Description

Hi evrybody,

since a view days qgis (after an update) crashes when open a sqlite database.

massage:
src/core/qgsproviderregistry.cpp: 368: (provider) [0ms] Library name is /usr/lib/qgis/plugins/libspatialiteprovider.so
Segmentation fault

qgis version 2.9.0-master
qt 4.8.7
spatialite-version 4.1.1
debian unstable

also tested with the qgis version 2.8.2, same result.

is there a solution or workaround to fix that?

thanks a lot in advance

Problem with Debian packaging. They are aware of it, going to fix, hopefully soon.

#2 Updated by Bas Couwenberg over 9 years ago

This issue should be reopened, because qgsspatialiteprovider.cpp uses the deprecated spatialite_init() method causing the segfault.

The spatialite code in QGIS needs to be ported to use the spatialite_init_ex() method instead:

python/ext-libs/pyspatialite/src/connection.h:36:// int spatialite_init(int verbose);
python/ext-libs/pyspatialite/src/connection.c:84:    spatialite_init(0);

Since QGIS is the most significant user of pyspatialite and its upstream development has stopped, updating the embedded pyspatialite copy in qgis to fix pyspatialite issue 24 seems the most promising road towards a solution.

See also the comments by Sandro on qgis-developer about porting QGIS to use spatialite_init_ex() instead.

The spatialite_init() method is highly unlikely to be fixed in Debian and upstream, all software built on top of libspatialite needs to be adapted to use spatalite_init_ex(). GDAL did this in 1.11.x, qgis and pyspatialite both don't (yet).
