STL vector core dump

[Akila]

My application is built on sun solaris 9.0. 5.9 Generic_118558-26
sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210

compiler : Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113817-14 2005/07/19

I am creating a vector of int at the beginning of my application
(before the application does anything) and copying it to another
vector . my application segmentation faults!!!

std::vector<int> v1;
std::vector<int> v2 =v1;

The code works fine when the vector v1 is not empty.
std::vector<int> v1;
v1.push_back(10);
std::vector<int> v2 =v1;

Even the below code worked
std::vector<int> v1(1);
std::vector<int> v2 =v1;

I looked at the copy constructor for the vector and it does not seem
to be
checking for zero size.

Can anyone please explain why and also how to solve the problem
becuase i have several functions in my application that return a
vector (when a vector is returned , the copy constructor is called)
and the vector can be empty.

Thanks,
- Akila.

If your example is:
#include <vector>

int main()
{

std::vector<int> v1;
std::vector<int> v2 =v1;
}

then, it works without seg fault with gcc 4.1.2 on Linux machine.
Otherwise, I have no idea what you did

Have you tried updating your compiler? Looks like it has some issues

Lucky you, this is addressed in the FAQ:

There must be something else you're doing wrong. I can't
reproduce the problem, and I tried with all three versions of
Sun CC I have handy: 5.1, 5.5 and 5.8 (both with
-library=stlport4 and without). Could you please post a minimum
example that reproduces the problem.
