E685: Internal error: func_unref()
Dominique Pelle
"E685: Internal error: func_unref()" with vim-7.1.298 when:
- building vim with -DEXITFREE
- and using the NERD_tree.vim plugin
It's a low priority bug since it only happens when building
with -DEXITFREE (which is a debug feature normally
disabled).
Steps to reproduce:
1/ build vim with -DEXITFREE i.e. uncomment line
"PROFILE_CFLAGS = -DEXITFREE"
in vim7/src/Makefile
2/ install the NERD_tree.vim plugin available at:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1658
3/ run...
$ vim -c NERDTree -c qa
... and observe that vim reports many internal errors when exiting:
Error detected while processing command line:
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
E685: Internal error: func_unref()
...
... etc, error message repeats 10877 times
I have not found a way fix yet.
I'm using vim-7.1.298 on Linux x86.

I tried to debug it. I found:
- one bug in delete_first_msg() [message.c]: when delete_first_msg()
is called and the list of message becomes empty, last_msg_hist
should be set to NULL. Bug should only happen when Vim is
compiled with -DEXITFREE since the list of message is never
cleared otherwise.
- in eval_clear() [eval.c], free_all_functions() should be called I think
(not 100% sure) after garbage_collect() because garbage_collect()
uses hash of functions. Again, this is only relevant if Vim is
compiled with -DEXITFREE.
After those 2 fixes, I no longer see the internal error message as
described in the initial post.
Attached
- fix_delete_first_msg.message.c.patch
- fix_internal_error.eval.c.patch
