Attached patch Patch (WIP) (obsolete) — Splinter Review
*** Original post on bio 1017 as attmnt 805 at 2011-09-05 09:28:00 UTC ***

We received several (~1/week) crash reports for this. We crash at shutdown because a purpleAccountBuddy is uninitialized at during a JS GC, probably after the purple core has been uninitialized.

I think I have a fix for this (patch attached), but I would like to look at it later to double check the usage of the libpurple blist signals/uiops which is a bit hackish...

Apparently the buddy-removed signal is fired by libpurple when a buddy is permanently removed from the list (so it's fired when we delete the accounts while uninitializing libpurple), but not when a buddy is destroyed because the whole list is destroyed. The remove uiop is called in both cases, so I think it's more reliable to use it. I would still like to understand how come deleting all the accounts don't delete all the buddies, causing some to be left over for when we uninitialize the libpurple core (a bug in libpurple? in a prpl? Some of our code returning early in an NS_ENSURE_* macro?).

I'm not really confident in my patch as it causes lots of "WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(accountBuddy) failed: file /Users/florian/buildhg/hg.instantbird.org/purple/purplexpcom/src/purpleInitContacts.cpp, line 210" messages to appear in my terminal, meaning some buddies are already uninitialized when the remove uiop is called...

Different approach, less scary.

People seem to be frequently crashing with different but similar stacks on current nightly builds, so this should probably block 1.2.

I played with valgrind on an up to date linux debug build today, and I saw this at shutdown:
