Let's get it down to one each... ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1667352 SDL apps "Failed to connect to the mir server: std::bad_alloc" or crash in google::protobuf::MessageLite::InternalSerializeWithCachedSizesToArray from mir_connect_sync -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670844 Title: libmirclient cannot be reloaded through dlopen Status in Mir: In Progress Status in Mir 0.26 series: Triaged Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Code example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24133139/ Fails on the 2nd load due to an issue of libprotobuf-lite not being unloaded. Meaning the static variables aren't being re-inited. Protobuf uses a static variable for an empty string optimization which ends up becoming a dangling pointer: back trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24133152/ valgrind: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24133156/ The workaround/fix that we saw was to re-set that static variable which will let the empty string be init'd correctly.
