Subject: Random crashes during garbage collection
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:56:48 +0200

Version: 24.0.50
Package: emacs,w32

This is a compilation of the trunk, configured with --no-opt, on
Windows, built with the Twilight Dragon Media release of MinGW:

C:\...\src> gcc.exe  --version
gcc.exe (TDM-2 mingw32) 4.4.1-dw2

I update from the trunk, recompile with

cd lisp
make update-subdirs
make cvs-update
make install

and I get random crashes during garbage collection (two examples
follow). It has not happened so far with an optimized build from the
same sources.

I cannot repeat the crash at will, so this is just for informational purposes.

#6182 and #6919 seem to be bugs in some 4.X releases of the MinGW GCC compiler.

Perhaps related to running it on 64-bit Windows, as the recent report
of Dani Moncayo also happened on Windows 7 64-bit:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-07/msg00207.html

I'm closing them both. Will reopen if new information arises.

I have a similar problem while trying to compile Org mode (release_7.8.10-670-g168c83e) from git using recent emacs (revno 108561).

I'm running Windows XP SP3 32bit. I use gcc 4.6.2 from mingw32. So this is not peculiar to 64 bit machine/compiler.

I was quite happy until it happened and I had been using Emacs successfully for quite a while. I doubt it is a bug in gcc.
