Description Iris Morelle 2016-06-18 10:08:32 UTC

The Git master version as of 136e9f27f25d85d2573d9f0eede6963818cdba20 sometimes segfaults at exit. This happens silently (the KDE crash handler doesn't appear) other than a line like the following being written to the system log:

[196447.905520] choqok[8551]: segfault at 7fef761fb340 ip 00000000004106cb sp 00007ffd87cb0ac0 error 4 in choqok[400000+23000]

I have not been able to obtain a backtrace from gdb thus far because the bug seems to elude observation when under a debugger, but I was able to get this from Valgrind (using master @ 6b646e86a466bdb92966092826c18a50f4aefe34 for line numbers), which might be related. These are the only invalid memory accesses reported by Valgrind otherwise:

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run choqok, probably with at least one configured account
2. Exit choqok. The exact activity in between both steps doesn't matter.

Actual Results:  
Roughly half of the time this results in a segfault being reported in the system log (or terminal if Choqok is running from one). The rest of the time Choqok exits without crashing.

Expected Results:  
Exit without crashing.

Built using -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug against KDE Frameworks 5.22.0 on Debian unstable, using GCC 5.4.0.

Comment 1 Frédéric Brière 2022-06-19 16:39:40 UTC

I'd be willing to bet that this is a duplicate of bug 400117, but it's hard to say for certain without a backtrace.  (That bug isn't related to the invalid memory accesses reported here, but that could be a red herring.)

(Technically, bug 418312 can also trigger a segfault when quitting, but only after certain specific steps have been taken, which seems incompatible with a 50% failure rate.)

Comment 2 Frédéric Brière 2022-06-21 06:17:55 UTC

Bug 455644 is also another likely candidate.

That said, the Valgrind log does reveal a bug (AFAICT), which still persists to this day, so maybe this bug report should not be closed as a duplicate just yet.

I've now submitted !21, which includes a fix for that.

Comment 4 Christoph Cullmann 2025-06-09 20:08:17 UTC

Choqok is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/network/choqok

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
