Package: inkscape
Version: 0.47.0-1
Severity: wishlist
in an attempt to generate a grid with only vertical lines, I've simply set
horizontal spacing to 0. That lead inkscape on a quest to generate an infinite
number of lines, while memory was allowing... I guess (due to optimization and
absent inkscape-dbg it wasn't obvious to figure out actual location in the
stack ) that is the code which led to such outcome:
src/extension/internal/grid.cpp
,---
| Glib::ustring build_lines(int axis, Geom::Rect bounding_area,
| float offset, float spacing)
| {
| Geom::Point point_offset(0.0, 0.0);
| point_offset[axis] = offset;
|
| SVG::PathString path_data;
| for (Geom::Point start_point = bounding_area.min();
| start_point[axis] + offset <= (bounding_area.max())[axis];
| start_point[axis] += spacing) {
| Geom::Point end_point = start_point;
| end_point[1-axis] = (bounding_area.max())[1-axis];
|
| path_data.moveTo(start_point + point_offset)
| .lineTo(end_point + point_offset);
| }
|
| return path_data;
`---
so if any spacing is 0 (or negative?) then it would get into an "infinite" loop
of adding lines.
Since I had some unsaved changes, I had to dive into gdb to safely return
from this endavor of inkscape without waiting until memory gets exhausted and
something bad happens.
Please forward wishlist upstream to guard poor users from themselves in this
(and probably similar) scenarios.
