Segmentation fault: 11 in an Array Assign.

[jack461]

The following code causes a segmentation fault 11: [ [1,2], [2,3], [3,5] ] @=> int Tab[3][2]; in the last versions of chuck on a Mac (OSX 10.9.5).

$ cat 3-prep-02a.ck 
[ [1,2], [2,3], [3,5] ] @=> int Tab[3][2];

$ chuck  3-prep-02a.ck 
Segmentation fault: 11

$ chuck --version
chuck version: 1.3.5.2 (chimera)
   mac os x : intel : 64-bit
   http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
   http://chuck.stanford.edu/

$chuck32  3-prep-02a.ck 
Segmentation fault: 11

$ chuck32  --version
chuck version: 1.3.5.3-rc1 (chimera)
   mac os x : intel : 64-bit
   http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
   http://chuck.stanford.edu/

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi Jean-Jacques,

Apologies for the incredibly unhelpful error, but I believe the correct syntax for assigning a new array literal is [ [1,2], [2,3], [3,5] ] @=> int Tab[][]; (that is, don't specify the size on the right-hand side).

We can look into fixing this segfault and giving a good error message for a future release. For now, editing your code should work fine.
