2d-dev folks, I work on a product called MATLAB and we have about 60 reports from customers on Mac related to a crash in CGraphicsDevice.m
Please let me know if this is the right way to report a crash and discuss getting it resolved. Here are the details: CGraphicsDevice.m is a native file in support of Java drawing and gets called from Java_sun_awt_CGraphicsDevice_nativeGetDisplayMode While I can’t reproduce the problem, it looks like the display pointer is becoming invalid for a time when the user’s laptop opens or closes. Looking at this source code: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~serb/8000629/webrev.08/src/macosx/native/sun/awt/CGraphicsDevice.m.html I see a direct call to CFStringCompare without a check for a NULL CFStringRef. * (CFStringCompare(mode, CFSTR(kIO30BitDirectPixels), kCFCompareCaseInsensitive) == kCFCompareEqualTo) I believe if this code returned 0, the crash would not occur though there may be some other cleanup in the surrounding call frames.
