I noticed recently that calling pdump on a pbc file, in this case mops.pbc, causes a segfault. I traced this down to calling free_string() in resources.c. It just so happens that calling mem_allocate_aligned() in new_string_header() makes the STRING pointer unacceptable for free().
This can be temporarily fixed by the included patch, but there is certainly some deeper consideration in order. I imagine the same problem will pertain to PMCs since they are allocated and deallocated similarly. -Ryan Index: resources.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/perlcvs/parrot/resources.c,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -r1.1 resources.c 26c26 < return mem_allocate_aligned(sizeof(STRING)); --- > return mem_sys_allocate(sizeof(STRING)); __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
