Text.setString("") crashes on mac
« on: March 31, 2012, 02:08:40 pm »
I noticed that calling Text.setString with an empty string gives my a SIGABRT.
However, when passing '\0' instead of "" it worked correctly.

The SIGABRT comes from "/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/ext/new_allocator.h" on line 97, which is the deallocate function.

I am working on Mac OS X Lion with Xcode 4.3.2.

It is indeed the same bug.
I forgot to look at the bug tracker, I only quickly searched on the forum.
Thanks for pointing me to the right place.

Texus,

What I have done is extend the sf::Text class, and add setString("something"); in the destructor. There may be some pitfalls, and I understand it s a hack. But it is a workaround that has been seeming to work until the actual bug is fixed.

It would be better not to use such a hack.
The current workaround "Add -D_GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING=1 to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS" is better in my opinion.
