Should this already be fixed on the latest libobjc2 master?
Going back to my original issue about NSHashTable with weak objects, I’m still
seeing it crash with the latest libobjc2 master and also using the arc-cxx
branch.
It reproduces quite easily with the following code (compiled with ARC), which
crashes either directly in addObject: on the first invocation (when using
weakObjectsHashTable), or in -allObjects on the second or third invocation
(when using hashTableWithWeakObjects).
static __strong NSHashTable *_hashTable = nil;
static __strong NSObject *_test = nil;
- (void)testHashTable
{
@autoreleasepool {
if (!_hashTable) {
_hashTable = [NSHashTable weakObjectsHashTable]; // or
hashTableWithWeakObjects
_test = [NSObject new];
[_hashTable addObject:_test]; // crash 1
} else {
_test = nil;
}
NSLog(@"HashTable %@ (_test: %@)", _hashTable.allObjects, _test); //
crash 2
}
}
Similarly, NSMapTable crashes as well in the second invocation of the following
function, although I’m not sure if this is the same root cause as the hash
table crash:
static __strong NSMapTable *_mapTable = nil;
static __strong NSObject *_test = nil;
- (void)testMapTable
{
@autoreleasepool {
if (!_mapTable) {
_mapTable = [NSMapTable strongToWeakObjectsMapTable];
_test = [NSObject new];
[_mapTable setObject:_test forKey:@"test"];
} else {
NSLog(@"obj pre: %@", [_mapTable objectForKey:@"test"]); // crash!!!
_test = nil;
NSLog(@"obj post: %@", [_mapTable objectForKey:@"test"]);
}
NSLog(@"MapTable %@ (_test: %@)", _mapTable.dictionaryRepresentation,
_test);
}
}
I’m pasting the stack traces below. I’d appreciate if anyone can shed some
light on this.
Thanks!
Frederik
