A program compiled with -fstack-check option terminates abnormally with SIGSEGV
Issue
-
A program compiled with -fstack-check option terminates abnormally with SIGSEGV. The issue occurs after update. We can see it by a simple reproducer, and it occurs about once every twice.
-
The issue does not occur without -fstack-check option, but the customer would like to use the option. Is there any other workaround with the option?
