Hi ! during some compiler testing to determin the impact of individual flags on the layout of binaries I´ve been doing brute force iterations over flags and stubled accross the following "internal compiler error" This happens with: * gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2 on Debian 7.6 * gcc (Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2 on Debian 8.1 hofrat@debian:~/Diversity/testing$ cat hello.c #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("hello, world\n"); return 0; } hofrat@debian:~/Diversity/testing$ gcc -fshort-double hello.c -c -o hello.o <built-in>:0:0: internal compiler error: in layout_type, at stor-layout.c:2121 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/ccbpCZZY.out file, please attach this to your bugreport. checking http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known it did not seem that this qualifies as one of the known FP Non-bugs. Should this be reported or is this just an absurd commanline here ? (all other single flags pass - some with legitimate warnings) thx! hofrat
