| Actually, I think this helps clear up the confusion. We seem to have a
| pattern here: it breaks with gcc 4 and it works with gcc 3.
The following change to Octave will allow the test_caller/test_callee
functions to work with GCC 4.0.2, at least on my system (Debian x86
testing, everything compiled with GCC 4.0.2). But since the only
change to Octave is to move the function definition from a .cc file to
a .h file, this does seem to indicate a bug of some sort in GCC or
libstdc++ (octave_value_list is implemented using a std::vector
object).
The crash was happening in the octave_value_list destructor. Maybe
the problem is similar to this one:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196
?
The diff is relative to the current CVS. To apply it to older
sources, change octave_idx_type to int. Or, just make the same change
by hand (move the definition of the resize function from oct-obj.cc to
oct-obj.h).
