[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany 1.29 crashes on OS X 10.10.5 when launched. (#1335)

[Carl Petersen]

The machine is:

  Model Name:	iMac
  Model Identifier:	iMac7,1
  Processor Name:	Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:	2.8 GHz
  Number of Processors:	1
  Total Number of Cores:	2
  L2 Cache:	4 MB
  Memory:	6 GB
  Bus Speed:	800 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:	IM71.007A.B03
  SMC Version (system):	1.21f4

Bear in mind that 1.29 runs perfectly will on my new Macbook Pro running the latest MacOS but fails if I boot the Macbook with an older (10.10) release of OS X . Go back to the MacOS and everything works again.

Just as an experiment I upgraded the iMac to 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and the current 1.29 release to see if it made any differents but it fails with the “EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION”.  The signed library issue seems to be gone with the os upgrade.

I'm compiling with a newer version of XCode's LLVM than for the previous builds and it might be possible that it now defaults to newer processor instructions.
