Re: hard crash with pcbnew

 

Hi Andy

I was testing Adam's 5645 Nightly version with the scripting turned on.
I was not able to get it to crash, but I also was not able to find the
trigger for "Edit Line Segment Properties" dialog box. I was in Edge
Cuts layer. See parallel posting.

Another possibility - go into Mac Finder and look at all of the KiCad
components. Are the date and time about the same? I am seeing about
02:10 all on the same date (Today). If you have one or more with a
different date, then that is a clue to re-install the set from the dmg file.

Let me know how to trigger the "Edit Line Segment Properties" dialog box
and I will test what you did.

Hope this helps

Bob G

Using Adam’s nightly OS X builds, most recently BZR 5645, pcbnew is repeatedly crashing. It happens on both my 10.9 machine and my 10.10 machine. In OpenGL mode, it seems to get confused about menus, or something. It happens if I right-click to do something. I am not exactly sure what conditions cause it. Attached is the relevant part of the bug report:


Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Menu to be set as submenu is already a submenu of some menu.'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
OK, happened again; I had the "Edit Line Segment Properties" dialog box open, trying to edit a board outline (on the Edge Cuts layer) and Kicad died immediately after I clicked “OK” to close the dialog. And I was in the default canvas, not the GAL.

BZR 5645, OS X 10.10.3 using Adam’s builds.
Are you able to build KiCad yourself? Given Bob's report there should be
only 5 commits that could break things, so could you try to revert 5644
and see if the problem is fixed?

If it is not possible, I will revert the change in the repository and
hold it until I manage to access a Mac.
I will try to build. I used to do it, and I got screwed up trying to use the scripting builds with wxPython and ran into build problems. Then Adam’s builds came online (although not his DEBUG/scripting (?) builds) and I stopped trying.

I can also download earlier builds, and see if I can figure out where it fails.
