Description Michael Trausch 2009-09-20 04:18:36 UTC 
When removing "const" from line 46 of http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~alltray-developers/alltray/trunk/annotate/head%3A/src/Debug.vala (in a failed attempt to silence a GCC warning caused an assignment Vala generates in the generated code for display_debug_list in the same file) causes valac to crash.  I have yet to collect additional information.  This is with Vala 0.7.6 on Ubuntu.
Comment 1 Michael Trausch 2009-09-20 04:19:28 UTC 
The crash is a sig11 (segfault), can be reproduced 100% of the time, and I'll be able to provide additional information tomorrow.
