exceptions

tests/stdlib/test/new



This test exercises the correctness of the replaced operators
themselves (i.e., those defined by the test suite to exercise
the rest of the library). The other tests most likely all crash
because there's something wrong with the operator. The test runs
with the expected results when compiled with gcc so it seems that
this might be specific to XLC++.

The stack trace from the core dump (below) shows that it occurs
in the replacement operator new which is just a forwarding
function with hardly any body:

166     void* operator new (_RWSTD_SIZE_T n) _THROWS ((_RWSTD_BAD_ALLOC))
167     {
168         return operator_new (n, false);
169     }

That seems to suggest some kind of runtime library problem.
Let me try to reproduce it in a smaller test case.

Here's the backtrace:
