Description Cheyenne Wills 2008-02-17 02:36:44 UTC

I'm trying to build a mono application and have came across the problem that was reported to the mono folks (mono #347359).  The symptom is that gmcs hangs (30 some hours on a 50 line .CS program before I ctrl-C).  The authors of the package that I was trying to build reported the problem to the mono folks and there is a fix in the svn for mono.  

This is not a "gentoo" bug, but a request to see if a patch can be developed.

This does fail on multiple platforms, and is not gentoo specific.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See the referenced URL for the test case.
Actual Results:  
Excessive CPU time and utilization when compiling certain source code using gmcs


I believe that patch is in mcs/.../expression.cs

Pulled a patch for this from svn.  Should be fixed with -r2.
