Summary0004340: dashboard: tests failing when using Debug version of STL
DescriptionWhen building VTK 5.1 (cvs) on a Unix platform using gcc 3.3 or later with the Debug version of STL, several dashboard tests timeout. See for example:

http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/RogueResearchi386/MacOSXTiger-i386-carbon/20070118-0300-Nightly/Test.html [^]

This dashboard has been yellow for 2 months now. :(

This bug has been seen on Mac OS X and linux.

To build with the Debug STL add -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG to your CXXFLAGS.

The symptom is that the code is stuck in an infinite loop at the end of vtkOTMesh::CreateInsertionCavity() in vtkOrderedTriangulator.cxx.

Is anyone looking at this? It seems to not even be assigned to anyone... I would have thought that since it is reproducibly causing dashboard failures that would get high priority. :)

Bill Lorensen has very kindly looked at this, and reports the following:

"I'm pretty sure I have found the problem. vtkOrderedTriangulator is creating dangling iterators. These are never used however, so for normal stl it is OK. But safe stl keeps track of all iterators that access a given container. This vtk class uses vtkHeap to allocate all of its memory so the iterators never get deleted. But vtkHeap reuses the storage that iterators were allocated from. The iterators get corrupted and stl safe gets caught in a loop while verifying the iterators. (Confusing enough, but I hope you get the gist.)"

David, this bug has been unassigned for almost a year now, and it has been about a year that these dashboard tests are failing, so I've taken the liberty of assigning this bug to you. :)

To demonstrate, compile on a *Nix machine with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG and run TestClipHyperOctree.

David has fixed this, thanks!
