Bug #361
memory corruption during attempt to use another plugin from the cue plugin
0%
Description
I have tried to make some improvement of cue plugin.
During my attempt I have found a strange memory corruption. It happens
not every time.
It is only happens after:
base_tuple = aud_file_read_tuple (filename, decoder);
It is easy to find that place in cue.c.
It breaks data stored in memory allocated form the heap using malloc() .
To reproduce it I need to open using "open files" the same cue file ( a lot of tracks and
only one flac file) 5-10 times. I will get distorted lengths of the songs.
My system is Ubuntu 13.04.

Updated by Two important questions:
1) What change did you make to the cue plugin?
2) Did the memory corruption occur before or after you made that change?

Updated by Hi John
I have made double check to be sure.
And I have found the problem.
I have configured audacious again with recommended command './configure --prefix=/usr' instead of './configure' , and all bugs have disappeared, original and improved version of cue plugin work without problems.
May be the old version from ubuntu repository was not completely uninstalled and it was a mix of old and new files. I don't know why ;( because, I have used purge option to do it.
Thank you for your help. I think it a time to close this bug ;)
Ones more question. How can I add the improved cue plugin to main stream source code.
Thanks

Hello John
I have already implement "express cue file repair possibility"
1) file extension auto detect (usually cue files containing links to files with .wav extension, but actually a media contains *.flac or *.mp3 files)
2) relative paths auto remove (usually cue files containing a wrong relative paths, but actually current directory contains the required audio files)
And I am going to implement some more improvements
for example:
1) possibility to read cue files containing links to multiple files and also the track number is bigger then number of files. Nowadays cue plugin cannot read such files correctly.
2)...
