Description Agostino Sarubbo 2016-11-30 13:23:30 UTC
Created attachment 129152 [details]
output

My libreoffice-5.2.3.3 build with -fsanitize=address hangs because of a NULL pointer access in gengal.

This is reproducible in this way:
./gengal.bin --file $FILE

where $FILE can be any type of file (empty too)

Unfortunately I can't obtain a valid stacktrace  while I'm adding -g3.

Attaching the output as attachment.

Does the same happen with a master build?
Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2016-12-02 10:02:15 UTC
I need to try, it takes a bit here (24h), anyway for now the build succeeds here with "--without-galleries" suggested by dtardon on IRC.
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2016-12-08 08:53:59 UTC
Was this about a build problem? Because those belong to mailing list or IRC: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport#Not_all_bugs_go_to_Bugzilla
