We just had a failure of Nemo.jl on Travis on OSX which looks completely
random. We replace uint with UInt in two places. Before the patch all
passes. After the patch, segfault on OSX in a fairly unrelated function.
The failure almost seems to random to even bother posting, but here is the
line of code we changed:
ccall((:fmpz_pow_ui, :libflint), Void, (Ptr{fmpz}, Ptr{fmpz}, UInt), &z, &x,
UInt(y))
Here is the function that now segfaults:
function fmpz(x::Float64)
!isinteger(x) && throw(InexactError())
z = new()
ccall((:fmpz_set_d, :libflint), Void, (Ptr{fmpz}, Cdouble), &z, x)
finalizer(z, _fmpz_clear_fn)
return z
end
This was with Julia 0.4. It's hard not to draw the conclusion that these
are unrelated and that therefore there are intermittent failures on Travis.
