Description jianann87 2012-01-08 07:51:39 UTC 
When SDL is loaded and close multiple time in the same process/program, e.g a unit test fixture or framework. SDL_CreateWindow tend to randomly crash at times. I am not sure what cause the error, my guess is perhaps it might be related to the position independent code of the libraries when compiled.

Here is the gdb backtrace of it:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

Can you attach a simple crashing program?

Thanks!
Comment 2 jianann87 2012-01-13 06:56:30 UTC 
Created attachment 766 [details]
simple app that can reproduce the crash

i think maybe the crash may be related to position independent code.
