Re: (Periodic) Segmentation faults when using regex-compat-0.92

kathleen.fisher:

I am getting periodic (although frequent) segmentation faults when loading the following code into ghci (version 6.13.20100309) and then asking for the value of re_results1:

...

module Examples.RegExpTest where

import qualified Text.Regex as RE

re = RE.mkRegexWithOpts "^a+" True True re_results1 = RE.matchRegexAll re "aaaab"

Is this a known problem? Are there known work arounds?

That sounds very scary. There should never be a segfault in code like this. It may point to a compiler bug in the GHC head. I wonder if you can upgrade to regex-compat 0.93.1 ? http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regex-compat Forwarding to the maintainer, Chris Kuklewicz. -- Don
