Description Andrei Alexandrescu 2010-07-04 13:57:23 UTC 
This test inside std.array.back causes a segfault:

        assert(a.length, "Attempting to fetch the back of an empty array");

This doesn't:

        assert(a.length);

The bug seems to manifest itself only on Linux and only in release mode. To reproduce, build Phobos on Linux like this:

make -f linux.mak unittest BUILD=release DMDEXTRAFLAGS="-version=bugXXXX"

where XXXX is the number of this bug report.

The workaround is gone from std.array.back.
