Yes, I think that valloc() is not used that often. Also, When I tested valloc() in a separate program in Ubuntu, it worked fine. So the bug is not easy to reproduce outside libtorrent.
Note that I would not say that libtorrent author is unresponsive (although I think he is on holidays right now). He tried to contact eglibc mailing list about the meaning of the assert. He also patched his code so that we could switch easily from valloc() to posix_memalign(). This is the reason why my patch is so small. And unlike eglibc developer, I do think that hitting an assert in eglibc is proof on a bug in eglibc. If they think that hitting this assert can be due to a bad use of valloc() by libtorrent, then they should point us in the right direction (the assert only has meaning for them). -- assert hit in eglibc (valloc) with libtorrent v0.15 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
