HI ! while doing some gcc qualification testing and analysis I cam accross the following "bug" - its a bit obscure combination of compiler flags that are technically not useful so I'm not sure if this warrents a bug report or not - maybe its only a "buglet" :) I only have this on one system (debian 7.0) - so if anyone happens to have gcc 4.7.2 installed - could you check if this triggers ? the hello.c is really just the standard hello_world.c, it seems to trigger on anything. hofrat@debian:~$ gcc -ftest-coverage -fbranch-probabilities hello.c hello.c:1:0: internal compiler error: in gcov_open, at gcov-io.c:82 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.7/README.Bugs> for instructions. Preprocessed source stored into /tmp/cchEOdKJ.out file, please attach this to your bugreport. The problem seems to result in invalid preprocessor code being generated. thx! hofrat BUG Report ---------- - seems to be unintended behavior - not found in http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known - not checked with latest gcc 4.8 - this bug does not turn up in older versions - gcc-3.3.4 hofrat@rtl14:~$ gcc -ftest-coverage -fbranch-probabilities hello.c hello.c:0: warning: file hello.da not found, execution counts assumed to be zero gcc-4.4.5 hofrat@rtl17:~$ gcc -ftest-coverage -fbranch-probabilities hello.c hello.c: In function 'main': hello.c:6: note: file /home/hofrat/hello.gcda not found, execution counts assumed to be zero - not reported in the debian bug tracking does not seem to be in the gcc bugtracking (keyword test-coverage) Bug Summary ----------- * the exact version of GCC; gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5) * the system type; Intel i7 2600M Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 15 15:39:52 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux /etc/debian_version 7.0 * the options given when GCC was configured/built; Using built-in specs.
