RE: Regarding gcc debugging

Could it be because Sm_UnInit is getting called twice: once in your main routine by you, and then again in the object's destructor?  If Sm_UnInit is doing some cleanup work, and then tries to do it again, the structures it is trying to clean up the second time would not longer be valid, and could cause a core dump.  It seems to me that if you are calling in it the destructor, you probably shouldn't also be calling it directly in your "main" routine.  (That said, you'll know the API that you're working with - this is just a thought...)

Thanks,
Lyle Taylor

Subject: Regarding gcc debugging

Hi,
I am trying to debug a C++ program with gdb on Linux
AS 2.1. when the program terminates,the destructor is
called and this destructor in turn calls the
un-initializer routine.After the Un-inilization
routine is over it does not give core dump.But then it
goes in main and gives core dump.

      ***************source code starts***********

void SmAgentExample::Sm_UnInit( )
{
    int iResult;

    printf("Value of pSmApiHandle inside Sm_UnInit is
%x\n",pSmApiHandle);

    if ( NULL != pSmApiHandle ) {

        Sm_Logout();
        //
        // UnInitialize the Agent API
        //
        // Return values:
        //      SM_AGENTAPI_SUCCESS
        //      SM_AGENTAPI_FAILURE
        //      SM_AGENTAPI_NOCONNECTION
        iResult = Sm_AgentApi_UnInit( &pSmApiHandle );
        if (SM_AGENTAPI_SUCCESS==iResult)
            printf (  "Agent Released\n" );
        else if (SM_AGENTAPI_FAILURE==iResult)
            printf ( "UnInitialzation Failed\n" );
        else if (SM_AGENTAPI_NOCONNECTION==iResult)
            printf ( "Timeout for server response!\n"
);
    }
        printf("I am here\n");
    login = 0;
}

SmAgentExample::~SmAgentExample()
{

    pSmApiHandle = NULL;
    printf("Inside destructor\n");
    Sm_AgentApi_FreeAttributes(iNumAttributes,
pAttributes);
    printf("Before Sm_UnInit function\n");
    Sm_UnInit( );
}

int main()
{
   .....

   while{
   switch(input)
   case 'q' :
          break;

   }
   a.Sm_UnInit( );
   printf ( "Done, thank you for Testing the API.\n"

   return 0;
}

You probably have a corrupt heap, as the sigsegv arrives after main 
returned, the destructor is called, and apparently, after that 
destructor is returned. The reason is probably in some other place in 
your code.
