Bug 142663 – stabilize x11-plugins/wmmixer-2.0_beta4-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Denilson Sá Maia 2006-08-03 08:19:08 UTC]

$ wmmixer
XpmError: XpmOpenFailed )

After some debugging, I found that, at theme.cc file, after this line:
  background_image_   = new Image(background_image_name_, x_handler, &icon_w, &icon_h, mask);
All *_image_name_ properties are lost. (like if their values have been overwritten)

After a little more debug, I found that "file_name" variable is lost just after the following code at x_handler.cc file:
  status = XpmReadFileToPixmap(display_, 
			       window_main_,
			       file_name,
			       p, mask, &attributes);

I still don't know with sure what's the cause of this bug.

It seems to memory related errors - usage of previously uninitialized pointers and addressing beyond initialized boundaries. I haven't time to fix all memory related errors but at least the first patch may be enough for clean run (tested with GCC 3.4.6):  

In file 'theme.cc' comment out last two lines in Theme constructor:
Theme::Theme(const string& filename)    
  throw(InvalidThemeException)          
{                                     
...                                   
  //  delete config;                    
  //  config = NULL;                    
}                                     

In file 'dockapp.cc' in Dockapp constructor replace line 'icons_ = new unsigned[theme_->icon_num_];':
DockApp::DockApp(Mixer* mixer, int argc, char** argv, const string& display, const string& position, const string& theme_file, char x_flags)                                      : mixer_(mixer), icons_(NULL)
{ 
...
  icons_ = new unsigned[mixer->getNumChannels()];
...
}

In Portage (as new revision). Thanks for the submission, and even more for the patch!

[Comment 3 Denilson Sá Maia 2006-09-24 18:27:50 UTC]

Since the current version (2.0_beta4) fails to run, and a newer version (2.0_beta4-r1) is available, I suggest marking it as stable. Maybe even remove the old version.

[Comment 4 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) 2006-10-06 01:39:02 UTC]

Done (for x86). Other archs, please consider marking stable as well...

[Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2006-10-15 12:31:43 UTC]

Stable on SPARC

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-03-11 16:46:45 UTC]

mips never had this stable, closing a stale bug.
