A file fix-memory-corruption-on-macOS.patch contains two patches. I just removed the second one (vsystem -> system) in favour of posix_spawn and applied it on 33a195d5cec2a7f8f563e11c0f1a3011ea0b30a0 which allows me to build GCL on macOS 12. It requires something like 3 hours I guess, but I did it from clean system.
Summary: posix_spawn works but it requires one more patch:
--- o/main.c
+++ o/main.c
@@ -432,7 +432,11 @@ gcl_cleanup(int gc) {
if (gc) {
saving_system=TRUE;
+
+/* on macOS it leads to ERROR "Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]" */
+#ifndef __APPLE__
GBC(t_other);
+#endif
saving_system=FALSE;
minimize_image();
If I recall right I made this patch as result of git bisect that points that
this issue was introduced by cb842e61fd2d0ff5baf51918112003a3a1b69b45 when this
line was introduced.
From my point of view posix_spawn is the right move and it really fixes things.
If you think to commit it, please do!
