Hi all,
When I try to run m4 on my Mac, it immediately fails with
Abort trap: 6
Can you get a backtrace of where the abort() call is happening? I don't
have access to a Mac, so I am not in a position to easily reproduce the
failure.
I built using the traditional ./configure ; make -j8 and then run it with
./src/m4
Since you are building from source, you may also want to try modifying
main() to not install a signal handler for SIGABRT; that way, the
desired abort message will get printed rather than m4's normal attempt
to sanitize a fatal error into a more friendly message.
This is the result of gcc --version:
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr
--with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.12)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.0.0
Thread model: posix

Thanks!
