Hans, this is the patch I mentioned in crbug.com/88944.  This is obviously a lame way to control order of destruction among sibling objects.  Open to suggestions.

Thanks for looking at this!

I was staring a bit at this to see what was going on.

This makes us destroy the leveldb::DB object before we destroy m_comparatorAdapter, which is probably exactly the right thing to do. But we should do it by re-ordering the members of the class instead.

Ditto.


I'm not set up to reproduce this at the moment. Can you see if the following patch does the trick?

I couldn't reproduce the original problem on latest ToT.  Going back to r92772, picked somewhat arbitrarily, worked though.

Hans, your re-order suggestion indeed fixed the problem. I had forgotten that member variables are guaranteed to be destroyed in reverse order of declaration.

Nate, sorry to bug you again.  Could you do another, quicker, review?

Rather than depending on the ordering in the header file, we should probably manually destroy the OwnPtr<>s in the destructor by calling .clear() on them in the proper order.
