AsGML multipoint issue on MacOS X

[colivier]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

make check on mac OS X (gml unit test)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Right GML output but with extra warning: + WARNING: detected write past chunk end in ExprContext 0x7f0010

in all multipoint output (GML 2 and 3)

Mac OS X 10.5.4 i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

(Unit test OK on a linux box)

Hi Olivier,

I wonder if this is related to the AsSVG() bug? Incidentally, have you tried enabling memory checking on your PostgreSQL instance? It makes things run slowly, but enables you to track things like this.

What you need to do is build PostgreSQL from source like this:

./configure —enable-debug —enable-cassert

Perhaps this will help point out where the bug lies?

HTH,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

I don't really think there's a direct link, as for #141, it's clearly a conceptual error in length size computation. Fixed as r3910

The only common point (for the moment) is that both #141 and #119 appears only on some platforms

I will rebuild my PostgreSQL with assert, to see if it could help

Also commited in 1.3 branche (as r3930)
