Crash when deleting control nodes from the Default Voice MSEG

[jhillest]

Surge XT Version 1.3.makepkg.20a8e16ab

• Version:
• Plugin Type: VST3, Standalone
• Bitness: [64-bit]

Reproduction Steps: Steps to reproduce the behaviour, starting from default Init Saw patch:

1. Change LFO1 waveform to MSEG
2. Open the MSEG editing window.
3. Right-click anywhere in the graph window, choose "Create" and select "Default Voice MSEG" from the list.
4. Double-click on one of the control nodes at either step 2 or 3 to remove it.
5. Double-click on the last control node.

Expected Behavior: Deletion of the last control node, without crash.

Computer Information (please complete the following!):

• OS: Arch Linux 6.6.7-zen1-1-zen
• Host: Ardour
• Version: 8.2, codenamed "Tracks and Traces"

Additional Information: VST3 plugin crashes Ardour when triggering this behaviour. Standalone version also crashes.

hmmm i can't recreate that on standalone on macOS. double click on last point just takes me from n to n-1 segments in envelope mode. i'll be in linux sometime this week so I'll try then.

anyone else can repro on their system?

[mkruselj]

Cannot reproduce on Windows, either.

[baconpaul]

Hmm I trie this on my linux box last night also with no crash.

Any chance of a stack trace or anything?

[mkruselj]

@jhillest Some feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

[jhillest]

I've never done a backtrace before. I used these instructions to make one with gdb - hope it helps.

backtrace.log

[jhillest]

A friend reminded me about strace and gave me instructions on how to use it. strace.txt

[baconpaul]

Thank you! I’m away this weekend but will look next week to see what I can glean from these.

crashes every time for you yeah?

[jhillest]

Yes @baconpaul - crashes every time, without fail.

[baconpaul]

Oh I wonder if this is an “arch compiles prod software with asserts on” issue.

Arch can crash with (say) an inverted clamp where Ubuntu will not because arch default build keeps asserts on in prod.

Not anything to do but I literally just had this thought pop in my head so wanted to jot it down as note to self for next week

[baconpaul]

Yeah look at this from the crash log

so lemme see if i can figure out what in drawAxis is oob on that array.

[baconpaul]

ahh and now i can trap it on macOS too. Got it. Will have fix soon.

[baconpaul]

OK I believe this is fixed @jhillest

so

1. Thank you very much. Good bug reports make good software
2. If you use the binaries, a new nightly will be available in about an hour
3. If you build from source, pull any commit at or newer than 4bb5486

Since I was finally able to repro it on mac, i closed this issue with the merge, but if you still get it please let us know and we can re-open

[baconpaul]

(and just so i remember, mac in RelWithDebInfo behaves like arch in this case)

[jhillest]

@baconpaul I built Surge from source. Ended up with version 1.3.main.14417985. Tested standalone and copied Surge XP.clap to /usr/lib/clap/ and fired up Bitwig. I did not bother with the VST3 version.

Your fix works!

Also:

1. I'm equally grateful to have access to this amazing software. 🤩
2. It's both encouraging and uplifting to read that you think my bug report is good. 🥹
3. Thanks for the reminder @mkruselj. 👌😊
4. Thanks to my friend who kindly informed me about strace - you know who you are. 😉

I'll be looking forward to submit more bug reports in the future! 🤓

Cordial regards /Joachim

[baconpaul]

Wonderful!

Also lesson learned - if we get an arch bug report, try and repro it with macos/RelDebInfo :)

Have fun using surge! (and also short circuit this year)
