Re: I am getting SIGSEGV in alloca, what could be the cause ?
Hi Mayank,
But the same GNU packages compile and run well without issues
with an older linker.
Is it only the linker that you change in order to make things work ? If you
are changing the linker and the compiler and maybe even the libraries that are
linked in, then any of these things could be the source of the problem.
Or it could still be a problem in your code which is only being exposed by the
newer linker. Without more information it is impossible to say.
By the way release 2.18 is now out, so please give that a go and see if it
changes anything for you. If it does not then the best way to proceed is to
put together a *small* testcase that reproduces the problem and then to post it
to this list.
Is it because the program is running out of stack space or is there some other reason.
Almost certainly some other reason. Running out of stack space is a very rare
bug, and one that you can usually check for quite easily by increasing the
amount of stack space available to the process.
Cheers
Nick
