openscad -o out.echo test_hull.scad AppRun.wrapped: src/value.cc:211: Value Value::clone() const: Assertion `false && "unknown Value variant type"' failed. Not sure how to debug this. I'm also having a hard time figuring out what's going on in general because the error messages have wrong line numbers (past the end of the file). -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

It seems like adding an "echo" statement provokes this segfault. Not sure if that's significant. I can get the code to fail without a segfault if I remove echo statements. adrianv wrote > openscad -o out.echo test_hull.scad > AppRun.wrapped: src/value.cc:211: Value Value::clone() const: Assertion > `false && "unknown Value variant type"' failed. > > Not sure how to debug this.

Did you mean to include an example script in your post because I'm not seeing anything?

All I can tell you at the moment is that the problem is caused by running the hull function from BOSL2, which was why I was wondering about troubleshooting strategies. (The hull function doesn't always cause the segfault, only sometimes.) If I try to run the BOSL2 regression tests, specifically the file tests/test_hull.scad, I get a segfault. Do I need to do a binary search on the code (comment out half, see if it works, etc) to try to isolate the problem more? There's no way to get any information about what causes the problem since it just crashes. thehans wrote > Did you mean to include an example script in your post because I'm not > seeing anything? > > On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 8:32 PM adrianv &lt; > avm4@ > &gt; wrote: > >> It seems like adding an "echo" statement provokes this segfault.

Normally for debugging, I would run the example on a debug build of OpenSCAD, under gdb, and get a full backtrace as a first step. We don't distribute binaries with full debug info since they take up a few hundred extra MB of space, so you'd need to build from source yourself.

Just a quick update. After much head scratching and diagnostics, the cause was whittled down to a minimal test script, and the issue was logged in Github: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/3541 A PR has already been created to fix this class of error. With any luck the fix should be merged shortly and included in upcoming RC3. Thanks for the report.
