Hi all,
we've developed an application using libpq to access a table in the PgSQL
database but we're sometimes experiencing segmentation fault on
resetPQExpBuffer() function of libpq called from PQexecParams() with
prepared query.
PostgreSQL version is 9.6.3 and the backtrace is:
Core was generated by `/usr/ti/bin/status-monitor2 -m
/usr/lib64/status-monitor2/modules'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Unfortunately we didn't have more information from the crash, at least for
now.
Is this a known issue and can you help me with this one?
Is your application written in C? We would need to completely rule
out your code (say, by double freeing result or something else nasty)
before assuming problem was withing libpq itself, particularly in this
area of the code. How reproducible is the problem?
merlin
The application is written in plain C. The issue is it happens just
sometimes - sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Once it
happens it causes the application crash but as it's systemd unit with
Restart=on-failure flag it's automatically being restarted.
What's being done is:
1) Ensure connection already exists and create a new one if it doesn't
exist yet
2) Run PQexecParams() with specified $params that has $params_cnt elements:
res = PQexecParams(conn, prepared_query, params_cnt, NULL, (const char
**)params, NULL, NULL, 0);
3) Check for result and report error and exit if "PQresultStatus(res) !=
PGRES_TUPLES_OK"
4) Do some processing with the result
5) Clear result using PQclear()
It usually works fine but sometimes it's crashing and I don't know how
to investigate further.
Could you please help me based on information provided above?
Thanks,
Michal
