Bug ID: 64429 Summary: Double free when returning std::string from trivial lambda Product: gcc Version: 4.8.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: charlie at charliedyson dot net The following causes a double free on gcc 4.8.2 as shipped with Ubuntu, and various other versions I tested on Wandbox. Interestingly enough, explicitly copying the string inside the lambda seems to fix it. Code: #include <string> using F = std::string(*)(std::string); std::string call_fn_pointer(F f, std::string s) { return f(s); } std::string f(std::string s) { return s; } int main() { // fine call_fn_pointer(f, "foo"); // fine call_fn_pointer([] (std::string s) { return std::string(s); }, "foo"); // double free call_fn_pointer([] (std::string s) { return s; }, "foo"); } Invocation: $ g++ -std=c++1y foo.cpp -o foo -Wall $ ./foo *** Error in `./foo': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x08372008 *** Aborted Apologies in advance if I've found another duplicate! Could this relate to 64329?
