| Summary | 0006640: Writing datasets with string arrays causes crash |
| Description | The vtkXMLWriter crashes at line 165 of vtkXMLWriter.cxx, ver.1.71 (length -= stringOffset;) when writing a dataset in appended mode which happens to contain a string array. The problem appears to arise because a new string is fetched at line 161 even when the previous string spanned a block and thus has not been completely written. It is then possible for stringOffset to be larger than the length of the new string causing a crash at line 177. I can see the problem but the fix is not straightforward. |
| Additional Information | E-mail me and I'll send you a 3MB dataset that always causes a crash (it is possible some string arrays will not). |
