Summary0001292: Crash propably in MeshPart
DescriptionOS: Windows 7
Platform: 32-bit
Version: 0.13.1828
Python version: 2.6.2
Qt version: 4.5.2
Coin version: 3.1.0
SoQt version: 1.4.1
OCC version: 6.3.0

the python script crashes FreeCAD
        if obj.isDerivedFrom('Part::Feature'):
            #mesh the shape
            import MeshPart
            params = FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/OpenSCAD")
            objs.append(obj)
            meshes.append(MeshPart.meshFromShape(obj.Shape,params.GetFloat(\

                 params.GetFloat('meshlocallen',5.0),\
                 params.GetFloat('meshdeflection',0.1)))

In ntdll.dll!_NtFreeVirtualMemory@16 the final RET causes a protection fault.

I tried to repoduce this on
OS: Windows 7
Platform: 32-bit
Version: 0.14.2690 (Git)
Branch: (no branch)
Hash: 992712602c67b3310689c526f08c620f382f546a
Python version: 2.6.2
Qt version: 4.5.2
Coin version: 3.1.0
SoQt version: 1.4.1
OCC version: 6.5.1

I needed to rename MEFISTO2d.dll to MEFISTO2.dll to load the MeshPart module.
There is no crash, but instead i get invalid meshes.
>>> MeshPart.meshFromShape(App.ActiveDocument.Sphere.Shape)
Mesh: [0 Faces, 0 Edges, 23 Points]
>>> MeshPart.meshFromShape(App.ActiveDocument.Cone.Shape)
Mesh: [0 Faces, 0 Edges, 49 Points]

the same commands on the 0.13 windows stable trigger the crash

Thanks for trying that out, werner
If don't load my OpenSCAD WB or import the OpenSCADUtils.py i can use MeshPart.meshFromShape.
It seems to involve WB loading. I guess it is something like a broken Qt Resource file.
the only point in which my installation differ from the 0.13 is the OpenSCAD module.
git@github.com:5263/FreeCAD.git dev-openscad
And python code should not introduce crash bugs.

Now I got it crashing in debug mode but without loading the OpenSCAD wb. It happens inside StdMeshers_MEFISTO_2D::Compute() at the end when freeing the memory.

 This is the last stack frame. I haven't figured out where to find the previous one. But guess that this is related to SMESH.

The crash happens at these two lines:
  if (uvst != NULL) delete[]uvst;
  if (nust != NULL) delete[]nust;

The pointers got initialized inside the function aptrte.

Is there anything i can do, to work around the problem?

Not from your side. But it could be checked if not using StdMeshers_MEFISTO_2D hypothesis still creates a good mesh and if so we can disable for at least Windows. I guess on Linux (in case you use it) you don't have the problem.

About the reason what is causing this issue I think it's the way how the Mesfisto lib is built. Maybe it's related to the fact that memory is allocated in the Mefisto lib and freed inside FreeCAD.

Thanks for the information,
I'm went back to the shape.tessellate function.
What makes me suspicous is the fact this problem didn't exitsted two weeks ago.
Like Microsoft changed the behavior of my OS. (ollydbg told me that some system DLLs changed)

No, the problem is there for a long time. At the time when the SMESH lib was used as an external library I have seen crashes from time to time.

And according to this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/pythonocc-users@gna.org/msg01439.html it even happened with certain Linux OSes.

The Python script here https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc/blob/master/src/examples/SMESH/surfacic_mesh.py suggests alternatives for the Mefisto mesher but unfortunately it doesn't work for all kind of shapes. If you e.g. create a cylinder it doesn't mesh the lids. Internally the error message says that it cannot mesh faces with only one boundary.

git show fa97cb6c01 uses the Netgen mesher on Windows and the Mefisto mesher on Linux. Using Netgen on all platforms is currently not possible because the latest netgen dev package is not available on most of the Linux distributions.

So, this is a workaround for the moment. But note the meshing algorithms work totally differently and uses different parameters. The result is that the created meshes vary in number of triangles.
