Segmentation Fault during btDiscreteDynamicsWorld Constructor (btAllocDefault) (TDM-GCC-64)

Post by MajorNr01 »

I compiled Bullet on Windows 7 into static libraries using cmake and TDM-GCC-64.

Has anyone else used Bullet with the TDM-GCC-64 compiler on Windows? If no one knows what's going on I would at least appreciate to know who has.

For testing purposes I simplified my usage to the following source code:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>

#include "btBulletDynamicsCommon.h"

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
    
    btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* cc = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
    btCollisionDispatcher* cd = new btCollisionDispatcher(cc);
    btBroadphaseInterface* bi = new btDbvtBroadphase();
    btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver* cs = new btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver;
    
    btDiscreteDynamicsWorld* dynamicsWorld = new btDiscreteDynamicsWorld(cd, bi, cs, cc);
    
    std::cout << "Bye World!" << std::endl;
    
    delete dynamicsWorld;
    
    delete cs;
    delete bi;
    delete cd;
    delete cc;
    
    return 0;
}

Compiling and running this in the GDB64 debugger it segmentation faults with this stack trace:

#include "btAlignedAllocator.h"

int gNumAlignedAllocs = 0;
int gNumAlignedFree = 0;
int gTotalBytesAlignedAllocs = 0;//detect memory leaks

static void *btAllocDefault(size_t size)
{
	return malloc(size); // <- THIS IS WHERE IT FAULTS ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}

static void btFreeDefault(void *ptr)
{
	free(ptr);
}

static btAllocFunc *sAllocFunc = btAllocDefault;
static btFreeFunc *sFreeFunc = btFreeDefault;

[...]

I see a few possibilities:

1. This is compiler related, i.e., TDM-GCC compiling for x64 does some weird/buggy stuff
2. GDB points me to the wrong place because I built the static libraries wrong for debugging
3. I am actually using Bullet wrong (???)
4. Something else entirely

As an aside, I have had trouble building things like Extras and Demos because they use 'snprints_s' or something which is only available in msvc and not MinGW, despite '_WIN32' being defined. This may or may not relate to this problem.

Also, my IDE is QtCreator.

Thanks for your help.
