hi,
...I've been running GEM lately linked to libMallocDebug, which allows
easier identification of memory related problems. Recently it has been
complaining about the following:
MallocDebug: free: target application attempted to free pointer that is
not pointing to a malloc block: 0x28a6b0
MallocDebug: Call stack: (find symbols with /usr/bin/atos)
MallocDebug: Put a breakpoint at malloc_printf to diagnose.
stack backtrace: 0x012d0184 0x012d0270 0x012d0358 0x012ca7a4 0x0138ad14
0x0138ac74 0x011fede0 0x011fe80c 0x011fef0c 0x00042184 0x00043690
0x000422a0 0x000422a0 0x00043690 0x000422a0 0x000422a0 0x00043690
0x000422a0 0x000422a0 0x00043690 0x000422a0 0x0004574c 0x00043398
0x0002d780 0x000435f4 0x000427ec 0x000434c8 0x000434c8 0x000690dc
0x00048268 0x0004a568 0x00002100 0x00001f80
MallocDebug: The address is not in memory used by the heap.
...when I use atos to find the symbols on this example, I get:

...I didn't translate any further, but the weird thing about this is
that the first symbol is reported in pix_mix.cpp:131, which isn't even
used in the patch!?! (and previous encounters with the warning gave
other sources 'unused' in the patch)...Upon inspection, the line that
_printStack refers to is always the last closing brace at the bottom of
the file...
...I'm totally stumped on how to proceed tracking this, especially
since the suggested "place a breakpoint at malloc_printf" is currently
working, which makes things even more mysterious...
...any ideas?
l8r,
jamie
