Description Callegar 2012-10-03 17:27:17 UTC
Hi,

and I have some scripts that rely on .uno:Quit it to shut down libreoffice after some operations have been done.

Most of the time, everything goes nice. However, after having processed some documents libreoffice segfaults when calling .uno:Quit. This is systematic. For instance, I have a bash script to export presentation slides in pdf, that goes like

${SOFFICE} ${SOFFICE_OPTIONS} \
      $CMDPREFIX.SaveSlidesAsPDF\($fullname\) ".uno:Quit"

where SaveSlidesAsPDF is a macro inserted in libreoffice to do the PDF export.
Now, with certain documents everything is fine. With others, after the export rather than quitting libreoffice segfaults. Note that the problem is not in the export: libreoffice produces a valid PDF file.

When crashing libreoffice says:

#

Maybe mine is a bit of a corner case. However, the application should never segfault in this way.

Could you attach the batch script?

Could you try to retrieve an useful bt by following this link? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_backtrace_.28on_Linux.29

Hi:

The issue is triggered by calling the following macro and then trying to exit.


Sub SaveSlidesAsPDF(srcFile)

srcURL = ConvertToURL( srcFile )

dim oPropDoc(0) as New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oPropDoc(0).Name="Hidden"
oPropDoc(0).Value=True

'msgbox(srcURL)

oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( srcURL, "_blank", 0, _
  oPropDoc())
            
pdfFile=Left(srcFile,Len(srcFile)-4)+".pdf"
pdfURL=ConvertToURL( pdfFile )

Dim oPropPDF(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oPropPDF(0).Name="ExportNotesPages"
oPropPDF(0).Value=true

Dim oProp(3) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oProp(0).Name="Overwrite"
oProp(0).Value=true
oProp(1).Name="FilterName"
oProp(1).Value="impress_pdf_Export"
oProp(2).Name="FilterData"
oProp(2).Value=oPropPDF()

oDoc.storeToURL(pdfURL,oProp())

oDoc.close( True )

End Sub


The thing is invoked via a bash script that does

${SOFFICE} ${SOFFICE_OPTIONS} \
      $CMDPREFIX.SaveSlidesAsPDF\($fullname\) ".uno:Quit"

Where:
  SOFFICE is /usr/bin/libreoffice4.1
  CMDPREFIX is the place where the macro is stored inside libreoffice, in my case macro:///SC_PDF_Export.lib
  fullname is the name of an odp file that is passed to the script

for instance

libreoffice macro:///SC_PDF_Export.lib.SaveSlidesAsPDF\(file://$PWD/test.odp\) .uno:Quit

The basic script executes just fine. Indeed the pdf document is correctly generated. However when getting to the ".uno.Quit", libreoffice segfaults.

The issue is still present in 4.1.2RC2

SOME NOTES

1) Without the final .uno.Quit libreoffice does not segfault.
2) With --backtrace libreoffice does not segfault, so it is impossible to take a backtrace
3) Apparently there is not anymore the need for the final .uno:Quit, because after the macro libreoffice exits by itself (with previous versions of libreoffice and with openoffice this was not the case and .uno:Quit was indispensable to eventually exit libreoffice)
4) Even if the .uno:Quit is now redundant, it should not make libreoffice segfault.

Please, switch to confirmed if this information is enough.

Sergio: thank you for your feedback. I'm not familiar with Macro but with information provided, I'll switch to NEW.

Noel: one for you?

Hi, this is probably fixed in current 4.3.

Marking as resolved. I will reopen if needed.
