Hello, since version 4.6.2 I have the following problem when compiling a c++11 program with gcc: When using an array with really many shared_ptr I am running out of memory when compiling the code. The the following error occurs: "cc1plus: out of memory allocating 268435456 bytes after a total of 40083456 bytes" on my computer having 4GM RAM. This problem still exitst with gcc 4.7. gcc 4.5.2 doesn't seem to use much memory at all - it also instantly compiles that code (and much faster). Someone who can explain the issue? The code would be something like this: #include <memory> #include <array> class SomeClass; typedef std::shared_ptr<SomeClass> SomeClassPtr; typedef std::array<SomeClassPtr, 3000*3000> MyArray; int main() { MyArray myArray; return 0; } This is the coomandline when compiling: g++ main.cpp -std=c++0x My system is "Linux Mint 11 Katya". Thank you Philipp
