I tried to narrow the problem down, but was not very successful.
With the attached file "trans.t" I can reproduce the segfault:
$ PERL6LIB=$(pwd)/lib:. ./perl6-m trans.t
alive
Segmentation fault
If I remove some variable declarations or the last say in that file, the
segfault goes away. Even changing the quotation (s/'/"/g or s/"/'/g) avoids the
segfault.
(On a second system I had to declare some more empty variables to get a
segfault. But otherwise it behaves identically.)
use v6;
use Test;
'ABC'.trans( ('A'=>'a'), ('B'=>'b'), ('C'=>'c') );
'XYZ'.trans( ('XYZ' => 'xyz') );
'ABC-DEF'.trans( ('- A..Z' => '_ a..z') );
my ($var1,$var2,$var3,$var4,$var5,$var6,$var7,$var8,$var9,$var10);
my ($var11,$var12,$var13,$var14,$var15,$var16,$var17);
say "alive"; ## no segfault when commenting this line or not declaring one of
those variables
