Description:
I've built 7.0.6 from source and installed it with...

autoreconf --force --install
./configure --with-plugins=max --prefix=/usr/local/mysql make make install scripts/mysql_install_db --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data

I then start the management node successfully but the ndbd fails to start correctly.

ndb_mgmd --initial -c conf/config.ini
ndbd --initial -c localhost:1186

I've tried this several times on 2 different machines (each running Fedora 11).

Config and log files located at:
www.clusterdb.com/Fedora11/config.ini 
www.clusterdb.com/Fedora11/ndb_1_cluster.log
www.clusterdb.com/Fedora11/ndb_1_out.log
www.clusterdb.com/Fedora11/ndb_2_error.log
www.clusterdb.com/Fedora11/ndb_2_out.log

How to repeat:
As described above (on a host using Fedora 11).

Suggested fix:
Suspect the problem is with the fact that Fedora 11 contains gcc 4.4.0
[10 Jul 2009 19:55] Sveta Smirnova
Thank you for the report.

Failure to start verified on RedHat 5, although logs in my case are partially same to logs provided.

To repeat: `./mtr --suite=ndb`

This problems occur with gcc 4.4.0 where behaviour has changed according to the changelog "G++ now properly implements value-initialization, so objects with     an initializer of () and an implicitly defined default constructor will be zero-initialized before the default constructor is called."

Crash occurs in DbdihInit, where we first put an object in a list and then run the default constructor which "properly" overwrites the member variables used for the list with zeroes. :(

The below patch

We should probably change "tactic"  and avoid code like this in the future.

is it possible to add a warning-flag, so we can find-out if there are more occurrences like this
[17 Jul 2009 7:48] Magnus Blåudd
Couldn't find flag. But I agree, we should try to autodetect this somehow...

Documented bugfix in the NDB-6.3.27 and 7.0.8 changelogs as follows:

        ndbd was not built correctly when compiled using gcc 4.4.0. (The
        ndbd binary was built, but could not be started.)

Closed.

Docs note: Removed (commented out) changelog entry until we have a new fix, per IRC discussion with Magnus.

Corruption in DbUtil::initResultSet causes failure to create event operation when keyinfo is overwritten.

Can be detected in any version when by checking return value from rs.next like below.
