[ragel-users] Re: Reproducable crash

[Adrian Thurston]

I can't seem to reproduce the crash. I think it might be architecture 
dependent. Are you running on a Mac? Bus errors in Ragel seem to crop up 
only on Macs.

crasher = any*;
tag = "{" cmd* crasher "}";

This is heavily ambiguous. The any* will never end. Also the any* of the 
text machine will never end. What happens when you change it to 
something unambiguous?

crasher = [^}]*;
text = [^\\{]*;

Regards,
  Adrian
