YACReaderLibraryServer "double free" error was created by le__el

Hi, just got the iPad version this weekend and wanted to use my local headless server to store the comics, and then "stream" those to the tablet.

The first test I made in a Virtualbox machine. I followed the raspi guide and everything was ok.
But after I installed on my local server I found a issue that was not present on the Virtualbox.

Everything works, but when I get to the last page of a chapter and touch twice to open the next chapter, the YACReaderLibraryServer always crash. Sample:

Code:

INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.427 YACReaderLibraryServer attempting to start
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.428 ---------- System & configuration ----------
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.428 SO : Linux (unknown version)
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.428 7z : found
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.541 Libraries:  QMap()
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.541 --------------------------------------------
INFO  2018-05-28T23:10:32.542 YACReaderLibrary starting

double free or corruption (out)
Aborted (core dumped)

As a workaround, I started using the bash:

Code:

while true; do YACReaderLibraryServer start; done

So when crash it will automatically rerun (almost) immediately.
This is working and most of the times the iPad app is able to automatically load the next chapter, but sometimes the rerun is little slow and the iPad app returns a 404 error and I am sent back to the chapter list (so I have to refresh the page and select the first unread chapter manually).

When trying on the Virtualbox (Windows 10 Host / Ubuntu Server 18.04 Guest), this whole issue didn't happen.

My setup

Tablet:
iPad 3 (iOS 9.3.5)
YACReader for iPad version 2.5.5

Local Server:
Ubuntu Server 18.04 64 bit (Headless server)
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz / 4GB RAM
YACReaderLibraryServer --version didn't return anything, but the code was just cloned/compiled from bitbucket from the tutorial.

Any tips to investigate this, enable additional logs, etc?
The server_log.log file is empty.

Thanks!

Hi le_el,

thanks for taking the time to report this, this definitely shouldn't happen. The first thing that strikes me is the log output you posted. I'd expect a list of libraries to be there, but I only see an empty QMap().

To investigate this you should first switch to the latest development version of the headless server. You can get it by cloning from our new github repo:

Code:

git clone https://www.github.com/yacreader/yacreader --branch develop

Build YACReaderLibraryServer with debug info enabled:

Code:

qmake CONFIG+=debug

That will allow you to load the server into gdb for debugging.

Code:

gdb --args YACReaderLibraryServer start

Once gdb has loaded type "r" and hit enter to run it. Try to provoke the crash. Once the crash happens, go to gdb and enter "bt" for backtrace. Copy the backtrace and post it here so we can see what happened before the crash.

You should build the server from the 9.0.0 source tarball, develop contains a lot of changes in the server and the v1 api hasn't been tested.

The 9.0.0 source tarball won't build on Ubuntu without the latest fixes from the master branch.

Oops, my bad, when I deleted the duplicated content from the log, I accidentally mixed the log from before adding the library with the error from after. This is the whole log:

In a couple hours I will try to get the gbd logs.

Just finished compiling and the problem don't happen in the github version.

Also, this time it recognizes which os is running:

Code:

servidor@servidor:/arquivos/manga/dev/yacreader_dev/yacreader/YACReaderLibraryServer$ ./YACReaderLibraryServer start
Logging to /home/servidor/.local/share/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary/server_log.log

INFO  2018-05-29T11:31:59.708 YACReaderLibrary starting

Should I compile with the debug the bitbucket code to get the error, or since it's working with github it's all good?

Really thanks!

--- edit:

And this is the log from the first tested library (stored in my customized /arquivos/...), instead of the ~/ dir (which I created to test if that was the issue, but also crashed with the previous).

Code:

If it works now, then great

The code in github contains the new version comming in a few days/weeks.

The repo in Bitbucket is not used anymore, and it won't be available after the release of 9.5.0

Thanks for testing this. If it works now that is fantastic. Just keep using it and report back if anything doesn't work as expected.
