Can't run in debugger about coturn HOT 11 CLOSED

The problem is that pthread_create(...) on error returns not a negative value. It returns an error number that is positive. So, if the thread creation failed, then we treat it as success, but the content of the thread id is undefined. This is why the detach function is crashing. I can fix it in the next build. But why the thread creation is failing is unclear, probably your debugger is doing something wrong.

I pushed the fix to the master branch. You can try that and let me know please.

I've confirmed that git master doesn't crash as soon as I start it in the debugger. (Didn't bother checking to confirm everything else is working in the debugger, only that it doesn't crash right away).

Much appreciated!

This problem is back in 4.5.0.3

I'm very sorry, I wrote the wrong version number.

The version that I'm running is 4.5.0.4, the latest release.

I'll try testing the latest git master branch.

Latest git master branch has the same problem:

static void setup_auth_server(struct auth_server *as)
{
if(pthread_create(&(as->thr), NULL, run_auth_server_thread, as)) {
perror("Cannot create auth thread\n");
exit(-1);
}
pthread_detach(as->thr);
}

the call to pthread_detach triggers segmentation fault.

I'm running with qtcreator 4.0.3
gdb 7.12
coturn was compiled with gcc 4.9.3

What version of gdb do you use? I can install and try that version.

So you can't reproduce the issue?
