Hi all, I'm attempting to embed julia in a MATLAB MEX file. Everything is going great, but MATLAB will sometimes segfault after having run some code calling Julia.* I believe I have narrowed it down to this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2093057 . Basically, I believe Julia is registering a SIGSEGV (or maybe other signal?) handler that overwrites the default for the JVM set by MATLAB. after the Julia function is done, that memory is freed. Then a segfault (or maybe other signal?) happens in the JVM and it tries to call Julia's handler but segfaults (again) as it is no longer there.
Can anyone help me find a workaround? Perhaps if there's a way to "deregister" the handler, or if someone knows a way to get the current handler (before calling into Julia) and then setting it back to that after Julia is done. I've never dealt with signals in C before so I apologize if I'm describing things incorrectly or missing something. Thanks, Eric *I am able to reliably reproduce this by running any MEX function linking to Julia and calling jl_init, then calling `help clear` in MATLAB. P.S.: I'm on Mac OS X 10.10 with MATLAB R2012b and Julia v0.3.6/v0.4.0-dev
