Hmm, it was my debugging attempt causing the problem--can't *printf("%
s") on a char* field that's been set to (char *)1. So, while accessing
the potentially freed memory is dubious, the SEGV actually happens a few
lines down, and a file or two over, in the qof_entity_release()
function. My Bad(tm). For some reason, split->entity.e_type is NULL by
this point, and I don't think the CACHE_REMOVE(str) macro appreciates
that.
This crash is happening on exit, when you would expect the memory to be
freed.
PINFO("Fixing to release split entity for type: %s",
split->entity.e_type);
qof_entity_release (&split->entity);
causes this result:
Info: xaccFreeSplit(): Fixing to release split entity for type: (null)
CRASH!!!!!! (because qof_entity_release doesn't have an logging
statements...).
and the gdb bt revealed that some g_hash_something function burped on
the NULL value. Don't have time right now to recreate the bt (bedtime)
but I could probably get to it again on Sunday.
Is it permissible for split->entity.e_type to be NULL at this point in
the game (exiting, etc.)? It's probably something I've written causing
this, but when I save the Split, it's e_type is "Split", and then when I
exit, the e_type is NULL...
Thanks,
