OpenSolaris core dump ?

[Jim Langston]

Hi all,

I'm working with OpenSolaris and applied this to Octave 3.0.5 as noted by
John last August.

bool
file_ops::is_dir_sep (char c)
{
#if defined (OCTAVE_HAVE_WINDOWS_FILESYSTEM)
   static std::string xdir_sep_chars ("/\\");
 #else
   // static std::string xdir_sep_chars (file_ops::dir_sep_str);
   static std::string xdir_sep_chars ("/");
 #endif
 return xdir_sep_chars.find (c) != NPOS;
}


If I reverse the comment and depend on file_ops::dir_sep_str,
I will get a core dump similar to what was in the bug report, ie:

(gdb) bt
#0  basic_string (this=0xfe2a9528, address@hidden) at basic_string.h:221
#1  0xfdd4ae08 in file_ops::is_dir_sep (c=110 'n') at file-ops.cc:865
#2  0xfdd4af03 in file_ops::concat (address@hidden, address@hidden)
   at file-ops.cc:878
#3  0xfe7e4e93 in default_history_file () at oct-hist.cc:91
#4  0xfe7e5005 in __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 
(__initialize_p=1,
   __priority=65535) at oct-hist.cc:97
#5  0xfe7e5098 in global constructors keyed to oct_hist.cc ()
   at oct-hist.cc:739
#6  0xfecb6c2d in __do_global_ctors_aux () from ./src/liboctinterp.so
#7  0xfecb6c5a in _init () from ./src/liboctinterp.so

setting the separator, no problems running the entire test harness

Did I miss another static to set ?

Thanks,

Jim
