Not sure if this is a DMD or druntime issue. Using dmd 1.062 on OS X 10.6: --Calling ClassInfo.find() causes a seg fault. Test case: <factory_test.d> module factory_test; import std.stdio; class TestClassA {} void main() { auto info = ClassInfo.find("factory_test.TestClassA"); } Backtrace from gdb: (gdb) r Starting program: /Users/emsitesting/d/factory_test Reading symbols for shared libraries +. done Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000018 0x00003150 in D6object9ClassInfo4findFAaZC9ClassInfo () (gdb) bt #0 0x00003150 in D6object9ClassInfo4findFAaZC9ClassInfo () #1 0x00002749 in _Dmain () #2 0x000163fd in main () Because Object.factory depends on this, it also fails. This is an important issue for me as I have a GUI library written in D capable of building interfaces from markup which uses this functionality heavily. Runs fine on linux.
I cannot reproduce this error with either dmd 2.047 or dmd 1.062 with Tango on Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Unfortunately, there's no way I'll be porting this from phobos anytime soon. (In reply to comment #1) > I cannot reproduce this error with either dmd 2.047 or dmd 1.062 with Tango on > Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Just downloaded and tested with 1.063 and the issue is gone.
