Here is the part that makes it bug : #define SHALLOC_FRAGMENT 32 /* * If there are at least SHALLOC_FRAGMENT additional bytes of * memory, divide the chunk into two chunks. */ if ((u_int8_t *)rp >= (u_int8_t *)&elp->links + SHALLOC_FRAGMENT) { sp = rp; //--------------- This instruction crashes ------------------------- *--sp = elp->len - ((u_int8_t *)rp - (u_int8_t *)&elp->links); //------------------------------------------------------------------ elp->len -= *sp + sizeof(size_t); return (0); } So what do we have : rp = 0xff281794 --> (u_int8_t *)rp = "Cannot access memory at 0xff281794" sp = 0xff281790 ('--sp' is applied) --> (u_int8_t *)sp = "Cannot access memory at 0xff281790" (u_int8_t *)&elp->links = -1 : i think it's ok. elp->len = 51008 So i guess the problem is first evaluating (u_int8_t *)rp, this pointer is not correct. I have already heard that etox is being deprecated and replaced by evas_text_block, and i totally agree with the fact that it's a really minor issue ; you have many other priorities before that, and i can live without it begin corrected (yes i can ! ;-)). If i have some free time, i'll try to correct it by myself. Don't waste your precious time ! There are ever-growing TODO lists to deal with, i guess you're not bored. :-p Thanx for your answer. And for the hard work.
