Summary: axiom_attribute reference counting broken Key: AXIS2C-1590 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1590 Project: Axis2-C Issue Type: Bug Components: xml/om Affects Versions: 1.7.0 Reporter: Sebastian Brandt The reference counting in axiom_attribute seems to be broken. When created, om_element has ref = 0. When free is called the first time, if(--attribute->ref > 0) evaluates to false; thus, the instance is freed. so far ok. When axiom_attribute_increment_ref is called, the ref count is incremented. if axiom_attribute_free is called now, again, if(--attribute->ref > 0) evaluates to false, and the instance is freed. Now, which is the right way to use the instance? a) call _create, and _free b) call _create, _increment_ref, and _free once? c) call _create, _increment_ref, and _free twice? (currently results in duplicate free). As far as I can see, a and b both happen, though I'm sure the b case looks rather like having forgotten to call _free a second time. axiom_element_add_attribute: axutil_hash_set(om_element->attributes, name, AXIS2_HASH_KEY_STRING, attribute); axiom_attribute_increment_ref(attribute, env); axiom_element_free: for each attribute in ->attributes: axiom_attribute_free((axiom_attribute_t *)val, env); for _these_ attributes, no other call to axiom_attribute_free is done. In other cases, _create and _free is called without increment_ref. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
