Bug #3752
closed
ruby/dl and segmentation fault
Description
=begin
I am trying to port ruby-taglib to ruby 1.9
My current efforts can be dowload at http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=5494 .
When I trying to access an unsupported format file (i.e. an empty file) I have an segmentation fault.
Here is a test case which work with the 1.8 serie (TagLib::BadFile is thrown).
require 'taglib'
begin
tag=TagLib::File.new("/unsupported/format/file")
p tag.title
rescue TagLib::BadFile
p 'TagLib::BadFile'
ensure
tag.close if tag
end
The segfault happens is the private method TagLib::File#tag when TagLib.taglib_file_tag is called.
The important steps are in ruby-taglib code are:
require 'dl'
require 'dl/import'
extend DL::Importer
dlload 'libtag_c.so'
extern 'void* taglib_file_tag(void*)'
@tag (Andrii Tereshchenko) ||= TagLib.taglib_file_tag(@file)
See the full code (less than 250 lignes) for more info.
I think TagLib.taglib_file_tag returns nil on error with ruby 1.8.
Can this behavior be ported to ruby 1.9 ? A crash is not very handy.
Here is the trace :
