Robert, Would it be possible to get an answer to my initial questions, please? Thanks! Regards Hartmut
Anything I can do about this? What does this assertion mean?
My setup: Linux 64Bit, gcc 4.2.4, serialization is used for polymorphic objects loaded from different shared libraries, shared libraries are loaded with dlopen(RTLD_GLOBAL|RTLD_LAZY).
Assertion (extended_type_info.cpp:92) occurs during program termination (after main returned), during dlclose().
If anything else isn't possible, would it be appropriate to change the related code (before the release!) from:
assert(start != end);
// remove entry in map which corresponds to this type do{ if(this == *start) x.erase(start++); else ++start; }while(start != end);
To:
assert(start != end);
// remove entry in map which corresponds to this type while(start != end) { if(this == *start) x.erase(start++); else ++start; }
Which wouldn't remove the problem, but at least avoids hanging the program if assertions are off...
Regards Hartmut
