https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9666 <p> The following code causes a crash on Visual Studio 2013 when compiling for 64-bit and with optimization. </p> <pre class="wiki">#include &lt;boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp&gt; using namespace boost::interprocess; int main() { static const char name[] = "test_shm"; shared_memory_object::remove(name); managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, name, 65536); return 0; } </pre><p> The reported error is a buffer overrun The crash doesn't happen on 32-bit builds. It also doesn't happen when building without optimization. Finally, it doesn't happen when compiling with /GS- (disable security checks). </p> <p> This is the stack trace: </p> <pre class="wiki">msvcr120.dll!__crt_debugger_hook(int _Reserved=1) Line 60 C testshm.exe!__raise_securityfailure(_EXCEPTION_POINTERS * ExceptionPointers=0x000000013fa8c170) Line 70 C testshm.exe!__report_gsfailure(unsigned __int64 StackCookie=63963535653567328) Line 241 C testshm.exe!boost::intrusive::rbtree_algorithms&lt;boost::intrusive::rbtree_node_traits&lt;boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,1&gt; &gt;::rebalance_after_insertion(const boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;boost::intrusive::compact_rbtree_node&lt;boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt; &gt;,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt; &amp; header=&lt;struct at NULL&gt;, boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;boost::intrusive::compact_rbtree_node&lt;boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt; &gt;,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt; p={...}) Line 528 C++ testshm.exe!boost::intrusive::bstree_impl&lt;boost::intrusive::bhtraits&lt;boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;::block_ctrl,boost::intrusive::rbtree_node_traits&lt;boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,1&gt;,0,boost::intrusive::default_tag,3&gt;,void,unsigned __int64,1,4&gt;::insert_equal(boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;::block_ctrl &amp; value={...}) Line 861 C++ testshm.exe!boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;::priv_add_segment(void * addr=0x0000000050000063, unsigned __int64 segment_size=1374736) Line 426 C++ testshm.exe!boost::interprocess::segment_manager&lt;char,boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;,boost::interprocess::iset_index&gt;::segment_manager&lt;char,boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;,boost::interprocess::iset_index&gt;(unsigned __int64 segment_size=65536) Line 414 C++ testshm.exe!boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::basic_managed_memory_impl&lt;char,boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;,boost::interprocess::iset_index,8&gt;::create_impl(void * addr=0x0000000000000000, unsigned __int64 size=1) Line 176 C++ testshm.exe!boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::managed_open_or_create_impl&lt;boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object,8,1,0&gt;::priv_open_or_create&lt;boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::create_open_func&lt;boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::basic_managed_memory_impl&lt;char,boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;,boost::interprocess::iset_index,8&gt; &gt; &gt;(boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::create_enum_t type=1068023640, const char * const &amp; id=0x00000000000000c2, unsigned __int64 size=8, boost::interprocess::mode_t mode=read_write, const void * addr=0x0000000000000000, const boost::interprocess::permissions &amp; perm={...}, boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::create_open_func&lt;boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::basic_managed_memory_impl&lt;char,boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit&lt;boost::interprocess::mutex_family,boost::interprocess::offset_ptr&lt;void,__int64,unsigned __int64,0&gt;,0&gt;,boost::interprocess::iset_index,8&gt; &gt; construct_func) Line 407 C++ testshm.exe!main() Line 9 C++ testshm.exe!__tmainCRTStartup() Line 626 C kernel32.dll!BaseThreadInitThunk() Unknown ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart() Unknown </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9666 Trac 1.4.3 Roger Tue, 13 May 2014 10:21:39 GMT
