Crash with optimized build: Assertion `CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE (&surface->ref_count)' failed.
Hello,
I'm getting a core dump when opening panorama images taken with my Samsung S9. Apparently some Samsung phones produce invalid jpgs in panorama mode, but after doing some analysis I don't think this should actually cause a crash in gthumb. So far it rather seems to be an issue related to the error handling.
The error I'm getting on the console:
gthumb: cairo-surface.c:930: cairo_surface_reference: Assertion `CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE (&surface->ref_count)' failed.
and it crashes at:

I first experienced this crash with the package provided by manjaro/arch which is compiled with -O2. When first trying to reproduce this crash with my own build the picture showed just fine, so it took me a while to figure out this is actually related to the optimization level (-O1 also produces the crash).
Let me try to give some more details on what I saw while debugging and what I'm suspecting. Feel free to ignore everything after this if my assumptions are wrong due to not really knowing the code base. So far it looks to me like one important NULL assignment is optimized away in cairo-image-surface-jpeg.c:903 :
surface = NULL; /* ignore other jpeg errors */
A little later the call to jpeg_finish_decompress
seems to produce an error due to the malformed jpeg file, which causes the error handler to jump back to stop_loading
. As surface
was not set to NULL and the only remaining ref_count is kept by the GthImage the cairo assert eventually fails when entering gth_image_set_cairo_surface
the second time.
So I'm not very familiar with goto and compiler optimizations, but is it possible the NULL assignment to surface is optimized away because the compiler thinks the variable is not used anymore? A quick (and ugly) fix that fits to this assumption is to just add another access to surface after the if in line 609:
g_print ("surface: %d\n", surface);
With this the pictures show fine to me even with -O2.
I'm happy to provide more information if something is missing.
