Is this code standard ?

[joseph cook]

I have a very small program which will not compile. I was wondering if
i was doing something that violated the c++ standard itself. (for
those interested, I am using g++ 3.4.3)

This program will not compile: (Internal ERROR : Segmentation Fault)

(#include<vectorfor all of the following)

class myClass
{
std::vector<floatm_buffer[75000];
};
int main()
{
//NOTHING
}

// But this one will:
int main()
{
// I can increase this size hugely without problem, so memory is not
the issue here.
std::vector<floatm_buffer[75000];
}

This one also works fine:
class myClass
{
std::vector<floatm_buffer;
};
int main()
{
myClass obj[75000]; // Which seems to be equivalent to the first
program
}

Should the first program compile ?

That means there is a bug in the compiler. It should never bail out with
an "internal error". Of course, it could still be a response to erroneous
code, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

(#include<vectorfor all of the following)

{
std::vector<floatm_buffer[75000];

You want an array of 75000 vectors of float?

};
int main()
{
//NOTHING
}

// But this one will:
int main()
{
// I can increase this size hugely without problem, so memory is not
the issue here.
std::vector<floatm_buffer[75000];
}

{
std::vector<floatm_buffer;
};
int main()
{
myClass obj[75000]; // Which seems to be equivalent to the first
program
}

Should the first program compile ?

Yes. With g++ 4.1, it does.

Sure do.
Thanks for your response

Works with g++ (GCC) 3.3.5.
