Description
Hi,
I discovered strange memory corruption in Vect_open_old_head(), e.g.
Vect_open_old_head (Map=0xbffee630, name=0x87140f0 "bs", mapset=0x804aea8 "") at open.c:475 (gdb) p Map->head.line_3 $21 = 0x87146e0 "" (gdb) n main (argc=2, argv=0xbffeeb84) at main.c:110 (gdb) p Map->head.line_3 $22 = 0x7b1ea71 <Address 0x7b1ea71 out of bounds>
In the result all vector modules segfaults.
Martin

Replying to mmetz:
If you svn upped recently, and did not make distclean, this could be the reason, because I have added LFS support to vector libs. The latest grass7 is in constant use by me, no segfault, all vector operations work. Please let me know if it works again after make distclean, configure, make.
I already did make distclean.

OK, now I did make distclean, configure and make on both Linux 32bit (Fedora 8) and Linux 64bit (Fedora 10) after svn up again. trunk works for me, display, query, rebuild topology, open vector with rebuilt topology in grass-6.4.0RC3, everything is fine. I used boundary_county of nc_spm_08. ???
Segfault not reproducible by me, can someone else reproduce this?

Is this only true for vector bs or for all vectors? What are the contents of vector/bs/head, is there something specified for OTHER INFO:?
I suspect Vectread_head because according to the description of this ticket, something is wrong with setting Map->head.line_3 within Vectread_head, and Vectread_head reads the plain text file named head.
Just a guess.

When leaving Vect_open_old_head everything seems OK.

Next step -> memory corrupted

Have you looked at debug messages? Debug level 2 or 3? v.info in standard mode prints out exactly nothing for you I guess?
Now a nasty question: have you heard of anybody else experiencing this problem?
I'm lost here, also no idea...

Hm, I recompiled again and the problem disappeared. Closing ticket.

I was too quick - memory corrupted in v.info. Anybody else facing to the similar problem?

The earlier gdb didn't tell me a lot. Can you please run v.info with debug=2 or 3? At least I can work better with that. I'm willing to help, but I can't reproduce the problem and need more information.

Thanks for your help.

Can you try the first patch, and if that doesn't work, the second patch?
I seems that v.info failed in main.c:334
My guess is that the real problem is in v.info main.c:112. It would be safer if v_head would be a pointer and line 112 would be v_head = &Map.head. Even better is patch1, if it works for you.
Hope that helps.

Right, it helps (committed in r36508). Anyway I do not understand why memory corruption was detected only in GRASS7 not GRASS6.

Thanks for committing. I think too that this memory corruption should have occurred before. As long as it works in grass6, I wouldn't fix it there. Shrug.

Well, I cannot see any reason why memory was corrupted in v.info - only in GRASS7, but not in GRASS 6.5. When implementing very basic GEOS support in v.select I was facing to the similar problem.
In the loop (http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/vector/v.select/main.c#L176) is initialized ifield variable. Inside of the loop everything is OK - ifield[0] and ifield[1] are initialized properly. After leaving the loop in ifield[0] occurs random value.
More strangely when I add before line http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/vector/v.select/main.c#L37
struct GOption *in_opt[2];
memory is not corrupted at all.
I am going to be a little bit confused ;-) Has anybody any idea what is happening here. Compiling GRASS7 with
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -fno-common -Wextra -Wunused" \ CXXFLAGS="-g -Wall" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 --with-tcltk-libs=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 \ --with-postgres --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/postgresql \ --with-mysql --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \ --with-gdal=/usr/local/gdal-grass7/bin/gdal-config \ --with-proj \ --with-motif --with-glw --with-nls --with-readline \ --with-cxx --enable-largefile \ --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \ --with-sqlite --with-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg/ \ --with-odbc --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5-config --with-wxwidgets --with-pthread \ --with-ffmpeg=no --with-geos

Thanks in advance. Martin

Doesn't make any sense to me why ifield[0] should get a random value. Maybe just use the working solution?
FYI, I have already taken some algorithms from GEOS, translated from C++ to C, optimized where possible and put into the grass7 vector libs, replacing less efficient algorithms (topology building for areas). If you want some GEOS functionality to be available in the grass vector libs directly, we could join forces.

yes, there is something strange with GRASS7 compilation on my computer (note that I have no problems with GRASS6). E.g. debugging v.select
(gdb) b main.c:176 [for (iopt = 0; iopt < 2; iopt++) {]
(gdb) b main.c:184 [Vect_open_old(&(In[iopt]), parm.input[iopt]->answer, "");]
(gdb) b main.c:188 [IFi = Vect_get_field(&(In[0]), ifield[0]);]
(gdb) r
(gdb) p ifield[0]
$4 = -163754450
(gdb) c
(gdb) p ifield[0]
$5 = 1
(gdb) c
(gdb) c
(gdb) p ifield[0]
$10 = 142560728
Nice mystery ;-)

Martin, are you still observing memory corruption in vector modules in grass7?
If yes, is your system 32 bit or 64 bit? If 32 bit, does memory corruption disappear when configuring without --enable-largefile?
This memory corruption may have something to do with the new LFS support for vector libs, then I could have an idea how to fix it.

No complaints in the last 3 years, closing as fixed.

If you svn upped recently, and did not make distclean, this could be the reason, because I have added LFS support to vector libs. The latest grass7 is in constant use by me, no segfault, all vector operations work. Please let me know if it works again after make distclean, configure, make.
