Version: gideon HEAD from approximately 13/09/2002 (using KDE KDE 3.0.7) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux I came accross a bug which causes gideon to crash on leaving. The bug is located in the PartManager of kdelib-3.0.7. The PartManager does not inform its parts if it is about to be destroyed. Therefore, a part tries to access its PartManager, even if it is gone. The following patch takes care of this bug: *** ../../temp/kdelibs-3.0.7/kparts/partmanager.cpp Mon Aug 5 17:39:45 2002 --- kparts/partmanager.cpp Sun Sep 15 09:47:08 2002 *************** *** 103,108 **** --- 103,116 ---- // core dumps ... setActivePart( 0L ); qApp->removeEventFilter( this ); + + // Inform all parts that their manager is gone. + QPtrListIterator<Part> itpart ( d->m_parts ); + for ( ; itpart.current() ; ++itpart ) + { + itpart.current()->setManager(0); + } + delete d; }
I've already sent this information to the kdevelop-team and wanted to inform the KDE-Team as well. Didn't mean to send the same report twice to the kdevelop-team...
Quite an uncommon case that the partmanager is destroyed before the parts, which is probably why noone noticed this bug before :) . In any case thanks a lot for the report/patch, it's fixed now in HEAD.
