error in nx (nsf), wish crashed

[Manfred]

Hi

If I write this command's in my wish8.6,
on the last command wish8.6 crashed with "Speicherzugriffsfehler
(Speicherabzug geschrieben)"


%package require nx
2.3

nx::Class create D
::D

%D property -configurable 0 "nix isfix"

%D create d
::d

%catch {d cget -nix}
cget: unknown configure parameter -nix

%catch {d configure -nix anix}
WISH CRASHED

If I run this commands in a script, nothing happens.



If I don't use the command
"catch {d cget -nix}"

only

"catch {d configure -nix anix}"

nothing happens.

I think in practice it isn't relevant, because the error doesn't happen
in a script.


The system is:
kubuntu 19.04
tcl/tk 8.6.9 (compiled by myself)
nx 2.3 compiled by myself)



Regards

Manfred

On Linux, you can use valgrind to find the source of such errors. You
need to recompile everything with -DPURIFY and --enable-symbols, and
then instead of "wish something" say "valgrind wish something". Then
watch for the first error.

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for taking the time to report the issue. We confirm it, it is reproducible also in interactive tclsh sessions (not Tk or wish specific).

Taking a look now.

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for reporting. This was a caching bug (caused by "cget -nix" followed by the "configure -nix ..."). The bug is fixed in the git repository.

all the best
