Segfaults on Appveyor

[SimonDanisch]

These Segfaults look like they come from WinRPM:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SimonDanisch/freetype-jl-bl4qr
Any ideas?

[SimonDanisch]

#53 Is this related?

if you're running with julia-debug, then this is a new similar problem. There's a base issue on it. Needs someone to bisect.

[SimonDanisch]

Okay, seems to work without debug :) Guess I leave this open for now...

JuliaLang/julia#14560

[SimonDanisch]

Not really sure why it fails again after changing the README....

new nightlies, LibExpat.jl is broken on llvm 3.7 and probably not just on windows. it's doing something fishy with an empty union ccall return type

I've filed a separate issue (#63) for the ReadOnlyMemoryError, as it took me a while to understand that it's the same as the bug you described in the last comments. I suppose many people are going to report this once the get AppVeyor to fail. Better keep issues separate.

[nalimilan]

Should we close this now that the ReadOnlyMemoryError is gone?

[tkelman]

Does it work with julia-debug now?

[SimonDanisch]

seems fine: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SimonDanisch/freetype-jl-bl4qr/build/1.0.7/job/eha0ta1iwfmm5045
Is julia-debug the preferred option for appveyor?

[tkelman]

No, not really, but it breaks more often so I'd hope someone tests it occasionally.
