std::string and crtdll problem

[henrik]

Hi!

Could anybody please tell me why the following program crashes with a sad

[main] C:\prj\silly\a.exe 1098 (0) handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW
[main] a 1098 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to a.exe.core

when compiled with 'gcc  silly1.cc  -lstdc++ -lcrtdll' but not when compiled with
'gcc  silly1.cc  -lstdc++', OR when the last two lines of readline() are
removed?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <string>
using std::string;

int main() {}             // nothing gets executed...

string readline()
{   
        int i;
        char *recvbuf;
        
        // comment out the following two lines to avoid the crash 
        string dest(recvbuf,i);   
        return dest;                                                    
}
