Oh, I get it. `as` is an array of 2 pointers to A objects, both

Pedantically, no. It's an array of two class references. I don't
think it's helpful to think of class references as pointers.
That's just an implementation detail.
Still no clue why it segfaulted on the allocation though,
rather than the statement with the null dereference. Hidden
optimization?
You said,
removing "as[0].stuff = 42" causes the program to stop
segfaulting!
Which indicates that was where the segfault was happening. The
debugger was just stopping before that.
