Invalid free while performing a std::string assign with -O2 set in g++
Before I get blasted on opening another question, this question is related to another question that I opened a few days ago:
C++ Program Always Crashes While doing a std::string assign
After investigating further based on some of the answers I came up with more questions and more information that may help debug the issue.
So here goes...
The Code in Question:
bool peopleSProtocol::SignalProtocolCreated(BaseProtocol *pProtocol,
Variant customParameters) {
LOG("peopleSProtocol::SignalProtocolCreated");
SetOutboundConnectParameters(customParameters);
// Tie up the peopleSProtocol Instance to the BaseOutboundStream Instance.
BaseClientApplication *pApplication = ClientApplicationManager::FindAppByName("peoplestreamer");
std::string lStreamName;
printf("1b [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str()); // line 217
SetApplication(pApplication); // line 218
printf("1c [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str()); // line 219
BaseRTAppProtocolHandler *pProtocolHandler = (BaseRTAppProtocolHandler *)pApplication->GetProtocolHandler(PT_OUTBOUNDRT);
printf("1d [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str());
uint32_t protocolId = customParameters["customParameters"]["outboundRTProtocolId"];
uint32_t streamId = customParameters["customParameters"]["streamId"];
printf("1d [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str());
BaseOutboundStream *lpBaseOutboundStream = (BaseOutboundStream*)pProtocolHandler->FindByProtocolIdById(protocolId,streamId);
printf("1e [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str());
RegisterOutboundStream(lpBaseOutboundStream);
printf("2 [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str());
// Get the address of our peer (the RT peer, NOT the peopleS peer)...
int32_t lRTClientFd = lpBaseOutboundStream->GetProtocol()->GetIOHandler()->GetFd();
struct sockaddr_in lPeerAddressStruct;
int lPeerLength = sizeof(lPeerAddressStruct);
getpeername(lRTClientFd,(sockaddr*)&lPeerAddressStruct,(socklen_t*)&lPeerLength);
string lPeerIpAddressString = inet_ntoa(lPeerAddressStruct.sin_addr);
uint16_t lPeerPort = ntohs(lPeerAddressStruct.sin_port);
printf("3 [%d] [%s]", (int) lStreamName.size(), lStreamName.c_str());
// Get the name of the file in accordance with the RT spec...
GetStreamName(STR(M_INVOKE_PARAM(customParameters,1)), lStreamName); // line 247
return SendPlayCommand(lStreamName,lPeerIpAddressString,lPeerPort);
}
bool peopleSProtocol::GetStreamName(const char* pRawPath, std::string &pStreamName)
{
vector<string> parts = split(pRawPath,"/"); // line 260
pStreamName = parts.back(); // line 261
parts = split(pStreamName.c_str(),":");
pStreamName = parts.back();
return true;
}
#define ADD_VECTOR_END(v,i) (v).push_back((i))
vector<string> split(string str, string separator) {
vector<string> result;
string::size_type position = str.find(separator);
uint32_t separatorLength = separator.length();
while (position != str.npos) {
string temp = str.substr(0, position);
ADD_VECTOR_END(result, temp);
str = str.substr(position + separatorLength);
pos开发者_StackOverflowition = str.find(separator);
}
ADD_VECTOR_END(result, str);
return result;
}

So to explain the above, the crash is occuring on line 261 (see comments in code for line numbers) during the string assign. For some reason it tries to free invalid memory, but I'm not sure why? The address it tries to free is not the address of what I thought was the empty string assigned on line 217 (_M_p = 0x3c52020 gets set to _M_p = 0x2abbad098e78 i.e. the empty string) but some other address not too far off.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I was wondering if this could be an optimization issue since it does not occur in -O0 and I have ran the code through a battery of tests to try and find a whole slew of memory corruption issues that may cause this weird behavior and ....came up empty handed!
Another interesting note is that if I set std::string lStreamName = ""; instead of std::string lStreamName; the program no longer crashes??? Any Ideas what could cause this? Why would a simple initialization of this string eliminate the crash?
Thanks!
If it's not guarantied that split doesn't return empty vector I'd add a check if it's empty. Otherwise assigning back() of empty vector to a string could lead to the behavior that you receive.
bool GetStreamName(const char* pRawPath, std::string& pStreamName)
{
std::vector<std::string> parts = split(pRawPath,'/'); // line 260
if( parts.size() == 0 )
{
cout << "Cannot parse '" << pRawPaths << "'" << endl;
return false;
}
pStreamName = parts.back(); // line 261
parts = split(pStreamName.c_str(),':');
pStreamName = parts.back();
return true;
}
You should try to reproduce the crash with a self-contained example. Using the information you gave us, I tested the following code.
Note that I needed a split
function. Not knowing what you used, I took one from this question. If you use boost::split
or a split
function you wrote yourself, please include it in your question.
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
std::vector<std::string> &split(const std::string &s, char delim, std::vector<std::string> &elems) {
std::stringstream ss(s);
std::string item;
while(std::getline(ss, item, delim)) {
elems.push_back(item);
}
return elems;
}
std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string &s, char delim) {
std::vector<std::string> elems;
return split(s, delim, elems);
}
bool GetStreamName(const char* pRawPath, std::string& pStreamName)
{
std::vector<std::string> parts = split(pRawPath,'/'); // line 260
pStreamName = parts.back(); // line 261
parts = split(pStreamName.c_str(),':');
pStreamName = parts.back();
return true;
}
int main()
{
std::string streamName;
GetStreamName("/some:weird/path/of:x/a:/stream:foo", streamName);
std::cout << streamName << std::endl;
}
Try to run this code (with -O2, with any g++ optimizations you can think of, with valgrind, etc.) and see if it crashes again.
Using a simple, self-contained example, you can determine if the source of the crashes is an error in your code or anything else (such as conflicting C++ libraries, as it was in your previous question).
