#474 JIT crash
Platform: MacOS X 10.4.11 PowerPC
Software: FreeMat 4.0.1
Libraries: Qt4-Mac 4.5.3, LLVM 2.5, SuiteSparse 3.4.0 (all via MacPorts)
Installation: via MacPorts with a private Portfile. Basically, "configure" is replaced by "cmake" with suitable options, including -DCPACK_BINARY_BUNDLE:BOOL=ON, and the OS X application bundle is created by "make package".
Bug: When calling functions defined in .m files that operate on (complex) scalars and use function handles and anonymous functions, FreeMat crashes.
An OS X crash report is attached.
If I interpret the crash log correctly, the crash happens on unwinding from an exception thrown by JITFunc::compile_built_in_function_call(Tree const&).
Workaround: Issuing "jitcontrol off" prevents such crashes.
crash log created by OS X
Recompiling with gcc-4.3 from MacPorts instead of Apple's Xcode version of gcc-4.0 creates an app that does not crash. I now suppose that this is a problem with gcc-4.0 vs. LLVM or with Apple's gcc-4.0 in particular.
Alas, the gcc-4.3-compiled version has also crashed. Again on calling functions defined in .m files that operate on (complex) scalars and use function handles and anonymous functions. Again, the crash happens on unwinding from an exception thrown by JITFunc::compile_built_in_function_call(Tree const&). The crash log can be found in the second attachment.
