History

#1 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

The test in PR https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2722 was bogus, I'm working on another test, but it isn't easy to predict whether or not a segfault would happen.
Valgrind reports are clear on the matter, though.

#2 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

So the new test is in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2751.
Main problem is that parsing does NOT happen upfront but only when needed, so it takes forcing a call like "exportToWkt" to trigger memory errors.
I don't know if different code paths trigger different WKB parsing, which would be very hard to debug.
