           Summary: Probable mmap() bug that breaks cpp-3.2
           Product: Linux XFS
           Version: Current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: High
         Component: XFS kernel code
        AssignedTo: xfs-master@xxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: erayo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


If this is a userspace bug, what version of the package are you using:

The problem occurs in the user space, but I am not certain where it comes from
(it's not a crash)

What kernel are you using:

orion:qmake$ uname -a
Linux orion 2.4.20-xfs #4 Sun Feb 9 18:07:50 EET 2003 i686 unknown


Where did the XFS code come from?  (CVS, Linus, your distribution, etc):

I'm using CVS HEAD from SGI.


Description of Problem:

Problem is that cpp-3.2 will malfunct when using XFS. It has been suggested
that there might be a problem with mmap() in XFS, not properly null-padding
mmap() and that might indeed be the case....

Here is a typical manifestation of the problem:
/home-aux/exa/code/kde/qt-copy/include/qcstring.h:394: parse error before `/' 
   token

In that source code 394 is the last line and there is no such character as '/'

So if I inspect closely and run just the preprocessor:
g++-3.2 -E ....
g++-3.2: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cpp0)
Please submit a full bug report

Now, it might seem that this is a GCC bug, but that isn't the case. When I try
to compile the same code on tmpfs or ext2 everything works fine.

How Reproducible:

You will hate me for this :)

It's very reproducible but it might be hard for you to find a test system.

The bug pertains to version 2:2.95.4-17 of gcc packages in debian (other
versions might not manifest this bug)

I have been able to spot the problem only in compilation of Qt from qt-copy in
KDE CVS. I think trying to compile Qt 3.1 will be a good start. 

I've tried other sources I have to reproduce the bug in a minimal setting but so
far I have failed. If I can find an easier test case I will send the details.

Of course, I would like to hear from you what else I can do to locate the bug or
reproduce it in alternative ways.

Additional Information:

Here is my qt configuration if needed:
export YACC='byacc -d'
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg \
-plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl -no-xinerama -no-g++-exceptions \
-fast -platform linux-g++-i686

Here linux-g++-i686 is standard g++ configuration with some optimization flags
and using g++-3.2....
