Obviously, the program segfault soon after that.

It sounds like some memory corruption occurs under the hood. What can I do to work around that bug and to help solving it ?

Have you compiled this with the latest gitHEAD ? Several very nasty wrong-code bugs were fixed very recently (eg, bug 9568).

No luck. I just tested it and it doesn't work.

I did some investigation yesterday. It seems that the frame pointer that is passed when calling the closure is not always the right one.

I now can catch the problem as soon as it occurs. I'll try to reduce it to a simpler test case, but it seems really difficult.

Sooooooo,

I have a struct. The struct have a context pointer. I have this method :

@property
auto save() inout {
        return inout(Lexer)(t, r.save, line, index);
}

The context pointer IS NOT COPIED.

Fixed it that way :

@property
auto save() inout {
        // XXX: dmd bug, context pointer isn't copied properly
        // doing it manualy using black magic.
// Context pointer is the last element of the struct. Here in position 9.
        auto ret = inout(Lexer)(t, r.save, line, index);
        (cast(void**) &ret)[9] = (cast(void**) &this)[9];
        
        return ret;
}

Very scary that I have to do that kind of things.
