[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56952] segfault during compilation while processing doc/interpreter/genpropdoc.m

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56952 (project octave):

An update that focuses the problem (now I would say it is a run-time problem,
not a compile problem):

Adding --disable-docs the lines that crashed on my iniital report are skipped
and I can complete compilation. However the resulting binaries crashed at some
tests, in particular ibinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst

We may reproduce the crash running manually octave against a simplified test,
for example:

octave --norc test.m

with test.m:


hf = figure ("visible", "off");
 set (gca (), "xticklabel", [0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1]);
 xticklabel = get (gca (), "xticklabel");
 close (hf);
 assert (class (xticklabel), "char");
 assert (size (xticklabel), [6, 3]);


No crash is produced commenting out the lines with the hf handle.

This test is ok with octave 5.1.0 compiled on the same environment.
