Bug 2648

Summary: Linux: Haptic Subsystem doesn't shutdown cleanly, Segfaults on Second launch.
Product: SDL Reporter: Scott Mansell <phiren>
Component: hapticAssignee: Edgar Simo <bobbens>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: amaranth72, Sonicadvance1, tilkax
Version: 2.0.3   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Scott Mansell 2014-07-17 08:38:12 UTC 
When a Haptic compatible joystick is connected, calling SDL_Quit causes the haptic subsystem to corrupt the SDL_hapticlist linked list.

The next time SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick is called, SDL segfaults trying to read the linked list.

Looks like the bug was introduced in this change: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/3b7bb407fcf7

Does this bug still happen with the latest Mercurial revision of SDL?
Comment 2 Tillmann Karras 2014-08-11 06:56:31 UTC 
Multiple users (including me) have tried the latest Mercurial revision and say it's fixed.
