I'm getting a segfault when registering a object with a method that returns a handle to it's self. The following code reproduces the crash:

#include <angelscript.h>
#include <stdio.h>

class IManaged {
    public:
        virtual void addRef() = 0;
        virtual void Release() = 0;
};

class Test : public IManaged {
    public:
        void addRef() {

        }

        void Release() {

        }

        Test &Foo() {
            return *this;
        }
};

Test *pTest;

int main() {
    asIScriptEngine *pEngine = asCreateScriptEngine(ANGELSCRIPT_VERSION);
    asIScriptModule *Mod     = pEngine->GetModule(0, asGM_ALWAYS_CREATE);

    pTest = new Test();

    pEngine->RegisterObjectType("Test", 0, asOBJ_REF);
    pEngine->RegisterObjectBehaviour("Test", asBEHAVE_ADDREF, "void f()", asMETHOD(Test, addRef), asCALL_THISCALL);
    pEngine->RegisterObjectBehaviour("Test", asBEHAVE_RELEASE, "void f()", asMETHOD(Test, Release), asCALL_THISCALL);
    pEngine->RegisterObjectMethod("Test", "Test &Foo()", asMETHOD(Test, Foo), asCALL_THISCALL);
    pEngine->RegisterGlobalProperty("Test @pTest", pTest);

    const char *Script = "void main() { pTest.Foo(); }";

    Mod->AddScriptSection("script", Script);
    Mod->Build();

    asIScriptContext *Ctx = pEngine->CreateContext();
    asIScriptFunction *Func = Mod->GetFunctionByDecl("void main()");

    Ctx->Prepare(Func);
    Ctx->Execute();

    return 0;
}

here is the backtrace:

#0  0x0000000000412682 in asCScriptEngine::CallObjectMethod (this=0x737010,
    obj=0x4c5e30 <vtable for Test+16>, i=0x7400f0, s=0x740150)

This happends on both 32 and 64-bit builds with GCC 4.7.2 (Linux)

Thanks,

Dave

This is tested against r1529

I'll look into this. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that if I don't inherit from IManged it works just fine.

I haven't time to investigate this, but I believe the problem is with how you register the global property.

As you tell AngelScript that the property is a handle you should pass a pointer to the pointer.

Either change the declaration to be by value, i.e without @, or pass the address of the global variable.

It doesn't crash when not inheriting from the interface because then the addref and release are not virtual and the method doesn't actually use the object.

That was my problem, thanks.
