GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 723499
Go To -> Previous History sometimes crashes Anjuta
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:22:01 UTC
I was trying to figure out what the Next History and Previous History actions in the source code context menu do. Twice, Anjuta crashed. Unfortunately I have no idea how to reproduce this. Backtrace available at [1] I was working in a C project, so I'm surprised that the backtrace ends in the Vala plugin. I manually opened the core dump on my system to confirm the retrace server didn't make a mistake. [1] https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/problems/536006/

Thank for your report, but indeed I don't understand what's happen exactly. It seems the symbol db plugin consider that one symbol comes from a vala source file and so load the vala plugin which crashes.
To be honest, I think this is a memory corruption and it might be useful to check the prev/next history code for any memory errors. Maybe I have some time for this during the weekend.
