SEGFAULT

[inikep]

The current version of CSC crashes with gcc and Visual C++ when there is many repeated compression calls:

If you have problems with generating this issue use lzbench -ecsc filename compiled from:

@inikep can you send me the file that causes the crash? I ran the command you showed on a few files and everything went well. Thanks!

@inikep here is my example output:

Have you tried "dev" branch? I had no issues with "master" until Travis upgraded LLVM to 7.3.0:
https://travis-ci.org/inikep/lzbench/jobs/166444914

I have problems with all files I test. It suggest that:
a) CSC uses to much stack size which has limit of 1 MB on Windows
b) there is a memory leak (try valgrind to find it)

You may also try compression for example for 60 seconds on Linux:
lzbench -ecsc -t60 filename

The crash should be fixed by c5dbe09. Thanks for reporting.

Works fine now.

I would ask for one change in libcsc. Could all references be changed from #include <csc_XXX.h> to #include "csc_XXX.h" ?
Current approach requires gcc compilation with -Ilibcsc because of this.

There is still SEGFAULT on
Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0
https://travis-ci.org/inikep/lzbench/jobs/167837672

The issue concerns also very old version of libcsc:
https://github.com/inikep/lzbench/tree/master/libcsc

For the first time I noticed this issue about a week ago when Travis CI upgraded version of MacOS/LLVM from this:
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.54) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
