Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Causes for segfaults
Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 20:39:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTim_gzPoE_+xcFWveDo_bRRn00hsff3JGqk4w9Dy@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm not using Obj. I am unmarshalling. I have 'ulimit -s unlimited'
set and I'm unmarshalling with the exact same binary that did the
marshalling. The unmarshalling itself finishes ok but I guess the
segfault could be caused when accessing the resulting data structure?

I'm marshalling data which contains a DynArray which in turn contains
functional values, but I'm using [Marshal.No_sharing;
Marshal.Closures] and I haven't changed the code between marshalling
and unmarshalling.
