core dump

[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

Paul,
  I got rid of all the gmsl.  3.79.1 complains about recursion in the
merge function.
With eval changed to warnings on the following lines :
$(foreach proj,$(PROJECTS),$(eval $(call proj_template,$(proj))))
$(foreach proj,$(PROJECTS),$(eval $(call build_proj_template,$(addprefix
build+,$(proj)))))

I get the following results
3.79    perfect results
3.79.1  perfect results
3.8.0   perfect results
3.8.1   perfect results

change the warning back to eval and I get
3.79    nothing
3.79.1  nothing
3.8.0   segemntation fault core dump
3.8.1   prefect results


Some more complex lines:  too much stuff ?  The result of this line is
where the core dump
points to. ldb is the proj it failes on.  BB_ldb  has 27 elements.
Explanation of the following line
$(1) = build+ldb where proj is one of 7 names ldb lde ldg ldm ldf ldw
lbf
BB_ldb := a b c d e f g ...
The result of the following line is
build+ldb+a build+ldb+b build+ldb+c ...
$(foreach bb,$(BB_$(patsubst build+%,%,$(1))),$(addsuffix
+$(bb),$(addprefix build+,$(patsubst build+%,%,$(1)))))

The define :
##
## build+ldb : build+ldb+bb
##      @echo
define build_proj_template
$(1):  $(foreach bb,$(BB_$(patsubst build+%,%,$(1))),$(addsuffix
+$(bb),$(addprefix build+,$(patsubst build+%,%,$(1)))))
        @echo "build_proj_template $(1)"
endef

The rule produced by warning looks like :
Makefile:792: build+ldb:  build+ldb+inftp build+ldb+opi build+ldb+schapi
build+ldb+tuxapi build+ldb+ldngn build+ldb+infgn build+ldb+ldgn
build+ldb+ldcli build+ldb+lddim build+ldb+tuxcom build+ldb+tuxjul
build+ldb+env build+ldb+ldac build+ldb+ldsrv build+ldb+opign
build+ldb+ldtup build+ldb+celltools build+ldb+lddim32
build+ldb+marshaler build+ldb+ldop build+ldb+inftl build+ldb+ldmrs
build+ldb+ldgdd build+ldb+sla build+ldb+lddl build+ldb+infsync
        @echo "build_proj_template build+ldb"

This puts me in a very hard place.  We can't put a beta 3.81 onto a
production platform.
The code I'm writing doesn't work on 3.79 and I get a seg fault on 3.80

I request a fix of 3.8.0 to fix the segmentation violation.  I've sent
the core dumps.
I can send my makefile 811 lines,  @ 675 are lists half the remainder
are comments.
So I probably have < 50 lines of interest.

>From the core dump

mics.c:384 it is a fixed length array?

Is what bad or good?  GMSL?  I think it's pretty cool stuff.
