panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x51d8b7] goroutine 1589381 [running]: strings.EqualFold({0xc000beec20?, 0x0?}, {0x0?, 0xacace7?}) /usr/local/go/src/strings/strings.go:1111 +0x37 gitlab.com/accumulatenetwork/accumulate/pkg/url.(*URL).Equal(0xc000a74e40?, 0xc00094c540) /builds/accumulatenetwork/accumulate/pkg/url/url.go:472 +0x10c This is in a docker container based on the go:1.22 image, so the panic appears to be happening here: func EqualFold(s, t string) bool { // ASCII fast path i := 0 for ; i < len(s) && i < len(t); i++ { sr := s[i] tr := t[i] // <-- line 1111 (*URL).Equal <https://gitlab.com/accumulatenetwork/accumulate/-/blob/5b1cb612d76d4163a101303e51a6fd352224cdab/pkg/url/url.go#L465> : func (u *URL) Equal(v *URL) bool { if u == v { return true } if u == nil || v == nil { return false } return strings.EqualFold(u.String(), v.String()) } (*URL).String <https://gitlab.com/accumulatenetwork/accumulate/-/blob/5b1cb612d76d4163a101303e51a6fd352224cdab/pkg/url/url.go#L240> : func (u *URL) String() string { if u.memoize.str != "" { return u.memoize.str } u.memoize.str = u.format(nil, true) return u.memoize.str } (*URL).format <https://gitlab.com/accumulatenetwork/accumulate/-/blob/5b1cb612d76d4163a101303e51a6fd352224cdab/pkg/url/url.go#L189> : func (u *URL) format(txid []byte, encode bool) string { var buf strings.Builder // ... write to the builder return buf.String() } How is this possible? Based on `addr=0x0` in the panic I think this is a nil pointer panic, as opposed to some other kind of segfault. The only way I can reproduce panic-on-string-index is with `(*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s)).Data = 0`, but I don't see how that can be happening here. I'm saving the string but I'm not doing anything weird with it. And the string header is a value type so code that manipulates the returned string shouldn't modify the original. And I'm definitely not doing any kind of unsafe string manipulation like that in my code, anywhere. The only reference to unsafe anywhere in my code is for parameters for calling GetDiskFreeSpaceExW (Windows kernel32.dll call). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
