mystery segmentation fault

[worksofcraft]

I had a go at making shared library and linked it with an application that works fine with the static library, but with the shared library it crashes with a segmentation fault when the program is trying to exit.

gdb reports it as being in a function called "g_slice_free_chain_with_offset" from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0


gdb claims that it was called by a destructor of one of my objects so I looked in said destructor only to see that it is a completely empty method:

cs_glade::~cs_glade() {}

Not only that but the object doesn't even have any data members

// wrap graphical user interface from GtkBuilder as an indexable container (by widget name)
struct cs_glade: cs_map_item {
    cs_glade(charptr pGladeFileName, charptr pWindowName);

    const cs_gtkitem &widget(charptr pName) const {
        return dynamic_cast<const cs_gtkitem &> (operator[](pName));
    }
// ~cs_glade(); // crashes on exit
}; 

So I deleted the pointless destructor... and the program now exits fine... problem solved... or is it?

My next might involve adding a destructor to said class or one of it's descendants... how can I find out why it is calling that glib function if it isn't in my code?

Problem solved... Trying to use autotools was making it all to complicated for me
I think I'll stick with a nice straight forward bash script from now on
