This seems to me to be a bug, I just wanted to see if anyone had seen it before and if it reproduces for them.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings FATAL => qw(all); my $t = test->new(); print "The End.\n"; { package test; sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = { list => [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ] }; bless $self, $class; } sub DESTROY { my $self = shift; print STDERR "Bye!".$self->{list}->{4}."\n"; } 1; }
Using perl "(v5.18.4) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi", rather than the nice runtime warning:
The End.
        (in cleanup) Not a HASH reference at ./test.pl line 20.
I get:
The End.
shell: Job 1, “./test.pl” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
Which is tedious to then actually pinpoint if the code is more elaborate. Fortunately the deciding factor is:
use warnings FATAL => qw(all);
Just plain `warnings` or `-w` won't do it. The backtrace starts in malloc.c and leads to an endless loop involving "Perl_ck_warner()" where it seems to have been trying to generate the "(in cleanup)" error message.

In reply to SIGSEGV instead of "Not a hash ref" in destructor w/ FATAL => all by halfcountplus
