Description

Reported by user here: https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/4/topics/8573

The simple python script which creates a PyXdmArray object:

from saxonc import *

with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:
    print("Test SaxonC on Python")
    print(proc.version)
    
    xdm_value = PyXdmValue()
    for i in range(1, 6):
        xdm_value.add_xdm_item(proc.make_array([proc.make_integer_value(n) for n in range(1, i)]))

    print(isinstance(xdm_value, PyXdmValue))
    
    print(xdm_value)
    
    for item in xdm_value:
        print(isinstance(item, PyXdmItem))
        print(isinstance(item, PyXdmArray))
        print(item)

Prints the following error message before SaxonC crashes:

I ran gdb tool in the following sequence:

gdb python3
(gdb) handle SIG35 noprint nostop
(gdb) run example_loop_XdmArray.py

See output:

Also with the bt command:

It is is clear we are trying to add an XdmItem to the XdmValue which is a nullptr. We should safeguard this happening but also investigate why.

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

Bug fixed for when we try to create an array with zero items. Fix applied in the proc.make_array method. I have also added some conditional code in add_xdm_item to avoid the Segmentation error.

  • Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

After further investigation the SaxonProcessor.makeArray method in the C++ API is not correctly handling the empty array. This has now been fixed. For the example in comment 0 we are now getting as output the sequence:

[]
[1]
[1,2]
[1,2,3]
[1,2,3,4]
