ReadFile segfaulting

[nikkne]

Hi,
when I try to call

Code: Select all

theNet.ReadFile("/home/nikkne/test.xdsl");

it segfaults. File exists, it was created by WriteFile() call, and is brutally simple.

coredump's backtrace shows this:

Code: Select all

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Any thoughts?
It happens with any file I try

Any thoughts?

Nothing I can think of. Basic I/O tests are part of the release sequence; for each SMILE build we compile/run the verification app which among other things calls Read/WriteFile. This means that on our machine it worked.

Can you write simple app which doesn't link to any other external library except SMILE and just calls ReadFile, then exits? If you get the segfault in that case, post the 'brutally simple file' here - maybe it's brutal, but not that simple

I'll do that right away...
I discovered that I don't need to call ReadFile at all, to get segfault. If I call theNet.Header().SetId("test"); it segfaults.

Solved!
I had a bug with pthreads. The object which contained theNet was created inside main(), which passed pointer to it to other threads... Since main() exited, without waiting for other threads, it stack got removed, as so was the object...
