Ruby and gcc 2.95.4

Hi,

Has anyone tried current Ruby with gcc 2.95.4? Is it known to work?
I get fantastic memory leaks with it... Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks.

There is a bug in the gcc 2.95.4 optimizer. Google search for "gcc
2.95.4 optimizer bug" or "gcc 2.95.4 bug" should turn up some details.

Try compiling Ruby with -O0 (or upgrading your compiler).
Maybe Guy Decoux can tell you more....

Thanks for the hint. But it seems to be not related to gcc 2.95.4 at all, as I now get the same memory leaks on gcc 3.3.3. Seems to be a ruby related problem.
