Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1269171

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: crash log I get while trying to build Mozilla Firefox with gcc 6.1 on Archlinux

This bug is more or less related to bug 1269171 or a duplicate ?

It is really simple to reproduce. If you're using Archlinux with testing repositories enabled, you can use gcc 6.1. It is gcc 6.1 output on Archlinux :

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.1.1/lto-wrapper

Thread model: posix
gcc version 6.1.1 20160501 (GCC)

My computer tried to build a new nightly using gcc 6.1 and up-to-date trunk source code.

Every single time, it crash really fast, less than 3 minutes. See attached log.

First error listed is in /include/mozilla/mozalloc.h -> error: 'bad_alloc' in namespace 'std' does not name a type

My glibc version if it helps : 

$ pacman -Qi glibc | grep Version
Version                  : 2.23-2

Forgot to add that patch for bug 1269171 fixes this crash. Sorry if it is a duplicate.

In the end, it's the same as the libc++ one.
