Hi all,
I don't know whether this is caused by Vim or Netrw, but here's a way
to crash both:
1. cd /tmp && mkdir foo
2. vim
3. :e foo/
4. rmdir foo && touch foo
5. In Netrw choose .. to go up to /tmp
6. Open foo
Vim crashes at this point with a segmentation fault. Sometimes it will
not crash immediately but something weird definitively happens and you
can't edit the buffer.
This is with Vim 7.4.131 on Debian Wheezy 64 bits (big build) and Netrw v147nNR.
Hm, you're removing the directory you're working on and replacing it by
a file of the same name, then asking to follow the hardlink ./.. in it,
which you implicitly just removed? Sounds to me like you were asking for
trouble, but well…
How to solve? Maybe testing isdirectory() again on every operation on
the directory we're editing? Sounds expensive, and maybe applicable only
to local directories… Let's see what Dr.Chip will say (when and if he
does). Maybe WONTFIX, I don't know.
Oh, and BTW, the latest netrw published as part of Bram's sources is
v149 and there is a v150m dated day before yesterday on Dr.Chip's site,
at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/#NETRW
To compile Vim yourself (current version is 7.4.131 but your runtime
files seem a little out-of-date) see:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
and don't forget to remove (I suppose :RmVimball — the netrw package
consists of several scripts) any out-of-date netrw versions you might
have in 'runtimepath' directories other than $VIMRUNTIME.
This "own-compile" method will of course remove any Debian-specific
fixes — or bugs — and it works quite well on 64-bit Linux — I use it.
Best regards,
Tony.
