Take the code below, save it as foo.cc, and, having equipped yourself with pgcc
1.0.1 and the STL headers from gpp280b.zip, issue this:

gcc -c foo.cc -o foo.o -O6 -mpentium -Wall -Werror -fno-implicit-templates

The result, on a 32 meg system, with all the DOS properties in W95 set for
maximum memory, 23 megs physical free and 64 virtual, is this utter and
complete BULLSHIT!

c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/stl_rope.h: In function `class
rope<__wchar_t,__default_alloc_template<false,0> > &)':
c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/stl_rope.h:1991: virtual memory exhausted


What the hell is wrong with the cc1plus.exe in pgcc 1.0.1?!?!?!
There is NO WAY IN HELL it is using 64 entire megabytes and then trying to get
more! What is REALLY wrong and why doesn't cc1plus.exe issue a more accurate
and informative error message???

I would like to have some feedback about this and an estimate for when this
extremely serious bug will be fixed, ASAP, since a project I'm working on is
completely stalled until I have a cc1plus.exe that will faithfully compile my
code under the sole condition that the code be syntactically correct.


#include <rope>

template class rope<char>;
template class __rope_RopeBase<char, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> >;
template class __rope_flatten_char_consumer<char>;
