Trace API: Faulty database filter crashes server
------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-3860
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3860
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 2.5.1, 2.5.0
Reporter: Thomas Steinmaurer
By "accident", I discovered that a faulty database filter in a trace
configuration can crash the server. Tested with a few days old Firebird 2.5.2
Snapshot SC 64-bit on Windows. The used database filter doesn't make sense, but
because it crashes the server, I thought reporting here makes sense. In our
product, when the user creates a new trace configuration, the tool defaults the
database filter to something like that:
<...enter database regex string here...>
so that the user is somehow "forced" to enter a database filter. If the user
leaves this entry as is, upon starting a trace session, the server crashes. As
said, the database filter doesn't make sense and probably will never be used
that way when e.g. writing a trace configuration by hand, and I also can change
the default value above, but IMHO the server shouldn't crash.
