You should only be defining SQLITE_CORE if in fact the extension is part of the core -- that is compiled and included (statically linked) to the core sqlite3.c compilation unit. In this case, the extension makes direct calls to the sqlite3 entry points and shares the same runtime as the sqlite3 core engine.
If the extension is *not* part of the same linkage unit as sqlite3.c, then it cannot access the sqlite3 core functions using direct linkage and must instead use a structure of function pointers (aka a class) for indirect access. Having an extension be a part of the core but not telling it so is only deleterious to performance (linkage is via indirect function pointers rather than static linkage). Telling an extension that it is part of the core when it is not will lead to memory access errors, either due to bad loadtime linkage or more likely to the fact that it is using a separate runtime heap and/or stack manager and neither the extension nor the actual sqlite3 core can manage each others' memory allocations. --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users- >boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Lifepillar >Sent: Monday, 4 December, 2017 12:45 >To: sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org >Subject: [sqlite] Cannot initialize statically linked extension > >Hello, >I need some help to figure out a segfault.
