Problem
When building a Tools.h++ library compiled with RWDEBUG defined, the following test case will produce a segmentation fault at run time:
Cause
An optimization in the copy-on-write mechanism that prevents empty strings from being copied causes this error.
Action
This error can be fixed by modifying the assertions in the file cstring.cpp in the method RWCString::clone (both clone() and clone(size_t)).
When building a Tools.h++ library compiled with RWDEBUG defined, the following test case will produce a segmentation fault at run time:
main() {
RWCString s;
s.toLower();
return 0; }
Result: Segmentation fault core dump.Cause
An optimization in the copy-on-write mechanism that prevents empty strings from being copied causes this error.
Action
This error can be fixed by modifying the assertions in the file cstring.cpp in the method RWCString::clone (both clone() and clone(size_t)).
RWPOSTCONDITION(pref()->references() == 1);becomes
RWPOSTCONDITION(pref()->references() == 1 || temp == nullStringRef);The same problem appears in the RWWString class. The same fix applies here.
