Below is the RegexKit code that causes the Snow Leopard error. After reading the doco, I don't feel very enlightened about what the unsupported configuration is, or what the solution might be. Can anyone give me a clue?
+ (void)load
{
RKAtomicMemoryBarrier(); // Extra cautious
if(RKCacheLoadInitialized== 1) { return; }
if(RKAtomicCompareAndSwapInt(0, 1, &RKCacheLoadInitialized)) {
if((cacheMapKeyCallBacks= dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "NSIntegerMapKeyCallBacks")) == NULL) { cacheMapKeyCallBacks= dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "NSIntMapKeyCallBacks"); }
#ifdef ENABLE_MACOSX_GARBAGE_COLLECTION
id garbageCollector = objc_getClass("NSGarbageCollector");
if(garbageCollector != NULL) {
if([garbageCollector defaultCollector] != NULL) {
id pointerFunctions = objc_getClass("NSPointerFunctions");
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions = [pointerFunctions pointerFunctionsWithOptions:NSPointerFunctionsIntegerPersonality];
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.acquireFunction = intPointerFunctionsAcquire;
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.descriptionFunction = intPointerFunctionsDescription;
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.hashFunction = intPointerFunctionsHash;
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.isEqualFunction = intPointerFunctionsIsEqual;
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.relinquishFunction = intPointerFunctionsRelinquish;
RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions.sizeFunction = intPointerFunctionsSize;
RKCacheObjectValuePointerFunctions = [pointerFunctions pointerFunctionsWithOptions:(NSPointerFunctionsZeroingWeakMemory| NSPointerFunctionsObjectPersonality)];
[[garbageCollector defaultCollector] disableCollectorForPointer:RKCacheIntegerKeyPointerFunctions];
[[garbageCollector defaultCollector] disableCollectorForPointer:RKCacheObjectValuePointerFunctions];
}
}
#endif // ENABLE_MACOSX_GARBAGE_COLLECTION
}
}

One change to the NSPointerFunction based collection classes (which support a number of things that NSArray & the like do not) between Leopard and Snow Leopard was to tighten up the validation of the pointer function validation such that a handful of non-sensical configurations are detected that weren't before.
I.e. RKCache is trying to create a set of pointer functions that doesn't make sense (and for whose behavior is undefined).
As someone else pointed out, RK is most likely RegexKit and, thus, the source is available and can be fixed. Given the relatively common use of RK*, please provide a patch to the author so it can be fixed upstream.
