Re: [ANN] CHICKEN 5.3.0 release candidate available
Tried again, ran my tests and everything seems to work. I'll keep poking at the rc and come back if I find anything. Thanks everyone! El 13 de agosto de 2021 6:00:33 a. m. GMT-03:00, "Jörg F.

Hi Ariela, sorry, my bad. Looks like I got side tracked and never returned to complete the release after merging the patch. Hope it works now.

Hi Sven, Thanks for testing! Perhaps you can try compiling CHICKEN with DEBUGBUILD=1 and then re-compiling and running your program. This will add lots of inline checks, making the program run very slowly, but it will hopefully raise an early error rather than just segfaulting. This should make it easier to pinpoint where it's going wrong. Cheers, Peter signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [ANN] CHICKEN 5.3.0 release candidate available
Hi. gcc 10.3.0, amd64, Ubuntu 21.04 I am getting a new "Error: segmentation violation", when I add (time .) around my main function mf call: (time (mf (cons (car (argv)) (command-line-arguments The error happens after this mf call is finished. Worked for 5.2 (and earlier). I hope someone has a minimal example, because mine is huge. BTW: the chicken-compiled binary is some percent faster than the one generated by 5.2. Ciao Sven
