p = (void *) 0x4c9fad <__gdc_exception_cleanup>
---

So the GC is trying to run memset on the address of a function.

It's caused by this line:

1796│         // Return next item from free list
1797├>        bucket[bin] = (cast(List*)p).next;

Where:

*(cast(List*)p) = {next = 0x4c9fad <__gdc_exception_cleanup>, pool = 0x0}


Not sure what is going on, but it seems to happen after allocating memory a couple dozen or so times.

David, did you get anything like this when moving to 2.067?

It has been almost a year now, but I don't remember anything like that – are you sure that your GC root ranges (.data/stacks/TLS) are set correctly?

Every update I make sure to keep the old _tlsstart/_tlsend implementation intact.  So it should be adding ranges as per 2.066.

I reverted the GC changes to 2.066 and recompiled.

Now I have a null pool pointer at:

2457│             for (List *list = bucket[n]; list; list = list.next)
2458│             {
2459│                 pool = list.pool;
2460├>                assert(pool);
2461│                 pool.freebits.set(cast(size_t)(cast(byte*)list -
pool.baseAddr) / 16);
2462│             }


Maybe there's a codegen change that I haven't picked up.  This is likely as if feels like 70% of the changes in dmd are unwanted noise.
