hy guys

I think I might have found a seg fault error. If the GetDataInfo(matrix, DataFilterID, ...) batch language command is run with an empty Datafilter, I get a segmentation fault.

BTW, is there an error printing command which prints the buffer immediately? I was unable to locate the problem using the HYPHYMP execution from the command line as the "fprintf" statements I used to track the error weren't executed before the Seg Fault error.

However, when using the GTK GUI I was able to track the error line before the GUI printed out the seg fault

Hope this helps you guys

Dear Gordon,

You should not be able to create empty filters in HyPhy, so if you can – that's a bug! Can you attach some example code that crashes the program?

Hey Sergei

I get a seg fault with just a one line batchfile with the GetDataInfo command. If the data filter does not exist ( such as a typo in the filter name or if it hasn't been created yet ) it seg faults.

i.e. my data filter was called "part" but I made a caps typo in the command and called it "Part", which caused the error.

Dear Gordon,

The current (SVN 605) version of HyPhy reports an error if I try

[code]
GetDataInfo(res,garbageID,1,1);
[/code]

but does not segfault. Can you confirm which version is crashing in your example?
