No, it can't. Pure Perl scripts can never cause a segfault because they don't do any memory handling. That's one of the main benefits of writing Perl. The perl binary, or any non-pure-Perl such as XS, however, can cause segfaults. So yes, if using sa-compile to generate XS, segfaults could be caused by SA since it would no longer be pure Perl. If not using sa-compile, then there's no way SA can cause a segfault by itself. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
