Description
Prerequisites
- Check that your issue is not already filed:
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues - Reduce the issue to a minimal, self-contained, reproducible test case.
Avoid dependencies to Mathlib or Batteries. - Test your test case against the latest nightly release, for example on
https://live.lean-lang.org/#project=lean-nightly
(You can also use the settings there to switch to “Lean nightly”)
Description
Running the following program segfaults
structure P where
a : Nat
b : Nat
structure Q where
p : P
n : Nat
@[inline] def mkP (n : Nat) : Option P := some ⟨n, n + 1⟩
def combine (n : Nat) : Option Q :=
(mkP n).attach.map fun x => ⟨x.val, n⟩
def main : IO Unit := do
match combine 5 with
| some q => IO.println s!"{q.p.a} {q.p.b}"
| none => IO.println "none"
Steps to Reproduce
- Run the program with
lake exe test
Expected behavior: It does not segfault.
Actual behavior: It does.
Versions

Research direction
Start by running the minimal reproducer with lake exe test on Lean nightly and confirm the segmentation fault. Trace the compiler behavior around the inline mkP, Option.attach.map, and structure construction; done means the program no longer segfaults and produces the expected output.
