GCC 4.4.7 bug with GCOV

Post by Codrut94 » 2015/07/30 08:30:26

Hello,

I'm a CentOS 6.6 user and I'm using the default GCC (4.4.7) compiler of CentOS 6.6.

I'm trying to use the gcov tool for my code in CentOS 6.6 with gcc 4.4.7 and I have the same problem that was reported at [1].

I send an email to Richard Biener to fix the bug for the gcc 4.4.7 but he told me that gcc 4.4.7 is no longer maintained.

The bug was fixed for gcc 4.6.3, gcc 4.7.2 and gcc 4.8 .

He also added that I should "talk with the boys from CentOS to backport the patch to their compiler".

I hope that you boys can do your magic again and fix this bug.

The fact that CentOS 6 will be maintained until 2020 gives me confidence that you'll do your best to fix this bug.

Thanks,
Codrut Grosu.

P.S. Sorry for my English... I'm better with vim :D :P

CentOS rebuilds RHEL bug for bug. CentOS never fixes anything. You need to report this to RH: https://bugzilla.redhat.com. Try 6.7 first because it has an updated gcc package.
