digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 6194] New: [GSoC] Destructor gets called on object before it is copied when calling writeln()

           Summary: [GSoC] Destructor gets called on object before it is
                    copied when calling writeln()
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: cristi.cobzarenco gmail.com

import std.stdio;
import std.conv;

struct Test {
    int x;

    this( int m )     { x = m; }
    this( this )      { writeln( "Postblit: ", x ); }

    ~this()           { x = 42; }

    string toString() { return to!string( x ); }
}

int main(string[] argv) {
    auto a = Test(3);
    writeln( a );
    return 0;
}

When the running the code above, 42 gets printed instead of 3. Looking at the
"Postblit: " writes, one can see that the postblit ctor gets called 6 times and
only the last copy sets x to 42. It seems that at the last copy the destructor
gets called before the object gets blitted.

Using a debugger, I think I found the offending copy at line 1599 in file
format.d. Strangely, as much as I tried to reproduce the same kind of copying,
I could never get the bug to appear without using writeln.

I'm not sure if it's a bug in DMD or Phobos. I'm inclined to it's Phobos bug.
The loop variable 'a' in the reduced 'formattedWrite' is obviously escaping its
scope, so calling the destructor is reasonable. However, this is essentially
the implementation of std.format.formattedWrite:

1. the arguments are taken address 

    foreach (i, arg; args)
    {
        funs[i] = &formatGeneric!(Writer, typeof(arg), Char);
        // We can safely cast away shared because all data is either
        // immutable or completely owned by this function.
        argsAddresses[i] = cast(const(void*)) &arg;
    }

2. and then they are referred later for actual formatting.

        {
            funs[currentArg](w, argsAddresses[currentArg], spec);
            ++currentArg;
        }

This works for me: foreach (i, arg; args) { funs[i] = &formatGeneric!(Writer, typeof(arg), Char); static if(hasAliasing!(typeof(arg))) { - argsAddresses[i] = &arg; + argsAddresses[i] = &args[i]; } else { // We can safely cast away shared because all data is either // immutable or completely owned by this function. - argsAddresses[i] = cast(const(void*)) &arg; + argsAddresses[i] = cast(const(void*)) &args[i]; } } Unfortunately we can't replace the foreach with a for loop because we can't do typeof( args[ i ] ). Does any one have any idea how we could avoid copying the arguments needlessly? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
