RHBA-2014:1209 - gcc bug fix update
Synopsis
gcc bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated gcc packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gcc packages provide compilers for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU, as well as related support libraries.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Due to corruption of internal GCC structures, GCC could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when compiling a certain code with optimizations and coverage options enabled, causing the Garbage Collector to fail. The related GCC code has been fixed and the crash no longer occurs. (BZ#799592)
-
GCC could terminate unexpectedly when compiling a code with arithmetics on TI mode (16-byte integer mode) values on AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures. The relevant GCC code has been fixed so that the crash no longer occurs. Note that the 128-bit integer support in GCC version 4.1 has several deficiencies; this support is better implemented in the gcc44 packages. (BZ#901750)
-
Previously, GCC could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when compiling a code that initializes nested structures which define a type of an array of structures (using typedef). A fix has been applied and GCC now compiles such code correctly. (BZ#1008819)
Users of gcc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
