Re: [syslog-ng] [PATCH] patterndb: Fix test_patterndb crash when testing outside-of-rule db lookups.

Nick Alcock <nix@esperi.org.uk> writes:

First test_patterndb_tags_outside_of_rule() nulls out the messages pointer, then it calls clean_pattern_db(), which unconditionally dereferences it.

While I was under the impression that g_ptr_array_*() would handle a NULL ptr array, I see no harm in the patch itself, especially considering its in a test. I applied the patch to 3.5/master, thanks! For the record, I never saw the crash, so perhaps it happens only with specific glib settings... Do you have any G_DEBUG or similar environment variables set? If not, can you tell me how your glib was compiled, or which distro this crash happens on? -- |8]
