Subject: gcc-7.1.0/c++17/old-abi: empty stringstream invalid memory access
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

I am reproducing here a bug report I filed to gcc's bugzilla against
gcc-7.1.0: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81522 , in
hopes of finding others who observed the same issue or who may have a
solution. The bug only appears on Cygwin and only in c++17 mode with
the old ABI.

-- Irfan

This trivial program:

#include <sstream>
int main() {
std::stringstream os; // same with ("") or (std::string())
os.str();
return 0;
}

causes an invalid memory access with gcc 7.1.0 (compiled from source),
but only on Cygwin in c++17 mode with old ABI, and only if the
stringstream is constructed empty. Changing any of those parameters no
longer causes the issue.

Thread 1 "string" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
