Hi guys,
I'm working on a cross-platform open source project written in C that compiles into multiple shared libraries. One of those libraries has contructors and destructors defined like this:
Our libraries work on every Linux distro we tried and also on MacOS X Sierra and later, but for some reason we get SEGVs on FreeBSD (we tried 11.0-RELEASE, 11.1-RELEASE and 12.0-CURRENT). When debugging, it seems that the argc and argv parameters that are fed into the function don't contain the correct values (see gdb frame #3 below, it's apparent from value for argc):
I'm trying to create a minimal reproducer for this problem, but simple examples with minimal functions work fine.
Is there someone that has a deep knowledge of how this works that could point me in the right direction of what could possibly cause this to happen so we can figure out the bug or get a minimal reproducer?
Thanks,
Dimitri
