Strange segfault

Hi,

I have a strange segmentation fault with the next code:

using BioAlignments
using MIToS.MSA
using MIToS.SIFTS
using MIToS.PDB
using StatsPlots

filename = "/home/zea/.julia/dev/MIToS/test/data/modeller.pir.gz";
msa = read(filename, PIR, generatemapping=true);
pid = percentidentity(msa);
@show pid;

The strange things are:

  • I only get a segfault if all the using lines are included. It works well if I comment out one of the unused using statements.
  • It works well in Jupyter/Juno/REPL, but I get a segfault in the percentidentity call when I use the code as a script:

I know that the segmentation fault is related to the PairwiseListMatrix constructor [https://github.com/diegozea/PairwiseListMatrices.jl/blob/master/src/pairwiselistmatrix.jl#L12], but I don’t understand why it fails and why it only fails in scripts where multiple using statements are present. The following also gives a segfault:

using BioAlignments
using MIToS.PDB
using StatsPlots
using PairwiseListMatrices

PairwiseListMatrix{Float64, false, Vector{Float64}}([0.5], [0.2, 0.2], 2)

The segfault is:

I’ve Julia 1.1 in Ubuntu 18.04:

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

The segfault in the last example is solved by changing the constructor signature from:

    function PairwiseListMatrix{T,diagonal,VT}(list::AbstractVector{T},
                                               diag::AbstractVector{T},
                                               N::Int) where {T,diagonal,VT}

To:

    function PairwiseListMatrix{T,diagonal,VT}(list::VT,
                                               diag::VT,
                                               N::Int) where {T,diagonal,VT}

However, the first script still segfaults in percentidentity.

After the previous modification, the following code still fails when it runs as a script:

using BioAlignments
using MIToS.MSA
using MIToS.SIFTS
using MIToS.PDB
using StatsPlots

filename = "/home/zea/.julia/dev/MIToS/test/data/modeller.pir.gz";
msa = read(filename, PIR, generatemapping=true);
pid = percentidentity(msa);
@show pid;

How can I now exactly what is causing the segfault?

It runs well with julia --inline=no
