Hello,
it seems that a child process does not see the initialization of a
static const std::string variable if it is defined in a dll. Instead this
corrupt variable
lead to a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
The following 4 example files demonstrate this behaviour:
1) dllif.h: (define the dll's interface)
#include <string>
class cTestIf {
public:
virtual std::string get() = 0;
};
2) dll.h: (member variable t will cause the child's stackdump)
#include "dllif.h"
class cTest : public cTestIf {
public:
static const std::string t;
virtual std::string get() {
return cTest::t;
}
};
3) dll.cpp (definition of dll including initializer of t)
#include "dll.h"
const std::string cTest::t = "Test";
extern "C" cTest* getTest() {
return new cTest();
}
4) test.cpp (fork child, load dll and print cTest::t both in parent and
child)
#include <unistd.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include "dllif.h"
#include <iostream>
typedef cTestIf *(*tFunc)();
void load(const char *p) {
void* lib = dlopen("libdll.dll", RTLD_NOW|RTLD_GLOBAL);
tFunc func = (tFunc)dlsym(lib, "getTest");
cTestIf* test = func();
std::cerr << p << ":" << test->get() << "\n";
}
main() {
if (fork())
load("parent");
else {
sleep(30); // keep child alive to enable attachment from gdb
load("child");
}
}
commands used to create dll and test program:
g++ -g -c dll.cpp -o dll.o
g++ -shared -o libdll.dll dll.o
g++ -g -c test.cpp -o test.o
g++ -o test test.o -L. -ldll
./test.exe prints only 'parent:Test' - parent works as expected - and gives a
test.exe.stackdump - after 30 seconds.
an example gdb session looks like:
attach <child pid>
b load
c (needs up to 30 seconds for return)
n
n
n
s (step into dll's cTest::get method)
p t (print cTest::t, _M_p seems to be corrupt)
$1 = {static npos = <optimized out>,
_M_dataplus = {<std::allocator<char>> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<
No data fields>}, <No data fields>}, _M_p = 0x0}}
n
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Any idea to fix or circumvent this error?Regards, Werner ___________________________________________________________ Schon gehört? WEB.DE hat einen genialen Phishing-Filter in die Toolbar eingebaut! http://produkte.web.de/go/toolbar
