Robbie Gemmell updated PROTON-829:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.9)
Removing 0.9 fix-version since it doesn't seem like anything was done there in
Proton, changes instead being made via QPID-6415.
> Possible reference counting bug in pn_clear_tpwork
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-829
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-829
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: proton-c
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Alan Conway
> Assignee: Rafael H. Schloming
>
> See QPID-6415 which describes a core dump in the qpid tests that appears when
> using the current 0.9 proton master. The qpid tests pass OK with proton 0.8.
> The valgrind output in QPID-6415 shows that a connection is deleted while it
> is being finalized by a call from pn_connection_unbound to pn_clear_tpwork.
> I do not yet understand the details, but removing the following strange code
> fixes the problem and passes the proton test suite without valgrind errors:
> {noformat}
> --- a/proton-c/src/engine/engine.c
> +++ b/proton-c/src/engine/engine.c
> @@ -690,10 +690,10 @@ void pn_clear_tpwork(pn_delivery_t *delivery)
> {
> LL_REMOVE(connection, tpwork, delivery);
> delivery->tpwork = false;
> - if (pn_refcount(delivery) > 0) {
> - pn_incref(delivery);
> - pn_decref(delivery);
> - }
> }
> }
> {noformat}
> The code is strange because
> a) you should never examine a refcount except for debugging purposes
> b) under normal refcounting semantics incref+decref is a no-op.
> Is removing this code OK?
