Subject: bug in egcs-1.1.2?
Reply-to: mike DOT fabian AT it-mannesmann DOT de

Hello,

I encountered a problem while using Mumit Khan's egcs-1.1.2 release.

(~$ g++ --version
egcs-2.91.66       )

the following small test program doesn't compile with egcs-1.1.2

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <utility>
#include <deque>
#include <list>

class PairsOfStrings : public std::deque<std::pair<std::string,std::string> > 
{
};

void main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{
	PairsOfStrings d;
	std::string s1("field1"),s2("value1"),s3("field2"),s4("value2");
	d.push_back(std::make_pair(s1,s2));
	d.push_back(std::make_pair(s3,s4));

	std::string str = "";
	for(PairsOfStrings::const_iterator p=d.begin();p!=d.end();p++) {
		// the following line doesn't compile with egcs:
		str +=	p->first + p->second;  
	}
	std::cout << str << std::endl;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The error message is:

test.cpp: In function `int main(...)':
test.cpp:21: result of `operator->()' yields non-pointer result
test.cpp:21: result of `operator->()' yields non-pointer result

When `list' is used instead of `deque', the program compiles fine
and works as expected.

With Microsoft's VC 5.0 the program compiles without errors
for `deque' as well (and the program runs correctly).

Is this possibly a bug in egcs??

PS:
here is the complete output of the compiler:
