Also strange.  All this does not fit together.  If the ref count is

All this looks like the actual problem happens earlier, maybe some

Maybe you can use valgrind (or some other memory checker) to see if 
there is a memory problem?

No problem.  I am a little worried that you have discovered a problem

- Comment out the last few lines:

That should tell us whether the crash is caused just by storing the

being called from Reference constructor) indicate that something is very 
wrong, like the vtable overwritten or not fully created.  One

Hi Andre,

In the constructor of SidebarController at line 168

 Reference.h: Line 359 -- XInterface operator, as it does during our run?


It appears  that at runtime Reference.hxx: Line 136 - 
_pInterface-acquire()  that occurs after WeakReference..  does not 
 execute as it does after addContextChangeEventListener a few lines 
above WeakReference. Do you see a similar behavior?  Can you provide 
the first 5-10 steps your code takes after WeakReference (line 168)?

Herbert,

Raymond and I have been using the dbx debugger feature of Solaris 
Studio 12.3 with an equivalent throw/catch feature 
(intercept/whocatches) and have found that the cases where we tried to 
intercept exceptions, they were unhandled. This includes inside the 
SidebarController where we have tracked the problem origination. We 
have stepped through the code multiple times and while we have found 
that the problem originates in the SidebarController, we cannot 
explain how it happens.


Using the debug tool we see that the SidebarController constructor 
doesn't complete because the segmentation fault occurs when the 
notifyContextChangeEvent is called a second time. The first time it is 
called it is located in the addContextChangeEventListener where

Hi Raymond,



most regulars are traveling (and are meeting this weekend at FOSDEM in

I already recommended the try to find whether any exceptions are thrown (and 
caught away) during the steps you already debugged.



In gdb I'd use the command

 catch throw

to find the throwing code. Maybe there is similar facility in Solaris Studio?

We've recently compiled OpenOffice 4.01 on Solaris 11 x86 and are experiencing 
the following at runtime. I've included some of the stack trace below. Any help 
would be great. Thanks!
Observed Behaviour
1.OpenOffice starts, the splash screen with logo appears and then 
closes replaced with the full application window and choices for specific 
OpenOffice projects.
2.Selecting either the Word or Spreadsheet project causes a 
segmentation fault and closes the application.
3.Following the start of the application with the debugger, we can 
see the SidebarController is created in a first pass without error (known 
because first time to this stop point does not error).
4.As the process continues, the SidebarController constructor is 
called a second time (unknown why, but could be understood with more 
familiarity with the system).
5.The failure doesn't appear in the constructor, but the trace follows down 
SidebarController constructor call of WeakReferenceSidebarController 
WeakController (this);
6.This template definition for WeakController uses 
ReferenceTemplate::Refrence( interface_type *pInterface) as its definition in

7.The function will try to convert the pInterface parameter to a 
XInterface type called _pInterface.
8.If it succeeds in converting the pInterface to _pInterface then 
the function will try to acquire a new reference.
9.Assumption: Creating this new reference calls 
SidebarController::notifyContextChangeEvent with a corrupt or bad rEvent. This 
assumption is based on the stack where the immediate next routine after the Reference 
function call is the notifyContextChangeEvent, also while following along in the 
debugger, the rEvent parameter at this point is already corrupted with the value 
ERROR stored in the structure.
10.  It is later after the notifyContextChangeEvent calls Context and 
then ustring that the segmentation fault occurs, but I believe the error 
located in rEvent is what causes this later problem.
It appears as if inside the SidebarController Constructor at line 168
when xWeakController(this) is called that the problem first occurs.
The xWeakController appears to be  defined in Reference.hxx in
/cppu/inc/com/sun/star/uno/ and this definition as an inline function
that calls the _pInterface-acquire() at line 136. We assume that this
acquire is where the problem occurs because the
SidebarController::notifyContextChangeEvent (which is the next item on
the stack) rEvent contains an ERROR value in the dbxtool (debug
tool) immediately following in the stack. It eventually crashes
downstream at line 103 of ustring.hxx in /sal/inc/rtl when the string
is trying to be accessed as pData = str.pData;

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the response. We are looking at that now.

In the constructor of SidebarController at line 168 WeakReference..., on your 
system, does the code step to  Reference.h: Line 359 - XInterface operator, as 
it does during our run?

It appears  that at runtime Reference.hxx: Line 136 - _pInterface-acquire()  
that occurs after WeakReference..  does not  execute as it does after 
addContextChangeEventListener a few lines above WeakReference. Do you see a 
similar behavior?  Can you provide the first 5-10 steps your code takes after 
WeakReference (line 168)?

Thanks!

Herbert,



Raymond and I have been using the dbx debugger feature of Solaris Studio 12.3 
with an equivalent throw/catch feature (intercept/whocatches) and have found 
that the cases where we tried to intercept exceptions, they were unhandled. 
This includes inside the SidebarController where we have tracked the problem 
origination. We have stepped through the code multiple times and while we have 
found that the problem originates in the SidebarController, we cannot explain 
how it happens.



Using the debug tool we see that the SidebarController constructor doesn't 
complete because the segmentation fault occurs when the 
notifyContextChangeEvent is called a second time. The first time it is called 
it is located in the addContextChangeEventListener where it appears to work as 
expected, even the acquire function appears to call the 
ContextChangeEventMultiplexer without any errors.



The following lines are what we see as we step-by-step through the execution of 
the SidebarController.cxx constructor when we select the Spreadsheet or the 
Text Document.



The first time the notifyContextChangeEvent is called:



SidebarController: Line 147 - addContextChangeEventListener is called

Reference.h: Line 359 - XInterface operator - is called

Reference.h: Line 217 - castFromXInterface is called

Reference.hxx: Line 134 - castToXInterface is called

compbase4.hxx: Line 70- WeakComponentHelperBase::acquire prototype

implbase.hxx: Line 236 - WeakObject::acquire definition

-  ContextChangeEventMultiplexer receives and processes event.

-  In ContextChangeEventMultiplexer addContextChangeEventListener 
adds and calls the notifyContextChangeEvent

-  SidebarController::notifyContextChangeEvent: Line 257 is called. 
The rEvent associated with the notifyContextChangeEvent is a valid address

-  The rEvent STRUCT contains the application name and context name 
references

Context.cxx: Line 51 - msContext(rsContext)

ustring.hxx: Line103 - pData = str.pData

-  Processing continues as normal from this point till line 168 of 
SidebarController.cxx



The second time the notifyContextChangeEvent is called:



SidebarController: Line 168 - the xWeakController(this) is called

Reference.hxx: Line 134 - castToXInterface is called

Reference.h: Line 232 - function castToXInterface

Reference.hxx: Line 135 - if(_pInterface)

Reference.hxx: Line 136 - _pInterface-acquire(); (Why does this not behave 
like the first call above? Should there be a call to 
WeakComponentHelperBase::acuire? The next step appears to skip all these 
procedures.)

SidebarController::notifyContextChangeEvent: Line 257 is called, the rEvent is 
pointing to a reference that cannot be accessed.

-  The dbx dump has an rEvent = STRUCT

-  The dbx print of the rEvent says that it is referenced through a 
nil pointer

Context.cxx: Line 51 - msContext(rsContext)

ustring.hxx: Line103 - pData = str.pData

-  Accessing the pData in the string has been corrupted and causes 
the following Segmentation Fault:

-  Signal SEGV(no mapping at the fault address) in 
rtl::OUString::OUString at line 103 in file ustring.hxx



We are trying to do our due diligence on this problem and we have been 
investigating it as best we can, but we are lacking in knowledge that the 
community can provide, which is why we are seeking help. Also the errors don't 
seem to make sense, so we believe we are dealing with a bug. We hope we are not 
being an inconvenience, and we definitely appreciate the help. We are 
investigating alternatives, but would really like to get this to work. Our 
current applications use OpenOffice extensively.  Since we had to move to 
Solaris 11, we are forced to get this working or find another solution, which 
we'd rather not pursue.



Hopefully you or a member of the community can help us make some headway. We'd 
appreciate it. Thanks.

Andre,

We are not seeing any exception before the actual crash. Maybe I am not looking 
in the right place, but we've been using dbx intercept command to track any. 
Any other suggestions?

  Also, I've attached the stack trace of the first and second

I already recommended the try to find whether any exceptions are thrown (and

In gdb I'd use the command

catch throw

to find the throwing code. Maybe there is similar facility in Solaris Studio?

We've recently compiled OpenOffice 4.01 on Solaris 11 x86 and are experiencing

Observed Behaviour

1.OpenOffice starts, the splash screen with logo appears and then

2.Selecting either the Word or Spreadsheet project causes a 
segmentation fault and closes the application.

3.Following the start of the application with the debugger, we can

6.This template definition for WeakController uses
