Description

Prerequisites
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
  1. Run the program with lake exe test

Expected behavior: It does not segfault.

Actual behavior: It does.

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.
