Created attachment 86041 [details] From valgrind output Using QWebView in an application. When netscape plugins are enabled there is a problem on linux (openSUSE 11.4) On Windows it works as expected. It seems to be a stack corruption caused by the netscape plugin. After the error message our application runs into some problems. When plugins are disabled everything is ok. I have seen this issue on older bug reports i have found with google. But obviously it has not been solved yet. I attach output from valgrind. See: *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-wrapper.c:3160):invoke_NP_Initialize: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection)) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 in NPP_GetValue()
What do you expect us to do with that kind of information?
(In reply to comment #1) > What do you expect us to do with that kind of information? There is a stack corruption when you enable plugins on QtWebView on openSUSE 11.4, not on Windows. The question is: "Who is responsible ?" Apple, Nokia, Novell, Mozilla ? This problem seems to be around very long from what i see from searching with google. It should be solved. The question is who is responsible for that. I expect that you verify the issue and forward the issue to the responsible organisation. If you need more information please tell me.
I am not debating the responsibility of bug fixing. I do not see how would could work without test case, nor which plugin is used. And I do not see anything useful in the valgrind trace. (You are not making friends by reopening the bug yourself.)
Here is a test program for reproducing the isse: /**************************************************************************** Test program for showing issue with NSplugin on openSUSE 11.4 (other Linux ???)

Ok, if you really want to screw with us... Qt WebKittens: please ignore this bug. The guy is just trolling, he reseted the flags himself.
(In reply to comment #7) > Ok, if you really want to screw with us... > > Qt WebKittens: please ignore this bug. The guy is just trolling, he reseted the flags himself. Trolling ??? The test case is very simple. Did you test it ? Why do you run a bugzilla at all ? Qt WebKittens: Run the test case yourself and you will see what i mean. If i'm wrong please tell me what is wrong about my test case. Don't let me die stupid.
Since Benjamin thinks I'm trolling review this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675937 It seems to be the same issue. It seems to be related to the flash plugin.
Benjamin blames me as "Troll". I think this is arrogant. If Benjamin thinks i should post with my real name here is my reason. pvbrowser stands for http://pvbrowser.org and you can find my real name here http://pvbrowser.de/pvbrowser/index.php?menu=8&topic=8&subtopic=4 When i owned the commercial license of Qt back in days of Trolltech they have been polite at support@trolltech.com
Ok, let me try to explain. What we usually get is: (and by usually, I mean every single bug but this one for the last ~2 years): -someone report a bug -someone from WebKit triage the bug. She/he sets the priority, the tags, flags etc -the bug usually miss a good test case, so he gets a low priority -the reporter add a good test case, and explain why it is important -the priority is adjusted accordingly by someone from WebKit We sometime have fights about bug priority. But the reporter resetting the flags and debating our responsibilities, that is a new one. We have other bugs, reported by people acting nicer. That is why I won't worry about this particular one for now...
Bug reporting and using bugzilla is not a task i do every day. If i have done anything bad excuse me. But from time to time there is something to report. I do not exactly know who is responsible for this bug because several companies / projects are involved. Now that you have a small test case i hope you will take care for the issue. Eventually must forward the bug report to another instance. PS: In Trolltech times (pre LGPL) i owned a commercial license of Qt. Back in these times the Trolltech support team has been a big help to me. But i also reported some issues that turned out to be a bug. Please be patiend with your users.
Andreas tried the test case on trunk and did not have any problem. Did you tested WebKit trunk? http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnLinux
> Did you tested WebKit trunk? http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnLinux No i used the Qt libaries that are delivered with openSUSE 11.4 When i enable plugins on QWebView and goto a webpage like youtube i get: /usr/src/packages/BUILD/icedtea6-1.9.7/plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc:1978: thread 0x752540: Error: Invalid plugin function table. *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-wrapper.c:3160):invoke_NP_Initialize: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection)) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 in NPP_GetValue() The "Error: Invalid plugin function table." worries me. The question is why is there an error (at least on openSUSE 11.4) when NSplugins are loaded. On Windows this works well and you can even watch flash videos in a QWebView. One other thing i noticed meanwhile is this: When the plugins are loaded my locale is reset by the plugin. This has been the reason that our application had problem with floating point numbers. After changing the locale back to setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"C"); there are no more problems in our application. Thus: Perhaps the problem is not as serious as i thought. But i think somebody should search for the reason for the above error message.
(In reply to comment #14) > Thus: Perhaps the problem is not as serious as i thought. But i think somebody should search for the reason for the above error message. I think you underestimate how totally buggy NPAPI plugins generally are :) The warning comes from NSPluginWrapper. Someone will have to check that code. I might have a quick look at the code of NSPluginWrapper next week but I will not invest serious time without a reduction.
