API cause core dumps by referencing data that can be released by user about aerospike-client-c HOT 3 CLOSED

Currently we expect as_config setup to immediately precede an aerospike_connect() call. And within the aerospike_connect() call, a deep copy of the host address is made.

Can you describe a situation where the configuration setup is not in the same scope as the connect call? And we will consider making the deep copy earlier.

Thanks.

The situation is

char *addr = *(String::Utf8Value(addrVal->ToString()));
int port = portVal->Int32Value();
as_config_add_host(&asConfig, addr, port);

deep copy should be immediate, not delayed. But I also experienced many other core dumps, so I will not use AS in any serious projects.

we've considered this, and currently have opted for easier api of not requiring a config_destroy().

Regarding additional crashes, we have made extensive fixes, including the up coming release. Please do let us know if there are additional issues you hit, and we will do our best to address them. Thanks.
