I wouldn't be surprised. Something seems to be rather wrong with assignment
these days. This kind of structure (assigning a sporked function to a Shred
object) did work with that syntax in the past so it could be the new
reference counting being over-active again.
I just simplified your code to make the real culprit come out;
//================8<==================
fun void dummy()
{
while(1)
{
second => now;
}
}
Shred foo;
//this runs
//spork ~ dummy();
//I get a segmentation fault at this on Ubuntu
spork ~ dummy() @=> foo;
hour => now;
//==============8<==================
I really think this used to work. To make matters worse this (assuming the
same function) seems to work ok;
//=============================
spork ~ dummy() @=> Shred foo;
hour => now;
//===============================
I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least related because I can't think of
anything else that would break this.
At least it should help pinpoint the culprit. I suggest add it to the Wiki
bug page and we try sprinkling some variation of the working version with
some "@" signs. Sprinkling magical "@" signs seems to pacify this bug ;¬).
Yours,
Kas.
