Description Erik Earle 2001-06-28 23:03:01 UTC 
Receive error message from fastjavac compiler when attempting to compile more 
than 10 source classes:

fastjavac: Internal compiler error, SEGV, ILL, or FPE

abnormal program termination
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2001-06-29 07:14:17 UTC 
Bumping priority - workaround exists (use a different compiler :-)).
In the meantime, please try to upgrade your fastjavac binary from FFJ-3.0EA or
NetBeans 3.2 (3.3-dev) distribution. It has some bugs fixed from the times of
F4j-2.0.
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2001-07-02 09:03:25 UTC 
Ivan, I suppose that I owe you an explanation :-)
Windows does not handle long commandlines well, so if the number of filenames 
passed exceeds 10, a special commandfile is created which lists filenames to 
be compiled. The compiler is then executed using a special syntax
	fastjavac {other-options} @commandfile
This is supported by all javacs and jikes too. According to the report, this 
syntax is likely to be the thing what makes fastjavac crash.
Comment 3 Jan Becicka 2001-07-17 09:01:38 UTC 
Use fastjavac build #529
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2001-07-17 09:02:08 UTC 
Verified
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:17:37 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
