This is a workaround that gets over the segfault. It should not affect other compilers.

Could you please post the gcc bug report link here?

I'm not aware of a GCC bug report yet, this is a new issue (the WeakPtr refactoring is recent)

There is GCC 8.5 already, but ubuntu 18.04 does not ship with it (it would be good to test if the problem still happens in 8.5)

[Nina Kolesa]

that said, the .5 release tends to be the last one, so I'd expect there won't be any more gcc 8 fixes either way

[Nina Kolesa]

indeed, there is no more development in the gcc8 branch: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commits/releases/gcc-8
